Enjoy the tangy goodness of drinkable yogurt, a convenient and nutritious probiotic beverage perfect for breakfast, snacks, or a healthy treat. Proper storage ensures its creamy texture and beneficial live cultures remain at their peak for your enjoyment.
Storage Time
Drinkable yogurt is best consumed within 7-10 days of opening when stored properly in the refrigerator, and can last up to 2 weeks past the 'best by' date if unopened and refrigerated. Freezing is possible for up to 2 months, though texture may change upon thawing.
Temperature
Always keep drinkable yogurt refrigerated at or below 4°C (40°F) to maintain its quality and safety.
Freezing
Yes, you can freeze drinkable yogurt to extend its shelf life. Pour it into freezer-safe containers, leaving some headspace for expansion, or freeze it in ice cube trays for smaller portions. Thaw slowly in the refrigerator overnight. Be aware that the texture may become more watery or separated after freezing and thawing, but it remains safe to consume. Stir well before drinking.
Signs of Spoilage
- An unusually sour or off smell, distinct from its normal tangy aroma.
- Visible mold growth on the surface or around the opening.
- A significant change in texture, such as excessive separation of liquid or a slimy consistency.
