How to use kefir? We’ve been making kefir in our home for about a year. I first started making kefir to add to our smoothies, but then quickly realized how delicious it is in so many other foods. Here are a few of my favorite ways to enjoy kefir.
- Pancakes – Replace milk with 1/2 kefir and half water in your favorite pancake recipe.
- Biscuits – Replace buttermilk with kefir in your favorite biscuit recipe.
- Smoothies – I usually like to add about 1 cup of kefir to frozen fruit, shredded coconut, and water, then blend. Add more kefir if you enjoy a tangier taste. The best part about using kefir in smoothies is that the kefir stays in its raw form for the greatest health benefits.
- Oatmeal – Once you’ve added all the mix-ins like nuts and fruit to your cooked oatmeal, top it off with a couple of splashes of kefir for a nice creamy oatmeal.
- Kefir cheese – Another great way to enjoy kefir in its raw form is this delicious soft cheese. It’s similar to a cream cheese or ricotta, with a mild flavor. Our favorite way to eat kefir cheese is to spread it on a bagel or toast with jelly.
