How I make Kefir; 10x healthier than Greek yogurt

Our guts need microbes to keep us healthy and fermented foods like kefir are full of these.
Microbes act like mini pharmacies to regulate the chemicals and hormones in our body.
Kefir is made by fermenting milk with kefir grains, which you can buy from Amazon or other websites selling health foods.
Kefir is very similar to Greek yogurt and has 10x more live cultures, bacteria and microbes compared to Greek yogurt so is super healthy and helps to feed and diversify your gut microbiome.
Kefir can be enjoyed as part of a healthy, balanced diet in a smoothie or as a snack with fruits, nuts and seeds.

Awesome! I am just starting my fermenting journey and your video was very helpful and informative.
Great job!

I like to see your expression when tasting kefir. It reminded me first time i tasted it was like a shockwave sending through my body lol. Good job 👍

Good, very clear video, thank you 👍🤓

I’m going to have a go at this. I thought it would be more difficult than this, thank you.

[@MattyBsLifeSkills]

No problem, glad to be of service. Yeah, the only hard part is buying the grains and the equipment like glass jars, funnels and sieves. Don't worry if it's not perfect first time. Took me 3 or 4 goes to get it right.

I’ve just ordered my kefir grains, hopefully will get them tomorrow.

[@MattyBsLifeSkills]

Well done Shelley, you will not regret it. It took me 3 or 4 goes to get the right consistency with my kefir so don't worry if it doesn't work first time.

Thanks Matty - I buy kefir at the moment- I will have a go.

[@MattyBsLifeSkills]

That's amazing, glad I could help you to start making your own. Trouble with store bought kefir, it may have preservatives, which will reduce the benefits unless it's a pure, organic kefir. I guarantee you'll taste the difference when you make your own. It'll taste really sour so I highly recommend you put a slice of orange in to reduce the sourness. Don't worry if it's not perfect first time. Took me 3 or 4 attempts to get it right.

[@simonwhite4330]

How fast do the grains grow? Thanks for the great content.

[@MattyBsLifeSkills]

As long as you keep giving them fresh milk to feed on, your grains will double in size and quantity in around 4-6 months. Only bad thing with this is you'll get less kefir cause there are more grains having all the milk. So might be worth giving some to a friend or family member after the grains have multiplied.

[@CuidesecomElzaReis]

Eu amo kefir❤

[@jasonmarkbaxter2421]

awesome video

[@juliaalenakraus8842]

Which fruits could you use other than a slice of orange?

[@MattyBsLifeSkills]

You can use pretty much any fruit as they all contain fructose that the kefir will feed off and the natural sugars in the fruits will sweeten it. You could also use vanilla extract.

[@simonacousino82]

if you use non dairy milk with milk kefir grains , what do the grains feed on? ( if with regular milk, they feed on lactose)

[@andreherrmannofficial]

They die. For non dairy you have to use water kefir crystals i guess.

[@ewilner]

Will this work with water kefir which I found on amazon. Fermentaholics ORGANIC Water Kefir

[@user-od5we4ih7o]

They are different grains

[@MattyBsLifeSkills]

Those are different grains but water kefir is a great alternative to milk kefir if you're lactose intolerant or vegan.

[@hpvspeedmachine4183]

Why not just mixing kefir and milk?

[@MattyBsLifeSkills]

You could do that to keep your kefir from over fermenting but you need kefir grains or a starter culture to make kefir.

[@deniselockett290]

Never use any metal utensils when making kefir. Always use a plastic strainer and a wood or plastic spoon for stiring.

[@sharonhoffer3599]

Stainless steel is OK, just not aluminium 😊
