OPEN MOUTH, INSERT KEFIR. Kefir is something I downed throughout 🤰 /post partum because it’s a drinkable (read: FAST) source of protein, probiotics, calcium, Vitamin D, and an excellent base vehicle for #mushymonicameal splendor. Kefir is a fermented dairy product – similar to yogurt but more viscous. It’s ancient AF – it was probably made first in mesopotamia – and yes, it can be made from camel/ 🐑 /any animal that produces milk (no, I will not make you breastmilk kefir. Making it into soap was where I draw the line.)
Kefir can be drank (drunk?) / blended into smoothies / blended into oatmeal / used for overnight oat thickening / used in soups, sauces, dressings, etc. It’s thicccc like Baby Moreno’s rogue Botero 🤚 and thiccc with #probiotics that are a bit different vs. yogurt (and the more diverse probiotics you can eat – the better!) The milk used to make kefir is fermented with a combination of 10 to 20 different types of probiotic bacteria and yeast, but the milk used to make yogurt is only fermented with a few. Kefir also tends to be lactose free, which is great if you have a problem with lactose intolerance (TBH, even if I did, I’d prob still eat lactose, because it would really only be a problem for ~others around you~ – put the sass 💁🏻♀️ in ‘gas’ 🌬) you can also try @foragerproject vegan kefir / @coyo_us coconut yogurt which has a kefir-like consistency
I drink it plain like milk, but you can also layer it with chia seeds + muddled raspberries, let it sit, and top with nut/seed butter for a KEFIR PB + J.
I also lop it onto my oatmeal. and use it instead of milk in smoothies. Do me a flavor favor 😆 and choose plain, please. You can sweeten it to taste with muddled fruit/ 🍯 /date syrup/ 🍁 syrup – if you need. Again, bad kefir betches drink it STR8.
Oh, and you’ve been warned, don’t shake the bottle before opening.
