After the initial detox phase, a little bit of yogurt is allowed on the therapy. Please check with your practitioner, if it's ok for you to have it.

Put the yogurt in a nut milk bag in a colander over a bowl. Strain it overnight or longer and discard the whey (the clear, slightly yellowish liquid)from the bowl.
The strained yogurt will look something like ricotta cheese or even thicker depending on how much whey is drained. Whisk it well.
