I have been making kefir for several months. I usually make 2-3 cups of fresh kefir each day. We enjoy a fruit smoothie with our meal every evening. I make my smoothies with 1/2 of a ripe banana, local honey and strawberries or any other fruit I have around.
Kefir is loaded with probiotics which are really good for your digestive system. I would like to try making cheese with it also. Just haven't gotten around to it yet. Remember to share your extra grains with others just in case your grains die. Always have a backup just in case. You can freeze or dehydrate extras for emergency backup. I got mine from kefirlady.com She also sells water kefir grains. I have not tried the water ones.
