Kefir

I love kefir its is so good for you and has so many health benefits. Kefir is a powerful probiotic made by fermenting raw milk. It is abundant in beneficial yeast and bacteria. It has proven to give superior health benefits if consumed on a regular basis. It contains essential amino acids and is extremely high in protein. The protein is kefir is easily digested and is easy utilised in the body.

 Kefir is rich in Vitamin B12, B1, and Vitamin K. It is an excellent source of biotin, a B Vitamin which aids the body’s assimilation of other B Vitamins, such as folic acid, pantothenic acid, and B12. A diet high in B vitamins are essential for regulation of the kidneys, liver and nervous system to increase energy levels and promote a long and healthy life.

The taste is quite tangy but you will get use to it. It can then be used in smoothies, drunk on its own and a topping for fruits. Because of its high protein content it has be consumed after a workout. With so many health benefits you will wonder how you survived without it. 

What you need to do is find kefir grains from a health food shop or you can order them online. If you have a friend who is already making kefir im sure they will give you some as these little things grow very fast. The grains look like soft cauliflower and will grow as you use them. 

You then place the grains in a jar

Make sure to use raw milk as it has not been pasteurised or homogenised thereofre the kefir grain can thrive from the bacteria. Pour the milk over the grains and let it ferment overnight. In the morning its ready to use for your breakfast.
