What is kefir?
Hi Ellen. Kefir is a fermented milk drink traditionally made using cow's milk or goat's milk. Kefir typically has more fat than yogurt, but it also has more protein and more probiotics. Sounds interesting, right?
I would like to try this sometime, so have saved it to my computer. I wish you would put a picture with your printable copy of the recipe. It just helps me to see a picture to remind me of what it's supposed to look like finished, and also sometimes spurs me on to make it!
We hear you, Maureen. We will keep your suggestion in mind, thank you for letting us know about your concern.
