Yogurt
 
So yogurt has good bacteria or something, right? Does freezing regular yogurt affect the bacteria any?

Hi, Onderchick. According to the Stonyfield Farms website:

"[t]he cultures become dormant when frozen, but once thawed either in the refrigerator or by your body heat when ingested; they will become live and active once again."

P.S. Not that you asked, but if you are looking for an amazing yogurt, try Greek yogurt. Stonyfield Farms makes a good one (called Oikos), but my favorite is Fage 0% (non-fat, plain Greek yogurt). 9 oz has 90 calories and has 15 grams of protein. I add a bit of honey or agave nectar to mine. I eat it every single day and am absolutely addicted.

Cheers,

What??? How do you freeze yogurt? What is the consistency like? How do you eat it, and can you put toppings on it like honey and fruit?

I spent a summer eating all my yogurt frozen once... was living in a dorm room with a mini-"fridge" that froze EVERYTHING even on the warmest setting. I loved it!

Also, that's good to know about the bacteria. I know some bacteria recover from freezing better than others (I'm a biochemist, I freeze bacteria in the lab all the time!) but I never thought about the ones in yogurt.
