YOGURT AND OTHER "COOL" GOODIES
High cultured yogurts have been known to heal the intestines by
balancing the bacterial flora and improving digestion which in turn
improves absorption of nutrients.
The yogurt should be made from whole milk, skim milk, half & half, or a
mix of any of these. It should not be made with lactose-free milk, as
there will not be enough milk sugar (lactose) to multiply the good
bacteria. When fermenting the milk for 24 hours, the bacteria will eat
the sugar, multiply, and give you a lactose-free yogurt. To make a very
creamy frozen yogurt, make the yogurt with whipping cream. Do not use
carageenan and gums to thicken, as these play havoc with the digestive
system.
Pouring the liquid off the yogurt each time you open the container will
take out some of the bitter taste if you like a less tart taste. Also,
the Yogourmet starter makes a better tasting yogurt than others. I
started out using 2 tablespoons honey but after I cultivated my taste
for yogurt, decreased the honey to 1 tablespoon or less depending on
which fruit I use.
I have one of those stick mixer/chopper things by Braun that takes just
3-4 seconds to mix, and mix right in the glass I'm going to drink from .
. soooo easy! Instructions for making lactose-free yogurt is in the
book, BREAKING THE VICIOUS CYCLE. Order BTVC, Lucy's Cookbook,

====================================================
Banana/fruit Smoothie
1 cup of 24-hr. lactose-free yogurt
1 banana
1/2 - 1 cup of frozen or fresh fruit of choice
Honey to suit your taste
Dash of salt (optional)
1/2 teaspoon alcohol-free vanilla extract
(Whenever you come across organic bananas, buy bunches and bring them
home to ripen until they're almost dead (have less sugar). Then, when
they're so ripe as to be nearly inedible, peel and freeze. You'll have
a constant supply ready to grab from the freezer and throw into the
blender w/ yogurt, honey, and ice cubes.)

Butter Pecan Frozen Yogurt

Blend well, freeze in an ice cream maker.
Meanwhile, toast in the oven 3/4 C pecans broken into small pieces and
then cool (I stuck them in the freezer for about 1/2 hour so they
wouldn't melt the ice cream). When ice cream is done, stir in the
pecans.
