How to Make Kefir at Home | Gut Health & Smoothie Recipe

Are you ready to improve your gut health with a simple, delicious, and budget-friendly solution?

Kefir is a fermented drink made with milk and kefir grains—tiny clusters of beneficial bacteria and yeast that transform milk into a tangy, probiotic-rich beverage. Not only does it taste amazing, but it’s also loaded with health benefits, including improved digestion, better gut health, and a boost of protein, calcium, and B vitamins.

In this post, I’ll walk you through the easy process of making kefir at home, plus I’ll share a bonus recipe for my favorite gut-healing smoothie that uses this nutrient-packed beverage.

What You’ll Need

Here’s what you’ll need to get started:

How to Make Kefir

  1. Add Kefir Grains to Milk: Place about 1-2 tablespoons of kefir grains into a clean glass jar. Add 2 cups of milk, leaving some room at the top.

  2. Cover and Ferment: Secure the jar with a plastic lid or a breathable cloth and let it sit at room temperature for 24-48 hours.

  3. Strain and Store: Once the milk thickens and has a tangy taste, strain the kefir grains using a plastic or stainless-steel strainer. Transfer your fresh kefir to a clean jar and store it in the fridge.

Why Make Kefir at Home?

  • Cost-Effective: Store-bought kefir can be pricey, but making it at home saves you money.

  • Customizable: You control the ingredients, ensuring no added sugars or unwanted extras.

  • Easy to Make: Once you get the hang of it, it’s as simple as setting it and forgetting it!
