It's such a wonderful season, with an abundance of freshly available fruits that pair perfectly with homemade plain yogurt. The combination of the sweet, luscious mango and the refreshing yogurt brings a delightful coolness to the early summer.

Let's take a look at the ingredients and steps to make a delicious mango yogurt cup:

Ingredients:

800g of fresh milk

One sachet of yogurt bacteria

One mango

Steps to make Mango Yogurt Cup:

1.Start by scalding the inner bucket of the yogurt machine with boiling water. This helps ensure cleanliness. Then, pour 800g of fresh milk into the bucket.

2.Open a small packet of frozen yogurt bacteria and add it to the milk.

3.Stir the milk and bacteria mixture thoroughly using a clean spoon.

4.To ensure even heating of the milk, you can place the scalded hot water from the bucket into the yogurt maker liner. This will help accelerate fermentation. Cover the inner and outer lids of the yogurt machine, turn on the electricity, and start the heating process.

After a few hours, you will have smooth and delicate plain yogurt.

5.To enhance its taste and nutritional value, cover the yogurt and refrigerate it for a few more hours.

6.Once chilled, take an appropriate amount of yogurt and place it into a cup.

7.Wash the mango, split it in two, and easily remove the fruit flesh from the skin.

8.Cut the mango into small pieces and add them to the yogurt in the cup.

9.Mix the mango pieces with the yogurt, creating a beautiful and nutritious yogurt cup.

A small packet of yogurt bacteria powder can make 1 liter of yogurt. You can adjust the amount of fresh milk according to your desired quantity. Remember to keep the yogurt bacteria powder frozen until use, and mix it well with the milk.

To prevent contamination, ensure that the inner barrel and lid of the yogurt machine are scalded clean with hot water.

After making the yogurt, it is important to refrigerate it for a few hours before consumption. This helps improve its taste and preserves its nutritional value.

Yogurt can be enjoyed not only on its own but also paired with bread, cookies, and other foods. Contrary to popular belief, not all cookies are high in fat and calories. You can make low-fat cookies using dried fruits and oats, creating a delicious and healthier dessert. Small date cookies offer a natural sweetness, while cherry oats provide a delightful and nutritious option.

While yogurt is a good source of calcium and probiotics, it may not be suitable for everyone. People with frequent diarrhea or gastrointestinal diseases should exercise caution. Diabetic patients should avoid yogurt with sucrose and opt for sugar-free or xylitol-based yogurt instead.

Lastly, it is important to remember not to consume yogurt on an empty stomach. The human body relies on gastric acid to digest food. When the stomach is empty, the acidity level is high, with a pH value lower than 2.

Consuming yogurt in this state can significantly increase the acidity of gastric juice, leading to stomach pain, indigestion, and a decrease in appetite. This is especially true for individuals with sensitive stomachs, as consuming yogurt on an empty stomach can overload the digestive system and result in diarrhea.

Enjoy the delightful combination of mango and yogurt in a refreshing cup, and savor the flavors of the season while keeping your health in mind.
