Homemade Yogurt: What to do with that whey
I just started making homemade yogurt again, but this time using my Instant Pot pressure cooker. Awesome! I can use a gallon of milk now, and the IP makes the process crazy easy. But that also means I now have a lot of whey every week, and it is a shame to throw out all that good protein. I had forgotten until I saw a post on the IP forum, that you can turn the whey very easily into ricotta. Bring it to a boil. Turn off the heat. Don't stir. Let it cool down then strain. The ricotta clumps, and you strain of the whey in the same manner as you strain yogurt. Nice!
Here is a link with step by step instructions with pics.

No idea. I was thinking about using it to soak my beans, but ran into the same unknown amount of calories/protein.

Most of the protein stays with the dairy solids which is why greek yogurt is so high in it. It's still there, but its not a huge amount, probably.
I follow a ketogenic diet post-op. I also have a diagnosis of binge eating disorder. Feel free to ask me about either!

Happyteacher you are like a IP crack dealer! I no sooner got done reading this post then I flipped over to FB and there a friend had JUST posted a picture of her IP!
