Vegan-friendly: Kefir can be made with any milk you can imagine: cow milk, coconut milk, soy, rice… can you think of more?
Good for your digestive system: Thanks to all the different beneficial bacteria it has, your digestive system is clean and healthy. Plus, it can also help the good bacteria we already have in our bodies to keep working.
Perfect for digestion: Since it barely contains lactose (or even not at all), you will not have to deal with heavy and never-ending digestion problems.
Lots of probiotics: We all know what that means: fight infections faster. Probiotics are known for its ability to fight body infections from the inside and naturally. If you eat probiotics regularly there will be no need of taking antibiotics, which can be very harmful to your body.
Protein: Kefir is the perfect source of protein since it adds no extra calories. A single serving of plain, non-fat kefir has less than 100 calories but provides 10.5 grams of protein, which can help you feel fuller without extra fat.
Source of vitamins: Kefir is full of vitamins, especially vitamin B. Those vitamins are essential for your nervous system, to keep good blood glucose, and to withstand stress (thanks to thiamine).
When traveling, you’re obviously not going to take bottles of kefir with you, but there are Kefir starters that come in a small packet and you can take with you to make your own Kefir. Normally it can be ready overnight.
As you can see, there is no reason why you shouldn’t add this new food to your diet right now. The best thing about Kefir is that you can mix it with fruit, make smoothies with it, ice cream, cupcakes or even bread! Check it out and let us know what you think.
