Instant Pot Greek Yogurt Recipe
Description
Greek yogurt is a delicious and nutritious treat that is enjoyed by people of all ages. It is thick, creamy, and has a tart, tangy flavor that makes it a great addition to smoothies, parfaits, and other recipes. Greek yogurt is made by straining regular yogurt to remove some of the whey and lactose, leaving behind a thicker, creamier yogurt that has twice the protein of regular yogurt. This Instant Pot Greek Yogurt recipe is a great way to make your own Greek yogurt at home with the help of your Instant Pot.
