I am actually one of the weirdos who drink their kefir plain, but I am very curious to try it in smoothies. <br />I recently "discovered" (by mistake, of course) another way to make kefir, using milk and buttermilk, in 4:1 proportion.

If they are eaten alone they are not held in the stomach for a long time. When eaten with protein they are held up in the stomach for a prolonged period, awaiting the digestion of the protein. While thus waiting they undergo fermentation.Zizihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05493557776919308546noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6066507067825029542.post-12674496533579465042011-12-07T01:51:43.870-07:002011-12-07T01:51:43.870-07:00Kefir is an everyday dairy in Hungary.

The concept kind of reminds me of kombucha, which I used to make, except the "grains" are called a "mother". Which, if you think kefir is "weird", try growing/ making kombucha.. Haha!
