How to Make Progurt (Probiotic Yogurt*)
Servings: 4 cups (8 1/2-cup servings)** Prep Time: 10 minutes
Preparation - You will need:
IMPORTANT: Keep all your materials -- utensils, everything -- out of the way of sources of surface or air contamination, including dish towels, countertops, fans, and heating/cooling vents. This includes resting any stirring utensils on a clean surface during the mixing process.
Step 1: Make sure your bowl or other vessel is clean. Wash with hot soap and water and allow
to AIR DRY, to avoid contamination with a used dish towel.
Step 2a: Thoroughly mix 2 level tablespoons of inulin with 2-4 tablespoons of goat milk (ideally
warmed to 80-100 degrees, this helps the inulin dissolve more easily), until there are no
clumps. Then add the rest of the goat milk and stir thoroughly.
Step 2b: Heat to 190 degrees F (90 degrees C) for 20 minutes, to kill any bacteria and denature the
proteins, which creates a thicker final product (which you will want, when using goat milk).
Step 2: Add 2 level tablespoons of prebiotic fiber.
Step 3: Add probiotic starter. IF DRY STARTER, mix with the prebiotic fiber. IF WET, go to Step 4.
Step 4: Add ~2 tablespoons of your choice of dairy or other liquid. Make a slurry by stirring well,
to fully dissolve any clumps of prebiotic fiber.
Step 5: Stir in remainder of liquid and stir well.
Step 6: Cover lightly with plastic wrap, lid, or other means. Ferment by maintaining at
106 degrees F for 36 hours. (NOTE: Do not exceed 109 degrees or you'll likely kill any
L. reuteri in your mix.)
This prolonged fermentation in the presence of prebiotic fibers yields bacterial
counts in the 100s of Billions per serving (hundreds of times higher than commercial
products that typically contain about 1.23 billion CFUs per 1/2 cup of unidentified
strains of non-keystone probiotics* with unimpressive effects verified by research).
The end-result for is rich, thick, and more delicious — and with astronomically higher probiotic bacterial counts—than anything you can buy in a store. Once refrigerated, the progurt is so thick that it can stand upright on a plate.
Serve with fresh or frozen berries or inulin if you prefer some sweetness, or grainless granola.
* "Yogurt" is legally defined by the FDA, and must contain, cream, milk, partially skimmed mil, skim milk or the reconstituted version of any of these. of the basic dairy ingredients with a characterizing bacterial culture that contains the lactic acid-producing bacteria, Lactobacillus delbrueckii subsp. bulgaricus and Streptococcus thermophilus. It must contain at least 3.25 percent milkfat, except as provided for in paragraph (g) of this section, and not less than 8.25 percent milk solids not fat and has a pH of 4.6 or lower measured on the finished product within 24 hours after filling. To extend the shelf life of the food, yogurt may be treated after culturing to inactivate viable microorganisms.
How Our Broken Toes Sabotage Relationships
(and everything else, too)
This 7-minute video will explain a lot.
It's happened to all of us.
We're interacting with someone (maybe even just ourselves), and one minute, everything is fine.
But suddenly the next minute, something has definitely, suddenly gone very wrong.
Something is suddenly upsetting in some way or another, to somebody. (Maybe to them. Maybe to us. Maybe to both.)
It's these moments that make "life with humans" so confusing, painful, and disruptive sometimes.
These are pivotal moments, when it's essential to understand what's going on, and know how to wisely, skillfully navigate what happens next.
Because in these moments, what we do next has the power to literally change everything.
For better or worse.
If you want to understand what's at the heart of everything that doesn't work about human beings, from our broken personal connections to deadly global armed conflicts ...
If you want to make a real difference for yourself, for those you care about, and for humanity as a whole ...
This 7-minute video reveals what's REALLY going on in those pivotal moments, and instantly opens up profound new possibilities for respect, understanding, healing, and peace in our connections with others (and ourselves) -- at home, at work, in our communities, and across the globe.
Come discover what's possible, when -- with gentle humor and shared humanity -- you can finally see what's really going on between you and other people ... or even within yourself.
(Don't worry -- we're all dealing with the same stuff. Because it's all part of our "factory-installed" humanity.)
