A Kefir Science Fair Project

Here's 8 year old McKenzie with her Kefir Science Fair project.  She handed out samples of berry-banana-spinach smoothie, kefir sour cream, and kefir "ranch" style dip.

The report board shows our non-homogenized milk and a couple jug styles (glass and plastic) that we can buy it in locally.  We also had a package of dry kefir grains and business cards from Cultures for Health.

Kefir Smoothies

Our family enjoys a healthy, nourishing, kefir smoothie every day.  For my daughter with Celiac, this has completely changed her bowels and made her so much happier and healthier.

For four children, I use 2 cups whole milk kefir + 2 ripe bananas + 1-2 cups frozen berries + 2 cups blanched spinach + 2 TBS honey.

We tried these without the spinach and the kids all agree the smoothies are better WITH spinach. 

There have been a lot of flavor experimentation going on... the favorites are either mixed berries/banana or strawberry/banana.
