Drinkable yogurt is a milk-based drink made similarly to traditional yogurt, with various thicknesses and flavors. It contains active cultures that promote digestive health and is a convenient and healthy snack option. Kefir is a popular example of drinkable yogurt.
Drinkable yoghurt is a milk-based drink made in a very similar way to traditional yoghurt. Several varieties are commonly produced and range in thickness from very thin to quite viscous and drinkable only with a good deal of patience. This drink is often flavoured, but many varieties, especially the more traditional ones, are sold and served plain. Most drinkable yogurt varieties are made with the same types of active cultures found in other types of yogurt and impart the same health benefits.
All true yogurt products are made by allowing certain desirable populations of bacteria to grow in milk, usually, but not always, cow’s milk. These organisms digest the sugars in the milk and produce a thicker, somewhat tart-tasting substance. This basic yogurt ranges in consistency from very viscous to fairly runny. The bacteria used to create the yogurt is usually allowed to remain in the finished product, although some commercial varieties use processing techniques that kill these bacteria.
A typical drinkable yogurt is simply a thinner type of yogurt. These products have long been traditional in Asia, Russia and India and have recently started gaining popularity in the West due to their flavor and convenience. Drinkable yogurt varieties popular in the West are often flavored, typically with fruit, but occasionally with chocolate or vanilla, to allow them to serve as a yogurt dessert.
Kefir is a typical example of drinkable yogurt. This product is generally quite viscous and although it can be poured and consumed as a drink, it remains very thick and creamy. Kefir is a very common sight at breakfast tables in Eastern Europe and has gained popularity elsewhere for its flavor and health benefits. Other varieties of drinkable yogurt may be thicker or thinner, but all tend to have a rich flavor and be high in protein.
Other commercially produced yogurt varieties are designed to be particularly convenient for people with very little time. Small single-serving packets of relatively thin drinkable yogurt are widely available. These can last for hours and offer a very convenient way to add healthy, relatively low-calorie yogurt snacks to a busy schedule.
There are many reasons to enjoy drinkable yogurt. Besides the satisfying taste and high level of protein, yogurt also imparts a host of other health benefits. The active cultures in drinkable yoghurt settle in the human digestive tract. These helpful microbes ensure good digestive health and may confer other health benefits as well.
