What is the difference between kefir and yogurt?

Kefir and yogurt are quite similar, though kefir tends to have more probiotics and a little more fat, calories, calcium, and protein. The biggest difference is in how it's made. Kefir is fermented for up to 18 hours, while yogurt is typically only fermented for up to four hours. Most brands of kefir will have less sugar as well.

Are yogurt drinks meant to be meal replacements?

Yogurt drinks can't replace all of your meals, but they would be okay to replace one meal a day. They're easy to grab on the go, which makes them a great breakfast replacement when you're headed out to work or school. They tend to be high in lean protein and calcium — nutrients you might get from eggs, bacon, sausage, and milk in the morning. They also tend to be lower in calories than these traditional breakfast items, so using them to replace one meal a day might be a good choice for anyone trying to lose weight. Just make sure the drink you choose isn't loaded with sugar.

Does Greek yogurt have more nutrients than regular yogurt?
