Our body needs to have a healthy amount of ''good'' bacteria in the digestive tract, and many yogurts are made using active, good bacteria. So, it's healthy to eat many yogurts even cups every single day.

Jen, I’m going to write up this post soon. It was actually really easy to make my own yogurt – and man, was it good! 🙂

Nine Naturals Mom, I eat yogurt and fruit pretty much every morning for breakfast, followed by a cup of green tea or decaf organic coffee. I try to have a combination of fruits, but overall, even if it’s just yogurt and a cut-up orange or apple, I find it is a great breakfast. I eat around 8 – 8:30 a.m. and am definitely ready for lunch by noon. Sometimes I have a bit of a power bar as a mid-morning snack, but generally, the yogurt and fruit does it for me.

Kristie, re your compost: I take a break in the winter because everything is so frozen – the compost, the ground, etc. I do have neighbors who compost year round, but their piles are much hotter than mine. My other challenge is that my compost barrel is in the back of my yard, so to get to it I have to trudge through mud and snow in bad weather. I may try a compost bag on my back porch if I can keep it squirrel proof. I tried worm composting, but wasn’t very successful. Good luck!

Do you only eat yogurt for breakfast? Does your energy last until lunch time? Wow, i need to try that and I am excited on how you will be making your own yogurt. It is a challenge for me too to lessen plastic bottles not just in our bathroom but the entire household. I hope I could achieve using less of it.

Well that’s really nice that you eat two cups of yogurt every single day – plain which is non-fat..I must say it is very good for health if it is non fat..I didn’t have any resolution for this year but I try to be good with everyone..

Thank you so much for sharing your personal goals~it’s motivating! With regard to composting, I feel your pain:) I am a very new composter, about 7 months in. I feel like when I dump yard waste, the dry, it breaks down my wet, kitchen scraps, pretty fast. I live in the Midwest and have no idea what I should be doing with my compost bin now??
Warm regards-
Kristie
