*What is kefir? Kefir is a fermented milk drink, with a consistency similar to yogurt. It contains a number of probiotic bacterial strains that support a healthy gut.

For this recipe I used the Lifeway plain Kefir but you can use any brand, just make sure it isn’t packed with added sugar. As well as fueling your gut, kefir is also naturally high in protein and calcium and low in lactose.
