What is kefir?
Kefir is a type of fermented milk drink that is made from yeast and other bacteria. It tastes sour and is like a liquid yogurt, the perfect base for a drinkable yogurt recipe.
Kefir is full of protein and because it is a fermented milk product, it feeds the microbiome in the gut to keep it healthy and strong. Gut health is essential for overall health.
Before You Begin

Ingredients for Yogurt Recipe
Kefir: Kefir is the base of this yogurt recipe. You can easily make your own kefir, or you can buy kefir at the store. If you buy kefir, I recommend buying plain, whole milk kefir. Flavored kefir often comes with sweeteners and other ingredients.
Fruit: This recipe calls for a frozen berry blend, but honestly, you can use whatever frozen fruit you prefer!
Raw Honey: It is important to use a quality, raw honey for maximum benefits. Raw honey also contains live bacteria that feeds the gut microbiome and promotes overall healing in the body.
How to Make Drinkable Yogurt
First, add the frozen fruit and honey into your blender. Then add in the kefir and blend until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Store the yogurt in glass jars in the fridge for up to a week.
I love to fill a little jam jar with drinkable yogurt and put a lid on it for my toddler to enjoy. It is one of his favorite snacks! This also makes a great breakfast drink for your kiddos as well!
Storage
Store the yogurt in a glass jar with a tight lid in the fridge for up to 2 weeks. This recipe does not freeze well as it gets gritty after it thaws out.
