What Is Milk Kefir?

Milk kefir is a fermented dairy drink made by adding kombucha kefir grains — a mixture of bacteria and yeasts — to milk. These grains feed on the sugars in the milk, producing a slightly effervescent beverage that tastes tangy and refreshing, similar to a drinkable yoghurt.

Unlike yoghurt, kefir is fermented with a wider variety of probiotic strains, making it especially beneficial for supporting digestive health.

Why Milk Kefir Is Good for You

Milk kefir has a host of potential health benefits, thanks to its rich probiotic profile:

1. Supports Digestive Health

Probiotics help restore healthy gut bacteria, which may aid digestion and reduce bloating.

2. Boosts Immunity

Around 70% of your immune system is linked to your gut — so a healthy microbiome matters. Kefir’s beneficial bacteria can support your body’s natural defences.

3. Easy to Digest

Even if you’re sensitive to lactose, many people find milk kefir easier to digest than regular milk, since the fermentation process breaks down much of the lactose.

4. Nutrient-Rich

Milk kefir contains calcium, protein, B vitamins and other nutrients essential for overall health.

How to Enjoy Milk Kefir

The great thing about milk kefir is its versatility. Here are some tasty ways to include it in your diet:

• Drink it straight for a tangy probiotic boost
• Blend into smoothies with fruit and honey
• Use as a base for overnight oats
• Mix into salad dressings or dips

If kefir is new to you, start with small amounts (100–150ml per day) and increase gradually as your body adjusts.

✔ Naturally fermented
