one word for you brother: kefir

make your own! Buy a culture (they're like 3 bucks no joke!) and you can make it REALLY REALLY strong (ie very cultured). Basically however long it sits will mean the stronger it gets. It also cultivates all the lactose so if you don't like lactose the stronger the better...virtually none will remain cause the bacteria eats that shit.

cool thanks guys,

psyT, there are many organic goat milk, raw cow milk farms around here, that i can find kefir or the kit for it. im going to try it, hopefully damn easy.....easier than homebrewing gear? ahhahaha

Skyr.is - Plain Skyr from Iceland. Skyr is made from clotted skimmed milk. Osteoporosis. Icelandic Yoghurt.

if you can find it, this is kind of like a yogurt ice cream and is loaded with protein
it is popular in europe
hard to find in the states
some whole foods sell it

its really easy...here's what you do basically. Pour some milk in a big mason quart jar. Dump in a cultivated grain (the bacteria usually comes on grain to transport it/keep it alive). Set it out for 24 hours (room temp) with the lid loosely on (enough for it to breathe). It will bubble up. Drink it the next morning...it will have cultivated enough if it has a STRONG SOUR *tang* to it...its an acquired taste. I like slugging it down first thing in the morning. Leave a little bit of the kefir in and add some milk and the cultivated kefir acts as the catalyst then to cultivate the newly added milk (for the next day). Its an endless cycle as long as you don't drink all the kefir and keep adding milk!

Yep, they have it at my local whole foods; it is made from grass-fed cows as well.

Fage is a good and widely available brand

 

[EDED]

i will look for SKYRRRR as well, what a name, thanks guys.

PsyT, that sounds SUPER easy man,,,but kinda gross haha.

so you are saying if i let it sit 2-3 days, it wil have no lactose but tons of good bacteria? too much is probably bad for me right now.

 

[Jake LaMotta]

They don't sell the skr.is near my house so I'm going to try the Oikos Organic Greek Yogurt that VTliftVT mentioned (as seen here: **broken link removed** ). My local supermarket sells it.

My question is, is the 22 g of protein a good source of protein? Is it casein or whey? I was thinking of having one of the 16 oz. ones for breakfast each morning. Is that a good idea?

wegmans

any upstate guys(phil),wegmans sells a skyr type...siggis

it fixed my girlfriend's digestive track...she was a wreck but with a few diet changes and addition of kefir she was back on track. Try it you may never get off it!

Wow great post PsyT!

I usually eat Oikos or Fage, but I like the idea of homemade! I already aquired the sour taste and crave it sometimes, so I'm off to a good start lol

Edit: Confused on one thing. I just clicked the link for the Oikos site and it says:

Called “yiaourti” in Greece, Greek yogurt is creamier than regular yogurt. Authentic Greek yogurt like ours owes its extra creaminess to a centuries-old straining process that removes the whey (liquid) from the yogurt.For hundreds of years, Greeks have prized strained yogurt for its richness and creaminess, and because it makes a wonderful cooking ingredient that’s less likely to curdle when heated. Before the time of mechanical refrigeration, Greeks also knew that yogurt stayed fresh longer with the liquid strained off. Today we know that straining makes Greek yogurt richer in protein than regular yogurt, and lower in lactose.

Oikos Organic Greek Yogurt has 0% fat, just 90 calories per 5.3 oz.-serving*, twice the protein of regular yogurt, and fewer carbohydrates. Because it’s organic, our yogurt is also better for the earth. And we think it’s better for you, too.


If their straining the whey out, how does that increase the protein? I think I'm missing something lol

That's a good question. I also would like to know that as well.

i will first try premade kefir from organic whole milk then make my customized "STRONG' brew

oikos as well...i might shat out my colon

OT: who has ever sharted,,,im sure everyone has by now

tried kefir,,it was delicious!

i know there are many kits and all that avilable for home kefir,,,do you recommend one? did you use just regular milk? or should i use raw milk? lol

i might try goat milk to make it.

so far so good, plus costco sells stoneyfield oikos

thanks again bro

the best thing you could do is get real kefir like this, real kefir uses raw dairy. no one in the caucasaus use pasteurized homogenized milk

[mule]

the other thing is skyr is great stuff too but the stuff in the stores is not what the real skyr is, i will right more about this latter

 

[EDED]

i can get straight raw milk from cows titties, i just have to drive to WVA (di dididigngnngign<banjo sound)

then make qifphur that way

intersting...f it, i will just order random kit off the net and try it.

i think its better than yogurt, no lactose..well low lactose

i will make it stron like psyt said

raw milk room temp,,,should be okay the culture will probably dominate any bad bugs in there, out compete the food source

thanks, that link is cool but its illegal here in my state to have any raw milk products (wva too but i know a nice lady)

Yea, Skyr is great stuff. And yes, nearly every Whole Foods I've ever been in regularly stocks this stuff.
