We've experimented in the kitchen and come up with a few quick and easy ideas for Nourish Kefir...


How to enjoy Nourish Kefir…
shake me...
drink me...
love me...
be healthy...
feel good...
be happy!

Breakfast!
For a nourishing and filling start to the day we recommend Nourish Kefir (instead of milk), poured over muesli with chopped banana - it tastes great! It's filling and also helps curb mid-morning sugar cravings - to keep you going until lunch time.

Breakfast Brain Boost!
Here's a delicious and fast way to get your brain working in the morning. In a blender, pour 1/2 bottle of kefir, 1 chopped banana, 1 tsp blackstrap molasses - and 3 tsp millet flakes. Blend for about 10 seconds then it's ready to drink. It tastes really good - takes about 1 minute to make and gives your brain a great start to the day!


Smoothies
We think Nourish Kefir is the perfect base ingredient in a smoothie. It is particularly good with thick rather than juicy fruits. Kefir is also great poured over a fresh fruit salad.

Kefir and peach juice
Peach juice
Kefir

Fill the glass to ¾ full of kefir and top up with peach juice and mix with a stirrer – it tastes delicious and not too sweet.
(Try a glass of kefir with a dolop of honey too!)


Banana kefir smoothie
1 medium ripe banana
200 ml kefir

Roughly chop up a ripe banana and put in the blender – top up with kefir and blend for 5-10 seconds – the above amount provides one serving. It doesn't go thick like a milk-shake


Banana and strawberry kefir smoothie
I small ripe banana
6 ripe strawberries
250 ml Nourish Kefir

Chop the fruit and place all ingredients in blender and mix for 10 seconds
Alternative soft fruits could be raspberries, blueberries or kiwis, nectarines or peaches in any combination you like!

Here's a recipe from Donna S, who says: A friend made me a smoothie with your Kefir and now I am hooked! I buy Kefir and add a banana, some barley powder and organic frozen blueberries, strawberries and use a Braun immersion blender for a healthy smoothie. Thanks for a great product which makes people healthier and happier!


Chocolate kefir smoothie
250 ml (1/2 bottle) of Nourish Kefir
1 tbs raw cocoa powder
1 tbs agave nectar or honey
sprinkling of raw cacao nibs

This is great for chocolate lovers and delicious. We discovered raw cacao powder and raw chocolate nibs in 2006 – these are not sweet – which is why you need the agave nectar or honey. Agave nectar is a natural prebiotic, which means it is indigestible sugar and therefore suitable for diabetics. This is a filling smoothie for guilt free chocolate indulgence! Place all ingredients in a blender and mix for 10 seconds – enjoy! Also great with added banana




Other suggestions...

Home Baked Bread
We've used kefir in home-made bread recipes that require milk or sour milk, using either gluten-free flour or wholemeal flour - It tastes so good, especially warm from the oven with some butter. We've varied our recipe to make cheese scones and fruit scones using Nourish Kefir. It went down very well at the Real Food Festival in April this year.


Curry Sauce
We've also used kefir in curry sauces (instead of coconut milk). Kefir works really well with the Pataks curry paste - with chicken or prawns - where you add about glass of kefir once the meat and onion are cooked in the paste. The result is a delicious creamy sauce. We've trided Pataks Korma and Tikka Masala pastes.


Pesto Sauce
Adding some kefir to your pesto sauce - red pesto or basil - makes a deliciously creamy pasta dish, finished off with freshly grated parmasan - just add to your taste... and enjoy.


Kefir Salad Dressing
4 tbs kefir
2 tsp lime juice (freshly squeezed)
1 tsp lemon juice (fresh or bottled)
1 tbs fresh chopped parsley
salt and pepper to taste

Put all ingredients into small bowl and stir until thoroughly blended. This fresh dressing is tangy and tastes great with smoked salmon and prawns on a bed of rocket salad. You can use balsamic vinegar instead of the lemon and lime juice too.


Your recipes

Zane (from Poland) gave us her recipe for kefir:
one recipe, most popular in our country: Cold beet soup boiled beets, grated (we can also buy them in jars, ready-to-eat) cucumber, finely chopped dills, onion greens etc. chopped. hard-boiled egg, chopped any other vegetables may be added - peppers, tomatoes, etc. salt, pepper, citric acid or lemon juice (we prefer the acidy taste). Add kefir!! and the final colour should be bright pink.. all mixed up and eaten cold. perfect for summer. Kefir is often eaten together with boiled potatoes for a more hearty meal.
