Fun Nutritional Fact!

Live yoghurt is full of probiotics, which support our immune system, mood, and mental health through the gut-brain axis, aid digestion, protect against tummy bugs and food poisoning, and help to improve overall resistance to disease.

INGREDIENTS

350ml organic whole milk @yeovalley
2 heaped tbsps organic plain, live yoghurt (I use @yeovalley Greek style)
2 tbsps milk powder (optional - I used skimmed milk powder as I had some in the cupboard!)
Powder from 1 probiotic capsule (optional)
0.5L thermos flask (I have one that I just use for yoghurt)

INSTRUCTIONS

Heat the milk in a pan until bubbles start to appear.
Take off the heat and whisk in the milk powder.
Pour into a glass jug and allow to cool until just tepid.
Put the live yoghurt in a mixing bowl with the probiotic powder.
When the milk is tepid, add it to the mixing bowl and whisk well.
Pour into the thermos and screw tight.
Leave overnight and then pour or spoon into a sealable glass jar and refrigerate for up to a week.
