If your yogurt has expired, don't throw it away
1. Serve with coffee
If you've run out of coffee creamer, there's a great way to replace it with yogurt. This not only makes your coffee taste better, but it also saves you money.
Here's a fact you may not know: in Hanoi, the habit of adding yogurt to coffee has been around for a long time. This yogurt coffee drink is not strange or new.
2. Make fresh cream
Combine expired yogurt with a little heavy cream, and you've created a unique, cool, and refreshing yogurt ice cream that's perfect for summer. Try this recipe.
3. Combine with baked goods
It's true that yogurt is a great substitute for butter. The fat ratio of butter and yogurt is quite similar. Therefore, if a baking recipe calls for 1/2 cup of butter, you can use 1/2 cup of yogurt instead.
4. Make pasta more delicious
It may sound strange, but Italians have long used yogurt in their world-famous pasta. Add a little yogurt to your regular pasta recipe to enhance the flavor and it might be surprisingly delicious.
5. Spread on bread
If you are bored with eating bread, why not try changing the taste by spreading yogurt instead of regular butter. Butter never expires, so using expired yogurt is a smart choice.
6. Make salad dressing
Store-bought and supermarket dressings are often not really good for your health because of the preservatives in these products.
Instead, using yogurt to make dressing is both good for your health and saves you money.
To make yogurt salad dressing, just mix unsweetened yogurt, lemon juice, olive oil, honey, salt, and pepper together.
7. Marinate meat with yogurt
Yogurt is an extremely perfect ingredient for marinating meat, but few people know about it.
More than regular lemon juice, yogurt softens the meat fibers without breaking the texture of the meat, keeping the meat's inherent freshness.
