Ayran is a beloved salty non-fermented yogurt drink native to the Middle East. I fell in love with Ayran in Turkey.

Ayran has a unique savory and sour taste. It contains proteins, probiotics, and electrolytes for hydration. In addition, it contains vitamins (A, & B12), and minerals (Calcium, & Magnesium).

Protein is essential for both muscle growth and repair for strong and healthy bodies.

Probiotics are beneficial bacteria that help boost gut health through increased nutrient absorption from food. Research indicates that probiotics can strengthen the immune system when taken regularly.

Electrolytes are essential for our bodies, regulating fluid balance, the nervous system, and muscle maintenance.

Whip up some Ayran at home using equal amounts of natural yogurt and water. Add a dash of salt.
