Creamy, tangy, and packed with probiotics, kefir has built a loyal fan base.
Whereas, store-bought kefir skips the 24-hour fermentation process.
What is kefir?
Kefir is a fermented milk drink with a light, yogurt-like texture.
Kefir is packed with beneficial bacteria that can help maintain a balanced microbiome.
So the proof is in the (kefir) pudding.
In addition to its gut health benefits, kefir is also rich in nutrients.
Since kefir is dairy-based, it unfortunately isn’t suitable for those following a plant-based diet.
However, McAllister recommends other naturally fermented products, like sauerkraut, kimchi and miso.
I quickly discovered that it was a winning breakfast combo.
But now, I was locking myself in for a month of kefir every day.
I find kefir to be very similar to yogurt but with a more distinctive tart flavor.
Spoiler alert: I didnt justdrinkkefir for the month.
I started mixing it into my overnight oats, and it was a game-changer.
The kefir blended smoothly and added tang and richness to my oats.
I even found recipes that incorporate kefir into pancakes and chia seed puddings.
Plus, I’ve rattled my flatmates by hogging all the fridge space with bottles and bottles of kefir.
Ill definitely be keeping this ingredient in my diet.
Now, Im on the lookout for the next gut-friendly food to incorporate into my diet.
