Follow The Directions

01

Step

24 hrs

In a clean glass jar with a lid, gently pour in the high protein milk. Introduce the kefir grains, ensuring they are well-distributed within the milk. Cover the jar securely. (Prep time: 5 minutes)

02

Step

18 hrs

Allow the jar to rest at room temperature, away from direct sunlight. Over the next 24 hours, the milk will undergo a magical transformation, thickening as the kefir grains work their probiotic wonders. Begin checking for the desired consistency after 18 hours, gently shaking the jar periodically. Fermentation times may vary depending on environmental conditions. (Fermentation time: 18-24 hours)

03

Step

5 mins

Once the kefir has reached your desired thickness, strain it through a fine-mesh strainer into another clean glass jar. The kefir grains will remain in the strainer, ready for their next batch. (Prep time: 5 minutes)

04

Step

30 mins

In a high-powered blender, combine the frozen strawberries. Blend until a smooth, vibrant puree forms, releasing the full potential of their summery sweetness. (Prep time: 5 minutes)

05

Step

Gently pour the strawberry puree into the strained kefir, allowing the two to meld together in a harmonious dance of flavors. Shake well to ensure even distribution, creating a beautiful pink hue throughout. (Prep time: 2 minutes)

06

Step

Refrigerate the strawberry kefir until thoroughly chilled, allowing the flavors to further meld and develop. The result is a refreshing, probiotic-rich beverage that's as delicious as it is beneficial. (Chill time: 1-2 hours)

For a creamier kefir, use whole milk.
Adjust the amount of strawberries to your liking, depending on your desired level of sweetness.
Kefir grains can be reused indefinitely to make future batches of kefir. Store them in a small amount of milk in the refrigerator between uses.
If you don't have fresh strawberries, feel free to use other frozen fruits such as blueberries, raspberries, or mangoes.
