When I make fruit smoothies I always add yoghurt which is full of probiotics. Last week at Whole Foods I noticed a product called Kefir so I googled it and discovered that it is more nutritious and therapeutic than yogurt and can balance your internal ecosystem. It is a complete protein with minerals and pleny of B vitamins which my nerves love.
Sounds like yogurt so how is it different? Another google and I discovered that they are both cultured milk products with different types of beneficial bacteria. Yogurt cleans the digestive system and feeds the resident friendly bacteria that lives there. Kefir colonizes the digestive track with strains of friendly bacteria and beneficial yeasts. It's also a great housecleaning tool for the intestines and a healthy body can resist pathogens like E. colie and parasites. It's easier to digest than yogurt making it a great food for those with compromised digestive tracks.
So today I bought some and made a great fruit smoothie with my Kefir, organic apple juice, organic blueberries, some aloe vera juice, whey powder and Stevia as a sweetner. OK I don't measure I guestimate!
