How Much Per Day?

If you ask us, a bowl of cereal and milk, a few drops of creamer for coffee, and then another dairy meal (either lunch or dinner) is just the line you want to be treading when it comes to dairy intake per day. We don’t recommend eating three meals of dairy per day, but occasionally it’s alright.

How Much Per Week?

It’s also good to think long-term. So that means if you have dairy three times a day, you’d better make sure you don’t have too much the rest of the week. If you’re just too obsessed with dairy that you’re having it three times a day, seven days a week, that’s egregiously too much.

Simple Carbs

Foods rich in sugar and white flour have a high glycemic index, which means they rapidly raise your blood sugar levels, which affects the hormones in your body, which ultimately makes your skin greasy and prone to acne. Don’t think that avoiding candy and junk food is enough; even fruits high in sugar, such as watermelon, can mess up your body and give you breakouts.

Dairy

Due to high sugar content and hormones from lactating cows, milk can make your skin break out when you least need it. Fortunately, this won’t happen from cheese or yogurt, so you’re safe there. Instead of dairy, use plant-based milk whenever you have the chance.

As people started realizing this, the yogurt manufacturers started coming up with more and more kinds to offer to consumers, and now there’s an impossible choice in front of us every time we go to the grocery store. Nutrition labels on the packaging reveal that some yogurt, even the organic ones, have more sugar than a can of Coca-Cola.

According to a study published in the British Medical Journal, most yogurts (out of 900 products included in the research) contain more than 10 percent sugar. This means they have at least 4 teaspoons in 5oz yogurt packaging! 

How did this happen? While natural yogurt contains nothing but fermented milk, the companies making it wanted to increase sales so they basically made what people wanted. Yogurts today come with many different flavors and are way less healthy than we typically believe. Keep that in mind the next time you’re in a grocery store.

Skyr is not exactly a type of yogurt. In fact, it’s much closer to fresh sour milk cheese, but the way you consume it makes it a great alternative for yogurt. It’s not a new thing; it’s been a big part of Icelandic cuisine for hundreds of years. 

Skyr is smooth and creamy, with high protein content, which is why it’s a perfect replacement for yogurt. One of the biggest differences between the two is the pasteurization process. 

How can you use skyr? In so many different ways! Add it to savory dishes, dips, salad dressings, or mix with fruits for a healthy sweet snack between two meals.

Cooking butter is used for various dishes and baked goods and it doesn’t have to be super fancy. In fact, the cheaper the better. Buy a big batch of generic butter that you’ll keep in the freezer and only keep a small amount in the fridge – even famous baker Stella Parks agrees, according to her Twitter. You can go with salted or unsalted as this is a matter of personal preference, although if you want to pick just one unsalted is the way to go.

Besides this cheap, generic butter, you also need a good-quality butter that you’ll use for snacking. Ideally, you will store it in a butter dish outside of the fridge so it stays soft. When not kept in the fridge, butter can last for several days so make sure you don’t put too much at once. A good choice is an Irish butter or any other butter with a higher fat content that comes from organic cow milk.

Kefir originated in the Caucasus region of Russia in the late 19th century. The people of this region created the drink, which then spread to the rest of Russia and the rest of the world in a gradual process.

So, what exactly is kefir, and how is it made?

Kefir’s primary and staple ingredient is milk. Most frequently, kefir is made with dairy milk, but it can also be produced using goat milk as well as vegan milk products such as coconut and rice milk.

To the starter milk, a culture consisting of yeasts, milk proteins, and bacteria is added. The mixture is then fermented until the final product is achieved.

Most people say that kefir tastes very similar to yogurt. It has a creamy texture and a slightly tart flavor that is comparable to the more well-known dairy product. Like yogurt, kefir can be flavored with fruits and other sweet things to make it tastier.

Despite this, has more probiotic properties than yogurt, which means that it’s great for gut health. This can help people with digestive problems greatly.

Otherwise, kefir has very similar health benefits to other dairy products, and it’s a great way to switch up your dairy intake.

Why is it So Good?
