Semi-skimmed yogurt whey is the thin, often tangy liquid that separates from yogurt made with semi-skimmed milk. It is not the same as whey protein powder, which is a concentrated product made from whey.
Yes, you can drink semi-skimmed yogurt whey if it is fresh and has been stored safely. Its tart taste can be strong on its own, so you can dilute it with water or blend it into a smoothie.
No, semi-skimmed yogurt whey is not buttermilk. Yogurt whey drains off yogurt, while traditional buttermilk is the liquid left after churning butter; cultured buttermilk is made by fermenting milk.
Use semi-skimmed yogurt whey in place of some of the liquid in soups, sauces, or batters. Its acidity adds a mild tang, so start by replacing only part of the recipe’s water or stock.
Yes, semi-skimmed yogurt whey can replace some of the water in bread dough. It adds a slightly tangy flavor, but the dough may need small adjustments because whey’s acidity and consistency differ from plain water.
Semi-skimmed yogurt whey separates naturally when yogurt sits, or when it is strained to make a thicker yogurt. Stir it back in for a looser texture, or pour it off and use it in cooking.
Keep semi-skimmed yogurt whey in a clean, sealed container in the refrigerator and use it promptly. Do not leave it at room temperature for extended periods, and discard it if it develops mold or an unpleasant, unusual odor.
Yes, semi-skimmed yogurt whey can be frozen in a sealed, freezer-safe container. Leave room for expansion; after thawing, it may look separated, so stir it before adding it to a recipe.
Yes, semi-skimmed yogurt whey can contain lactose. Fermentation reduces some of the lactose in yogurt but does not necessarily remove it, so people with lactose intolerance may still react to it.
Yes, semi-skimmed yogurt whey works as a tart liquid in smoothies. Blend it with fruit and other ingredients to soften its sharp flavor, and use it while fresh and properly chilled.

Semi-skimmed yogurt whey is the thin, tangy liquid that separates from yogurt made with semi-skimmed milk, either as it stands or when it is strained. It is lighter and more fluid than yogurt, with a gently sour, refreshing taste. Depending on local cooking habits, it can be sipped, stirred into soups, or used in bread and other baking in place of some of the liquid.
It is low in calories and provides calcium and phosphorus, but it is not a concentrated source of protein. If you have some left over, add it to a soup or dough; its tartness works well with mild, savoury ingredients.
Medium
How many vitamins, minerals and how much fiber this food carries per calorie. A high score means a lot of nutrition for few calories.
Medium
An EatBetter score computed from fiber, protein and calorie density. A high score means staying full longer on the same calories.
Both scores are calculated per 100 g and do not change with the selected portion. The satiety score is EatBetter's own calculation, not a clinical measure.
