Yocheese
1 qt container plain yogurt make sure it doesn'thave gelatin in it or it won't work.
Line a strainer with a coffee filter
Dump yogurt into coffee fliter strainer, let drain about 3 - 4 hours. what is left in the strainer is yocheese. the liquid in the bowl is whey. I don't throw the liquid away is is loaded with protein I use the liquid in smoothies in place of milk.
Now that sounds like a good idea!! I will ask my nutritionist on Monday exactly how much protein is in that whey so I can add it to my days protein intake.
I have heard that greek yogurt is a good source of protein too. I have no tried that but I am sure willing.
The one thing that I need to do differently is to get rid of the Pepsi One out of my diet. That is not a good thing to be drinking but I do love soda. Bad Missy! :D

That is what yochees is greek yogurt it is soooooooooooo thick and creamy almost the consistancy of ice cream. Could you post the answer to the protein in whey if you are able to find out? Or calories? If you look at a package of protein powder which is so expensive the main ingredents is whey. My feeling is why should I pay soooo much for protein powder when I could make my own and reap the benefits of yocheese(greek yogurt) By the way I make my own yogurt so I know exactly what I am getting.
Did you know diet anything soda ect is bad for you because even though it has no calories your body still sees it as sugar and stores it as sugar making it harder to lose weight.
