Have you tried Kefir yogurt?

Yes, it's super easy. The process is pretty much the same. You just leave it out longer and it takes time to sift out the grains.

I've made kefir cheese, too. I can't really remember how I did it, but I'm pretty sure it involved straining through a nut milk bag.

It's a soft cheese, like cream cheese.

Have you ever tried milk kefir grains? They're so cool.

I ordered them again after milk started giving me trouble but I still wanted the benefits.

I use them to help my youngest with constipation. You leave the grains in milk for like a day and then strain it out and it's kind of like yogurt. You can also use it to make cheese, clean ranch dressing, the best pancakes in the world, etc.

This is the brand I use. You just keep refermenting and they double. I took a sip once when I let it sit too long and then all of a sudden my brain was super clear and AWAKE.

I don't know if it's true, but from what I read from one source nobody knows what it actually is or where it came from. It's just been passed down for centuries. Amazing probiotic.

Kefir doesn't sit well on my stomach for some reason. Hasn't for years. Same with certain yogurts. And I don't do sugar, so it isn't that. I did plain kefir, Greek, and Bulgarian style yogurts. But it got to where I just couldn't tolerate it.

That's too bad!

Have you ever tried monk fruit? I've heard it's healthier, but I don't know much about it.

I'm going to be delayed on responding, we're having a family night to spend some together time.

Monk fruit is my favorite sweetener. I do 99% carnivore, but when I make carnivore waffles, I like to use monk fruit as a sweetener. If you've ever tried powdered monk fruit, it's amazing ...better than actual powdered sugar ...zero calories. lol

Note: some people get an insulin response just from the sweet taste of monk fruit, stevia, allulose, erythritol, xylitol, etc ....so it should be considered. I'd go light on it for people who have issues with insulin ....although it's still much better than sugar.
