1. Drink yogurt all over the world In parts of the world where yogurt is traditionally made, a variety of different yogurt drinks are often available. Although each language can have its own name for a certain yoghurt drink, the composition of this yoghurt drink changes very little from country to country. Normally, yogurt drinks are prepared to be either salty or sweet. It may contain herbs, spices, or fruits.

1. One of the most common types of the many yogurt drinks we see around the world is a product made from yogurt, water and salt. It is called ayran in Turkey. Turkey is thought to be the country where yogurt originated. This yogurt drink is popular all over the Middle East, North Africa and parts of West Asia. There are many different names for this drink, it is also known as Dhalla or Dugh. This drink is made by mixing salt, water and yogurt together until the mixture is finally thin enough to drink.

1. Other varieties of yogurt drink use sugar instead of salt. Fresh or dried fruit is often used in this drinking yogurt to increase the sweetness of the drinking yogurt. Lassi is a popular variety that we often encounter in Pakistan and India. Many different countries in Europe and America also produce similar sweet yogurt drinks. Like the salty yoghurt drink, these alternatives are often diluted with water.

1. In some parts of the world, even simpler versions of drinking yoghurt are being made. Here they only use water and yogurt. Sometimes milk is used instead of water to make the yogurt thinner. This maintains the strong aroma of this fermented dairy product.

1. Drinkable fruit flavored yogurt can also be made with fruit juice instead of water or a mixture of both. Drinkable yogurt can also be made with carbonated water instead of still water. This makes it a kind of yogurt soft drink.

1. In some parts of the world we can better call the yoghurt drink variant yoghurt smoothies. These yogurt drinking variations are often a bit thicker than the traditional types of yogurt drinking. However, they can still be drunk.

1. Often yogurt smoothies are made fresh with a blender by mixing the yogurt, fruit and other ingredients. Ice can be added to fresh yogurt smoothies to make things colder and thicker.

1. All kinds of different herbs, spices and fruits can be added to drinking yoghurt. Mango and mint are popular flavors in India and the Middle East, while North American yogurt drink is often flavored with mixed berries or peaches.

1. Spices such as cinnamon, cumin, or chili peppers can also be added to yogurt drinks to add even more variety.

1. Turkey is known culinary for a few different foods and drinks. Outside of the country itself, Turkish coffee and rakÄ ± (or raki as many people say) is probably the most famous drink. Ayran is very popular in Turkey.

1. Although less popular, we find kefir in the same family of fermented drinks. While ayran is usually thought of as a drink to accompany meals, kefir is particularly popular for its nutritional value and health benefits.

1. Yogurt is the result of the bacterial fermentation of milk. Although the exact origin may be unclear, it is likely that the first cultured yogurt was accidentally discovered because of the random fermentation of wild bacteria that lived in animal skins. The word itself is derived from the Turkish word "yoÄŸurt".]

1. The Turks are not only responsible for the word yogurt, for this sour thickened milk, but they are also probably responsible for its introduction into European cuisine. Süleyman the Great is said to be he sent his personal physician to Francis I in France to cure the incurable stomach ailment that Francis I suffered. The final cure - of course - came from yogurt.

1. Ayran is a mixture of yoghurt, water and salt. The thickness can vary, some places in Turkey (mainly in the south) prefer to make ayran slightly firmer. Most manufacturers add about 1 percent salt - about 1 gram per 100 milliliters of liquid. Unsalted versions are available and can be easily prepared at home. Ayran is the perfect accompaniment to, döner kebab, lahmacun (very thin, flat pizza), gözleme (hearty flat, puff pastry) pide (thicker crust pizzas) and börek (savory pastries).

1. The potential health benefits attributed to the bacteria in yogurt are related to the traditional spontaneously fermented milk. So these are not acidified with standard bacteria that are used today in the production of commercial ayran.

1. Ayran which is sold in sealed plastic and cups is unlikely to provide the desired stomach assistance. Not all bacteria present will survive the human body's internal environment.

1. Kefir, another fermented milk product, is gaining popularity especially in Turkey and other Central Asian countries for the same health reasons. As with yogurt, the Turkish language has given the name for this tart, sometimes foamy and thick liquid. Keyif, the Turkish word for "good feeling" is the basis of this increasingly popular drink.

1. One of the advantages of both ayran and kefir is the fact that during the fermentation the natural sugars within milk (lactose) are broken down and used as food for the bacteria. This makes the processing of these drinks much easier than with the predecessor, milk. The other nutritional benefits are the abundant minerals, calcium, potassium, phosphorus, magnesium and vitamins riboflavin, B 12, A, K and D.

1. One of the problems with marketing is that when something is popular (or even threatens to become popular) there are people who want to profit from it. This is no different with drinking yoghurt. Most people like yogurt, but prefer it with some sugar or something else. People hear that drinking yogurt is healthy and they give it a try â € “maybe they don't really like it because it is a bit more acidic than they expect, but they don't add sugar because â € œ then itâ € ™ s not healthy anymore â € .

1. Many people ignore drinking yogurt for a while until they see one of the new flavors on the shelves of the supermarket. They try and guess what? It tastes completely different, much sweeter and tastier. People often think that they are healthy, but also notice that the belt does not loosen. On the contrary, sometimes people even gain weight. The reason is that they have not looked closely at the label.

1. Of course drinking yoghurt is naturally healthy, we have enough research showing that it is good for us. However, many manufacturers are trying to get a piece of the pie and supply yoghurt drink with a lot of extra calories, sugars, or fat. It may be a bit tastier, but certainly not healthier for our body.

1. That is why it is always important to look at the back of the label before you buy something healthy such as yoghurt drink. It may be healthy by default, but after it has been processed it may contain as many sugars or calories as a bottle of cola.

1. Buy yogurt drink with a high calcium and protein content. When it comes to calories, fats and sugars, follow the following guidelines:

1. Ultimately, most yogurt drinks are very healthy and a tasty, healthy, and easy way to strengthen our stomach and intestinal flora. However, we still have to pay attention to nutritional values ​​because sometimes there are many hidden sugars in it.
