question about yogurt plain nonfat....Tzatziki almost

[Guest guest]

I make this yogurt stuff, it has an ethinic name and I can't remember

what it's actually called...it's not really Tzatziki which has

cucumber in it and this doesn't. I think it starts with an

L...anyway...

What you do is take nonfat plain yogurt and basically drain out the

liquid by putting the yogurt in a coffee filter in a strainer over a

bowl and letting it sit out overnight. The whey/liquid drains off

and you have left yogurt with more of a sour cream consistancy.

I add garlic and lime juice to this and use it on my cool taco salad

from bfl, I also use it on yams, sweet potatos and on pita pocket

bread as a condiment. (just a tablespoon usually is all it takes)

Does this have enough protein in it to count as a protein portion? I

am guessing no because reglar yogurt is considered a carb on BFL...

Then I have another question, what to do with the liquid whey left

over. I wonder if I can add this to my oatmeal as a protein? (it's

the whey right?)

Btw, this is very delicious stuff and you can add a teaspoon of dry

ranch mix powder to it and get a yummy veggie dip.
