About


I like smoothies, you like smoothies, everybody loves smoothies, right?
A few days ago, I wanted a simple yet healthy breakfast but I didn't want to make muesli. So I made a breakfast in a smoothie. I made this: it is a drinkable breakfast! It is a power smoothie!
What is Kefir?
Kefir is a fermented milk drink that originates in the Caucasus region. It is prepared by inoculating cow, goat or sheep's milk with kefir grains.
One can change the nutrient content by simply fermenting for shorter or longer periods. Both stages have different health benefits.
Kefir health benefits:
Kefir, over-ripened ( which increases the sour taste ) significantly increases the folic acid content.
Kefir, also helps the lactose - intolerant people, in lactose digestion. It works as a catalyst, making it more digestable then other dairy products. It really works for me, because I am lactose intolerant in high doses of lactose.
Kefir has evidence that it lowers the blood pressure.
It also reduces cholesterol levels.
So, kefir is good for you,...
I buy it in my food health shop. It only contains 1.5 % fat.You also can buy kefir in supermarkets but beware: they will contain cream!
How to use?
I make smoothies with it
pour it on grains & cereales
mix it with blueberries, strawberries, mix it with other fruit,etc.
you can use it in desserts, I replace buttermilk for kefir. I use it in cakes, muffins & banana breads.
