Dry Yogurt (aka Labneh)

Straining yogurt removes whey (liquid lactose + water) leaving a thicker, higher-protein, lower-sugar, probiotic-rich spread.



Why it’s different:

  • ~2x protein by volume

  • Lower lactose (easier to digest)

  • More concentrated probiotics

  • More satiating → better blood sugar response


How to make it:

  • 2 cups full-fat organic plain yogurt

  • ¼ tsp sea salt (optional)

  • (any natural flavoring of choice. We used cacao and vanilla + honey)

  • Stevia to taste if needed


Directions:

  1. Line a strainer with cheesecloth or a paper towel.

  2. Pour in yogurt.

  3. Place a small weight on top (jar or bowl).

  4. Strain in the fridge overnight (12–24 hrs).

  5. And ready to eat! You can store it up to 5 days.


How to use it:

  • savory spread or dip

  • swap for cream cheese or sour cream

  • high-protein snack topped with fruit + nuts


Flavor ideas (optional) to add after straining:

  • berries, figs, or grated apple

  • walnuts, almonds, pistachios

  • cinnamon + vanilla

  • spirulina or matcha

  • collagen or protein powder

  • olive oil + herbs + garlic
