To burn it off
Ayran is yoghurt mixed with water and a pinch of salt. In Turkey it comes with kebab, lahmacun and pide, in a glass or a sealed cup, often with a foamy top.
A glass is 85 kcal, with 5 g of protein, 7 g of carbs and 4 g of fat. Watering down the yoghurt is what keeps it this light.
It's one of the lightest things you can drink with a kebab. The salt is part of the point, it goes well with grilled meat.
Tips
- 1Have it instead of a soft drink with your kebab.
- 2Make it at home with plain yoghurt, cold water and salt.
- 3Use low fat yoghurt if you drink it every day.
