According to Ayurveda, mixing yogurt and fruit can cause digestive issues as they both have different digestion processes (13). Yogurt is a dairy product that’s sour and acidic in nature, while fruits are generally sweet and said to be alkaline, although most fruits actually have an acidic pH.
When they’re mixed together, the dairy and fruit enzymes are believed to counteract each other’s benefits and potentially lead to gas, bloating, and discomfort. It’s recommended to consume yogurt and fruits separately, with a gap of at least 30 minutes in between.
However, yogurt and fruit is a very common combination in many people’s diets and it doesn’t seem to cause any issues.
