Caramel Yogurt

The yogurt is a light caramel and digestive dessert. It is also ideal as a healthy snack. Although the fermentation process is somewhat long, the preparation itself is not complicated at all. In addition, it is a recipe in which children can participate. You just have to be careful that they don’t burn if it was made with homemade caramel.

Thanks to the bacteria that help to ferment it, caramel yogurt is ideal for digestion. It happens that its bacteria are the same that the human body needs to digest the substances that it cannot assimilate naturally. In addition, being a dairy product, it provides the calcium that the human body needs to strengthen bone structures. In this article, we will teach you how to prepare it.
