Store-bought yogurt contains added sugar, often as high fructose corn syrup. And you thought it was good for you! It also has high lactose content which makes it difficult for those eaters with lactose intolerance issues.

We make our own yogurt using the Yogourmet Yogurt Maker. This allows us to decide how long to prepare the yogurt, which controls the lactose content. It also provides us with sugar-free yogurt that we then add pureed fruit and/or honey to for different flavors. By using different milk, you can also control the fat content of the yogurt. We prefer to use organic 2% milk from free-range cows, although whole milk is excellent as well!

If these aren’t enough reasons to start making your own yogurt, consider that store-bought yogurt also costs about twice as much… Don’t forget the yogurt starter!

You can buy the Yogourmet Yogurt Maker through the BestDailyRecipe.com store!
