Ingredients
  

  • Kefir - 2 cups
  • Strawberries – 6-7 large fresh or frozen
  • Banana - 1/2
  • Optional Linseed - 1 tablespoon

Method
 

To make milk kefir
  1. Purchase milk kefir grains.
  2. Add the grains to a glass jar and pour about 2 cups of milk over the grains.
  3. Loosely cover the milk and let it sit on the counter overnight.
  4. The next day strain off the grains. The liquid you strain off is kefir.
  5. Put the grains back into the glass jar and cover them with more milk.
To make a strawberry kefir smoothie:
  1. Add kefir, strawberries, and banana to a blender.
  2. You can optionally add linseed to the blender as well. Linseed is
    very high in fibre and protein and will give the smoothie more bulk.
  3. Blitz until completely smooth.
  4. Serve immediately.

Notes

How Long Does Kefir Last In The Fridge?
Homemade kefir lasts about 2-3 weeks in the fridge, in an airtight container.
How To Pause Making Kefir?
Simply strain off the grains and put them in a clean glass jar. There’s no need to wash the grains with water. Submerge the grains in fresh milk and seal the glass container.
Put the container in the fridge and replace the milk every 1-2 weeks to
keep the grains happy.
When you’re ready to regularly make kefir again, simple put the grains into a new glass jar and submerge in fresh milk.
The grains should be back in action after being on the countertop for about 24 hours in a loosely covered container.
