414143 Fri Jun 22 14:10:44 -0700 2007 11 27 General Chowhounding Topics 0 2685440 I was looking at this yogurt sundae recipe on Chow where the whey is drained from yogurt http://www.chow.com/recipes/10618 They say the whey could be used to make a drink or curdle milk for some dishes. Since I hate to throw anything away, what else could the whey be used for ... and what kind of drink? Fri Jun 22 14:10:45 -0700 2007 10264 rworange 1 2685487 You could add it to a fruit smoothie. Fri Jun 22 14:21:37 -0700 2007 2685440 76025 mojoeater 1 2685522 I just drink it. Fri Jun 22 14:31:39 -0700 2007 2685440 36661 Sam Fujisaka 2 2686748 does it taste like milk? I hate the taste of milk (makes me gag). do you add anything to it like salt or sugar? Sat Jun 23 06:17:42 -0700 2007 2685522 24546 bitsubeats 3 2686928 Nothing like milk. It carries the sharp taste of yogurt, but is very light over all. I don't add anything. Sat Jun 23 08:15:36 -0700 2007 2686748 36661 Sam Fujisaka 4 2686932 I'll hold you to it. I'm going to try some and if it makes me gag I am holding you responsible (: Sat Jun 23 08:18:05 -0700 2007 2686928 24546 bitsubeats 5 2687249 Deal. Sat Jun 23 10:56:40 -0700 2007 2686932 36661 Sam Fujisaka 1 2685542 You can use it making bread. There is a lot of nutrition in that whey. Fri Jun 22 14:36:32 -0700 2007 2685440 10285 Candy 2 2686700 Yes! I use it instead of the milk/liquid in muffins and quickbreads. Sat Jun 23 04:51:08 -0700 2007 2685542 15687 PamelaD 1 2685548 Not a drink, but Graham Kerr used to talk about just adding it to a pot of beans...apparently the whey and the beans for a complete protein that is easier for the body to digest than either alone. I don't know a ton about this particular thing, but I always trusted Kerr. Fri Jun 22 14:37:59 -0700 2007 2685440 80141 ccbweb 2 2685553 It's because of Kerr that I got some good yogurt strainers to make cheese from my yogurt, and the reason I just drink the whey. I'll try the beans, thank yoiu. Fri Jun 22 14:40:40 -0700 2007 2685548 36661 Sam Fujisaka 3 2685620 In doing some quick reading on the 'net I see several cautions to add the whey after the beans are cooked because whatever interaction takes place will apparently arrest the cooking process. I'll have to expirement a bit. Fri Jun 22 15:05:18 -0700 2007 2685553 80141 ccbweb
