Podcast Episode 238: L. Reuteri and Kefir Cottage Cheese

I love to teach people to make probiotic cottage cheese with Yogurt Plus, L reuteri, or kefir. I can even teach you how to make cottage cheese ice cream that is probiotic too! Tune in to learn how fun and easy it is to make and feed those microbes in your gut!

I can't believe this has so many views but so few likes in comparison! Thank you for all the wonderful info and tidbits. I really appreciate how you link to the recipes for me to look at and attempt later, when i can't while listening because I'm driving.
Thank you for your time!

Thanks Donna, I look forward to your Monday podcasts! I never liked cottage cheese as a child, either. For some reason though, last year at the age of 59 I decided to try some. I've been hooked ever since! I've been eating a little bit almost every day now. I get the Good Culture brand, or Nancy's also has an organic probiotic cottage cheese. They are both good, so I get the one on sale that week.
I should try my hand at making my own, it probably would be cheaper 😊

Can you mix kefir and l reuteri. You said "or" si Im wondering if a little of "both" can be used. Thanx

[binathere]

I accidentally made cottage cheese it was delicious

[janetchristensen]

Sounds great! Can you use a SIBO YOGURT TO MAKE IT as well? Or just L Rueteri?

"Hello! I recently attempted to make cottage cheese using L. Reuteri yogurt for the first time. It fermented at room temperature for 40 hours because I didn't notice any curd formation after 24 hours. However, when I opened the lid, it emitted a sour milk smell. Is it normal for cottage cheese to smell sour before cooking? After cooking, I did obtain curds, but upon sampling, the cheese still had a bad milk smell😅, making me hesitant to consume it. Could you offer any advice on what might have gone awry?"

[piperniemann]

If I put my L.Reuteri in my high-speed blender, will it kill it?

[jenniferhill]

So heat to 80, set 24 hours with lid, then heat again ?

[tatteredangel]

You said to let the yogurt sit for 24 hours that you got to 80 degrees. Then you said " the very next day bring the mixture to 100 degrees." That is confusing...the very next day from what? the 24 hour wait? Or ???

This didn’t work for me, waste of milk and yogurt going to try turning it into kefir rather than waste it😭 I went to your website and followed instructions carefully didn’t work for me

[tatteredangel]

If youre using pasteurized milk and not ultrapasteurized, why dont you need to heat the milk to 180°? Thanx 😊

You talk too much about everything. Get to the point! PLEASE I don't have time to sit around and hear a bunch of extra info. I mean it is appreciated most times but maybe do one with extras and one that is just to the point please!
