Kefir is an important natural probiotic that has innumerable beneficial properties for our organism. Including it in our diet can mean a before and after. But, in addition to drinking the milk or yogurts that result after its fermentation, we can also use this drink in other recipes as complete and healthy, as in this smoothie that we propose today, ideal for those who want to take care of their line in a very healthy way. So join us to know this great Peach and Kefir Smoothie.
But, before we start, let’s remember what kefir is. The fungus in charge of this fermentation is also called kefir. The milk kefir (because there is also water kefir) is granulated, white in color and it is the one that “feeds” on the milk that we put in it, resulting in milk already kefirized in one or two days, depending on the size of our fungus.
Although we call the result of kefir the same as the fungus itself, it is very important to emphasize that the fungus should never be consumed. The kefir grains are not edible, so whenever you see a recipe with kefir, remember that it is with the resulting milk after fermentation.
Before you see the recipe, if you also drink kefir, or want to include it in your diet, do not miss this other great smoothie, this time Kiwi and Kefir.
