Re: Do I kill the probiotic in the yogurt?

[Guest guest]

I wouldn't imagine you would not kill all of the good bacteria- I'm pretty sure

even when you make ice cream there is a still a little benefit (unlike cooking

with high heat where it kills all of it).

However, I am curious to see what others think because I make a smoothie every

morning with frozen bananas and was also wondering just how much of the bacteria

was surviving...

I wondered the same thing, as I LOVE fruit/yogurt smoothies every morning. Just

to play it safe, I now add some water to the smoothie to " warm " up the frozen

blueberries, blend it in, then add the yogurt, so I have a runnier smoothie, and

it's not as ice cold. It gives me peace of mind that more of the good guys

survive.

Or, take out your portion of blueberries and put them in a container in

the dfridge over night so that they defrost. (You could set them out at

room temp while you fix dinner, then put them in the fridge, to be sure

they're defrosted.)

That way, you don't have to water down your yogurt.

I run my blueberries through the microwave on Defrost.. light heat.. just to break the frost off, then put them in with the smoothie..

I too have some form of smoothie every morning and sometimes another at night if supper does not hold me..

Wow, I never thought about that!! I like to make my smoothies with frozen

bananas, frozen fruit, orange juice, and yogurt. And it comes out rather

slushy. So you are saying I am probably not getting any probiotic action from

this kind of smoothie?

Not at all. Just that it was posted that the person was using water

to defrost the berries before adding them and that it wasn't necessary to

have a diluted slushy smoothie if one didn't want to.

If you enjoy using frozen fruit, have fun!

Thats good news I don't kill the probiotics.

I use maybe 1/2 cup yogurt and 1 cup frozen blueberries and mix it with the

imersion blender. It gets just like ice cream

The goat yogurt is so sour that I can't eat it without blueberries..

Yes,it is as close to ice cream I will be doing for a long long time.
