In the dreariness of January we sometimes need a cup of sunshine to perk us up. Enter raw kefir smoothies! We cultured our raw goats milk with a kefir culture we purchased at Grains, Beans & Things. After bringing our milk up to room temperature, we inoculated a quart jar of it with our chosen culture and allowed it to sit out on the counter for 48 hours. Our end product was slightly sour and not too thick. I would prefer to make my kefir with kefir grains as opposed to the cultures. If you live in the Southern Oregon area and have extra grains you’d like to share please comment!
So, using the beloved Magic Bullet we blended our kefir with organic strawberries, bananas, chia seeds and a few drops of liquid stevia. Oh, so good smoothie of probiotic goodness!!!
