A World of Yogurt A LOOK AT 3 If you walk down the yogurt aisle of any store today, you’ll see more varieties than ever before:
Skyr , often referred to as Icelandic yogurt, has a lot in common with Greek yogurt in terms of consistency and protein content, but it’s actually not a yogurt at all. It’s a cultured dairy product classified as “fresh sour milk cheese.” But don’t let that put you off. It’s thick, smooth, packed with nutrients and probiotics, and lower in sugar than traditional yogurt. Skyr is most commonly made with skim or low-fat milk, but since it has gained global popularity, you can find varieties made with 2% and whole milk, too. Yogurt (dairy and nondairy) is a rich source of gut-healthy probiotics, and while there are some differences in terms of texture, flavor, and nutritional content, any of these three types are a great choice for your diet.
as well as fewer ingredients overall. A high- quality Greek yogurt will typically only have 3–4 ingredients: milk, live active cultures, and any flavorings (vanilla, honey, fruit, etc.). If you see any fillers like corn starch or corn syrup listed on the ingredients label, it’s probably not the real deal. Australian yogurt (or Aussie yoghurt) is newer to most stores, and one of the biggest brands in the U.S. is Noosa. Because it’s typically made with whole milk, it’s rich and creamy — you won’t be saving any calories here. It’s not quite as thick as Greek yogurt, but it’s not runny either. It’s often described as silky smooth and sweeter than other varieties of yogurt, thanks in part to the whole milk. Honey and fruit mix in exceptionally well, and like Greek yogurt, this variety is packed with protein.
Greek, Australian, Icelandic, whipped, and probiotic-packed — not to mention yogurts made with soy, coconut, and almond milks. And, of course, you have all the classic yogurt brands and tons of flavors to choose from. But what’s the difference between all of these yogurt varieties? What sets Greek apart from Australian? What is unique about Icelandic (Skyr)? We’ve gone ahead and broken it down for you. Greek yogurt is one of the more common varieties on the market. It’s typically a thicker consistency with roughly double the protein of traditional, strained yogurts. Most brands of Greek yogurt have less sugar and fewer carbs,

What Is a Flex Shaft Drain Cleaner?
In the past, the best way to clear a clogged drain was with a cable machine. Cable machines are still very effective but not against roots. The cable cutter head will clear a passage through the roots and clear the drain, but it will not completely cut out all the roots. Once the line is clear, a camera can be inserted in the sewer drain and can pinpoint the exact location and depth of a cracked or broken pipe. The customer can see the problem and decide whether to have the pipes dug up and repaired or schedule regular appointments for drain cleaning to keep it from backing up. Now we have a Flex Shaft drain cleaner. The woven steel wire shaft spins at 2,000 rpm inside a protective sheath. The cutting head is made of chain links that will spin outward to the inside diameter of the pipe. Spinning at 2,000 rpm, the chain-link head shreds roots completely from the pipe. Plus, our camera can be in the drainpipe at the same time, recording the action in real time.
If you have a broken or cracked pipe, roots will grow back in no matter what. But if we can clean your drain with our Flex Shaft machine, the roots will be thoroughly cut out, and you can go longer between cleanings — saving you money. Nobody thinks they have a problem with their drains until they’re suddenly blocked up. Your drain problem actually started some time ago, and the culmination of the problem is the blockage. For the next 60 days, we will offer a free video inspection with every drain cleaning. So, even if you’ve never had a clogged drain, taking advantage of this offer is a no-brainer.
