All yogurt is essentially fermented milk with added cultures. For this reason, yogurt is a great probiotic and can help to improve your gut's microbiome. With more and more research pointing to the importance of gut bacteria, Yogurt is becoming one of the top-selling superfoods. Whey is a byproduct of making yogurt and it occurs to some extent in all dairy yogurt-making processes. In traditional yogurt, the liquid whey is mixed back into the cultured yogurt to form a thinner consistency. Traditional yogurt can be made with skim, 2%, or whole milk. Greek yogurt can also be made with many varieties of milk. But unlike traditional yogurt, all of the whey and excess liquid is strained off. This not only makes the yogurt super thick but also increases the protein content. Whole milk is the only variety used for Australian-style yogurt. This is what gives the yogurt its classic velvety consistency. Australian yogurt is not strained, but due to the use of whole milk, it has a thicker texture compared to traditional yogurt, and a slightly thinner texture compared to Greek yogurt. Australian yogurt is traditionally sweetened with honey but for the purpose of keeping this recipe keto-friendly, the honey was omitted. If you aren't watching your carbs or sugar intake, honey can be added in place of stevia.
