About Yoghurt drink
Yoghurt drink is a fermented dairy beverage enjoyed globally, originating from the Middle East and South Asia. It is typically made from milk fermented by live bacterial cultures, resulting in a tangy, refreshing drink. Variations exist across cuisines, such as Ayran in Turkey, Lassi in India, and Doogh in Iran. Yoghurt drinks are rich in protein, calcium, probiotics, and vitamin B12, offering a balanced nutritional profile that supports digestion and bone health. However, the specific nutrient content may vary depending on added ingredients like sugar, flavorings, or fruits.
Health Benefits
- Supports gut health due to probiotics, such as Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium, which promote a healthy microbiome.
- Provides calcium (about 120-150 mg per 100 ml) essential for maintaining strong bones and teeth.
- Rich in vitamin B12 (roughly 0.3 mcg per serving), which supports nerve function and red blood cell production.
Dietary Considerations
Selection and Storage
Keep yoghurt drinks refrigerated at 1-4°C and consume by the expiration date for optimal freshness and safety.
Common Questions About Yoghurt drink Nutrition
Is a yoghurt drink high in protein?
Yoghurt drinks generally contain moderate protein levels, with about 3-5 grams of protein per 100ml depending on the brand and type. They are often used as a light source of protein, but higher-protein options such as Greek yoghurt-based drinks may contain up to 8-10 grams per serving.
Can I have a yoghurt drink on a keto diet?
Most yoghurt drinks are not keto-friendly as they often contain added sugars and natural lactose, contributing to higher carb content. A typical serving may contain 10-20 grams of carbs. However, some brands offer low-carb or unsweetened yoghurt drinks that are suitable for keto diets.
What are the health benefits or concerns of drinking yoghurt drinks?
Yoghurt drinks are rich in probiotics, which support gut health and digestion. They also provide calcium and vitamin D for bone health. However, many yoghurt drinks are high in sugar, so it's important to choose varieties with minimal added sugar to avoid unnecessary calorie and sugar intake.
How much yoghurt drink should I consume in a day?
A standard serving of yoghurt drink is typically around 200-250ml. Drinking one serving per day can be a healthy addition to your diet but ensure it fits your daily calorie and sugar intake goals. For higher nutrition benefits, consider pairing it with a balanced meal or snack.
How does a yoghurt drink compare to regular yoghurt?
Yoghurt drinks are thinner than regular yoghurt due to added water or milk, and they may contain more sugar or flavoring. While regular yoghurt may have higher protein and probiotics, yoghurt drinks offer convenience and are easier to consume on-the-go. Always check the label for added sugars and nutritional differences.
