Have you tried kefir before? Kefir is a cultured milk product that is similar to yogurt and has the same probiotic benefits of yogurt. It’s a bit sweeter than yogurt and slightly tart– the flavor is like a combination of yogurt and buttermilk. I’ve been on a kefir binge lately, my local super market carries different brands and types, both plain and flavored. The flavored versions are SO delicious but contain quite a lot of sugar, so lately, I’ve been buying the plain unsweetened kind and adding my own natural sweeteners. I also love adding granola for some texture. This stuff is seriously better than your typical parfait and if you’re looking to change up your breakfast routine, make this kefir bowl!

I love those gorgeous swirls! Haven’t had kefir in forever.
I have a lot of questions. Where do you get your Kefir or do you make your own or are you adding some kind of packet to milk? How thick is it (like yogurt?)? What does it taste similar to? Could you provide a link if you buy it online? I have been wanting to try this for stomach health. Make a video, please. Pat S
Just had one this morning, so easy!
