How To Make HIGH PROTEIN Greek Yogurt At Home (only 2 ingredients)

This is how to make Greek yogurt at home that is high in protein and is lactose free!

This process will work for any milk you choose, including non-dairy milk.

I chose Fairlife whole milk because it contains double the amount of protein and half the amount of sugar compared to regular milk - and it’s lactose free!

Whole milk will make a thicker and creamier yogurt, and contain more flavor than reduced fat milk, so keep that in mind when choosing your milk.

As the starter, I am using plain Greek yogurt. Any yogurt will work, as long as it contains the live and active cultures.

I like to use plain so that I can flavor it myself, but flavored yogurt will work as well!

Now let’s make some yogurt!


Homemade Greek Yogurt Recipe 🍨

Ingredients:
6 cups of milk
1/4 cups plain Greek yogurt

Add milk to a pot on medium heat, warming it up to 185°F

Then set the pot in a cold plunge until the milk cools down to about 90 to 100°F

Add the cooled pot of milk to a warmed, but turned off and unplugged crockpot.

Then add about 3 tablespoons of your yogurt into the crockpot, mixing it well.

Wrap the crockpot in a towel and leave it undisturbed on the counter for nine hours. (8-10 hours works)

After nine hours grab a bowl, set a strainer inside the bowl and a cheese cloth (folded a few times) into the strainer.

Pour the regular yogurt from the crockpot into the cheesecloth, then set the strainer and bowl in the refrigerator for another nine hours to strain the liquid out (which increases the protein content and removes the whey).

After nine hours, pour your strained yogurt back into a yogurt container and now you have your very own, thick and creamy, homemade Greek yogurt 🍨✨

*Straining the yogurt takes it from regular to Greek yogurt

**Once you strain it, your yogurt will have about double the protein content per serving of the milk you use
