First time trying Kefir/Kefir Smoothie
2011
I was shopping at Aldi grocery store the other day, when I happened to notice they are starting to sell Kefir. And the price was half of what it costs at a regular grocery store. I’m not sure what made me buy it. I’ve always wanted to try it, but didn’t quite know what it would taste like.
You can buy Kefir right next to the yogurt. The best way I can describe it, is it’s like drinking a thick smoothie. I thought it was going to be more like milk, but its thick and kind of sour. I tried the blueberry flavor. For 1 cup the calories are 140, 2 grams of fat and 11 grams of protein and 20 grams of carbs.
Since I didn’t like the sour part of it, I decided to mix it with a cup of frozen mixed fruit. The result? I LOVED IT!

I pretended I was on some tropical vacation drinking it, instead of the Artic cold of Chicago….it helped for a minute!
And, I am super proud of my daughter Claire, while I was busy making muffins for work, and making home made play dough for her class, she made her contribution to the 3rd grade Valetine’s Day party!
Pretzel rods, chocolate, sprinkles with heart shaped marshmallows!!
Great job Claire!
So glad it’s Friday!!! Any fun plans going on??

I like kefir (and that it’s sour) but haven’t had it in a long time. I’ll have to pick some up again… Glad your smoothie made you feel like you were on a tropical vacation!
Great job on the pretzels, Claire! They look GREAT!!!
oh those pretzels are very cute! what a good job she did!
Kefir is good…but one word of warning…it um…really helps regulate things if you know what I mean. LOL
I like kefir – never thought of making a smoothie with it, but now that you mention it…;)
The apple obviously hasn’t fallen far from the tree. Claire, you are a kitchen whiz, just like your Mom!!! Enjoy your Friday.
That is so cute… your daughters pretzel tower.
I grew up drinking kefir.. my homemade soyyogurt tastes a lot like plain kefir and you’re right… soooo good in smoothies.
Awesome first! I’ve seen kefir on other blogs and haven’t really known what it was. I knew some kind of dairy, but thanks for describing it for us! I think it looks like it’d be great in smoothies.
Claire’s pretzel rods are adorable! I love the heart shaped marshmallow touch!
I enjoy Kefir, but that tang is a little different
Good idea to make it into a smoothie. I haven’t bought Kefir in forever!
Hey Jenn. There are shops that sell frozen kefir — it’s really good. The name of the place we go to is called Starfruit. There aren’t any in OP but they are around if you look for them. It’s pretty good and you can get it just like ice cream — with healthy topping, with no toppings, or with not-so-healthy toppings!
Great job to Claire on the pretzels!
