Enjoy the creamy goodness of yogurt perfectly paired with the satisfying crunch of nuts! This delightful combination offers a nutritious snack or breakfast option, but proper storage is key to preserving its fresh taste and texture.

Storage Time

Consume within 3-5 days of opening for optimal freshness. Unopened, follow the 'best by' date on the packaging.

Temperature

Always store refrigerated at or below 4°C (40°F) to maintain its quality and prevent bacterial growth.

Freezing

While yogurt can be frozen, the texture may change upon thawing, becoming more watery or grainy. To freeze, transfer the yogurt and nuts to an airtight, freezer-safe container, leaving some headspace for expansion. Thaw slowly in the refrigerator overnight before consuming. Stir well after thawing to reintegrate the separated liquid. Freezing may slightly alter the crunch of the nuts.

Signs of Spoilage

• Unpleasant sour or rancid smell.
• Visible mold growth (fuzzy spots of various colors).
• Significant separation of liquid (whey) that doesn't reincorporate with stirring, or a change in texture to a lumpy or slimy consistency.
