Read on to find our how you can add brewer's yeast to your diet.

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Brewer's yeast
• Vegetable juice
• Popcorn
• Garlic salt
• Soups
• Baked goods
• Ground beef

1. The easiest way to take brewer's yeast is to stir a teaspoonful into a glass of vegetable juice (tomato juice is perfect). Because the supplement has a nutty or cheese-like taste, it works best with non-sweet juices.

2. The most delicious way to use brewer's yeast is by sprinkling it over popcorn. Popcorn brings out the supplement's cheese-like flavor, making it possible to enjoy the popcorn with less added salt or butter. A sprinkle of garlic salt enhances this quality even more.

3. Add up to a tablespoonful of brewer's yeast to soups, either homemade or canned, while you cook them. The flavor will not be noticeable.

4. Add up to a teaspoonful of brewer's yeast to the batter or dough of baked goods, especially any product that will have nuts in it. Peanut butter cookies are a great place to add brewer's yeast.

5. Add a tablespoonful or more of brewer's yeast to ground beef and mix in well before making hamburger patties or meatloaf.
