Ingredients (5)
- Skim Milk (safe) — Real dairy base, fine.
- whole milk (safe) — Minimally processed dairy: complete protein, calcium, B12. The catch is saturated fat — about 4.5g per cup at whole-fat level.
- cream (safe) — Real dairy adds richness.
- Sea Salt (moderate) — Sodium source; no nutritional edge over regular salt.
- Live and active cultures (Lactococcus, Lactobacillus) (safe) — Beneficial probiotic bacteria that ferment the milk and support gut health.
