Make Your Sauces, Dressings and Drinks a Little More Probiotic With Kefir
Kefir – a fermented milk drink with a taste similar to drinking yogurt – is rich in probiotics, but its pungent taste and creamy texture make it ideal for sauces and dressings.
In addition to probiotics and a great sour taste, kefir is also lacking in lactose (most of it is converted during fermentation), which means that some people with lactose sensitivities may be able to ingest their food. (In fact, some research suggests it may even help with symptoms.)
It can be used in almost any recipe that calls for unfermented dairy products. Use it in place of buttermilk, spoon by spoon, in savory dressings and sauces , or as a sour milk replacer in smoothies, lassi, or even frozen yogurt . (Want to go to the next level? Create your own !)
