YOGURT THE WONDER FOOD.

YOGHURT

One of the greatest foods is Yoghurt.  I have enjoyed this for over forty years and never tire of the fact that it is satisfying, can be created in a variety of tastes and works as a healing and nutritious food.

When I opened my Health Store in the late sixties, I found that this was a novelty When you visited many spots in Europe , especially health and wellness farms, they introduced you to natural Yoghurt. One you developed a taste for it, it became a favorite in your diet.

Here are a few original ways to enjoy Yoghurt

For a healthy breakfast, have yoghurt with cut up fresh fruits of the season, and a few spoons of granola. Add honey or date syrup, a sprinkle of cinnamon and enjoy.

 Sunrider   NU PLUS is a food you can add to Yoghurt. It is a Soya based  choice and comes in a few   flavors .Ideal for the traveler as it comes in a packet as a powder  and creates a quick and balanced meal.

TZATZIKI.

The ideal cold soup or as a meal with a salad. You can pour it over sliced, baked potatoes, or eat it with steamed vegetables.
 250 ml natural yoghurt. One large diced cucumber, two finely chopped garlic cloves, a teaspoon of lemon juice, a teaspoon of olive oil ,vegetable salt and pepper to taste. 
Mix all the ingredients in a blender, chill and serve in a soup bowl or in a jug to use in different ways.

I find that this is lovely as a soup with toasted bread  or pitot

3 beaten eggs.  I add cinnamon and a cut up banana ,a grated apple or fruit in season.

Mix all together . Bake 40 minutes in hot oven

SWEETCORN AND YOGHURT PIE.

Use two cups of sweet corn kernels, I container of cottage cheese, one jar of yoghurt and a cup of grated cheese. Mix all with two eggs and add vegetable salt, black pepper and a little grated onion, and  two tablespoons of  thinly sliced parsley. Place in a lightly oiled dish and bake in a medium oven for thirty minutes.  Serve with a fresh green salad and dressing of olive oil, lemon and herbs. Enjoy.

SALAD DRESSING.

I               I use a jar of yoghurt, add vegetable salt, pepper, a little dried parsley and basil, a few chopped mint leaves and whisk it well. You can pour this onto a green salad. 

 .

If you enjoy baked sweet potato, potatoes, beets and zucchinis, you can pour a yogurt dressing over it all and serve it that way. Just  add a few grated walnuts on top

I use fruit yoghurt and mix it with chopped  cranberries, a few crushed walnuts and serve this over a baked apple.

Use a jar  of yoghurt, add chopped red pepper, chopped parsley, chopped cucumbers and half a cup of  thinly sliced lettuce. Place on a plate and add grated carrots, a few chopped nuts and raisins. Great summer meal.
===============================================================

YOGHURT AS A FACE PACK, FIRST AID AND ADDITIVE TO HEALTH
  When you have anti  biotics, eat a yoghurt a day, plus the vitamins the Doctor advises
.
 Use yoghurt as a face mask. Wash the face well and for oily skins,  use half a cup of yoghurt, plus a tablespoon of oats and a grated cucumber. Spread and leave on the face for fifteen minutes. Splash.
 off and dry.
  For a dry skin, mix the yoghurt with a few drops of olive oil and leave on the skin for ten minutes. Splash off.

I use yoghurt if I have sun burnt Just wipe onto the skin. For personal use there is nothing like yoghurt. Drink Cranberry juice to clear irritation and use yoghurt as a cream.
