I have lots of whey from making homemade Greek yogurt. Since I use skim milk to have fat free yogurt, the whey should also be fat free. How can I use this in THM recipes and what are the health benefits, if any??

The whey is the carbohydrate. I'm not sure how much is in a cup. You could drink it with an E meal. It has tons of benefits. I've used it to soak my hair, my scalp is flakey sometimes so I'm going to try it often to see of it helps. I've also had a bath in it. I add a whole gallon whey to hot water and soak 20 mins. I'd love to hear more suggestions. .

You can use a bit in ferments if you make them and it is great in kiddos smoothies since it has some good bacteria, but is liquid carbs
