I recently started making and drinking kefir for the health benefits, thanks to  Dalyn, who provided me with some grains. I make it using raw goats milk. I began by making smoothies with it, and one day I didn't have much time, so I drank some plain. It was difficult, and I quickly followed it with a big glass of water! I am not used to the taste, and have never even liked yogurt, so I am not eating this stuff because I love it.  My four year old daughter was there when I did this, and wanted to try some too. I tried talking her out of it, but she insisted. To my utter amazement, she gulped down half a glass of plain kefir! She loves it!

I have only been eating really healthy foods for about 10 months. I use mainly whole grains, organic greens, and organic meats. We don't use sugar. I can remember only a few months back when my entire family was somewhat rebelling against these healthful, back the basics foods I was preparing. Now my daughter loves it when I add stevia and cinnamon to something, and she is asking for plain organic yogurt, and plain kefir. Incredible!

Thanks for your comments to my site. I'm glad that I could link to yours. It is funny, someone just introduced me to the idea of kefir, and I was trying to get more information on just what it is. I never heard of anyone using it before. Thanks! Feel free to come and chat about things anytime.
