5 Easy Recipes You Need To Try Using Yoghurt.

Yoghurt has become so versatile. You can stir it, set it, drink it, cook with it, add fruits to it, flavour it, add it to your protein shake and just be creative. It is made of whole, semi-skimmed or skimmed milk, with or without added sugars… You get my point, right? 😛 You can even use it in summer and winter!

The best part is that it is filled with nutrients and even helps reduce cardiometabolic risk factors (Cardiometabolic risk refers to your chances of having diabetes, heart disease or stroke).

I use Danone Nutriday Smooth Yoghurt which is a source of 5 nutrients. One of those sources is Vitamin A which is necessary for normal vision / for the maintenance of good vision.

Do you know that Vitamin A can protect your eyes from night blindness? Yoghurt contains vitamin A as well as the mineral zinc. Vitamin A protects the cornea while zinc helps bring that vitamin to the eyes from the liver. Zinc is found throughout the eye, especially the retina and choroid, which is the vascular tissue that lies under the retina. This important mineral helps with night vision as well as the prevention of cataracts.

Remember, too little and too much vitamin A can also have negative effects on you.

We buy at least 3 packs of yoghurt a week for the kids and a big tub for cooking.

Yes, cooking and baking! We even eat yoghurt as a salad/side with some of our dishes….
