Podcast Episode 281: Kefir For Breakfast
I learned a long time ago that if I wanted to feel good, I had to have kefir every day. It seems to work best for me to have kefir in the morning, but sometimes I have it at other times too. I've kind of played around with different ways to have it and found these breakfasts give me lots of energy. Tune in to learn more.

    Hi I just started making L Reuteri and adding it to my kefir overnight oats, nuts dried fruit like date or prune vanilla cinnamon . When I’m ready to eat it I’ll add fresh berries apples or other fruit it keeps for ages and is always delicious. 😋 Have you tried sodas with your L Reuteri whey? I’ve just got one started just now and am curious if it will work.

    How is it important to buy organic inulin than just the regular one? I heard that even organic psyllium husk contains more than 20x toxic levels of arsenic and other heavy metals. And prebiotic fiber by nature tends to accumulate heavy metals from the earth many times more that other parts of the plants. So i am afraid the only thing i am able to find organic in my country is chicory root which is 30% inulin. I gonna try adding a lit of it for second ferment will see

    My first batch and after less than 24 hours it popped the lid off and made a mess. I am going to let it go another 12 and cross my fingers. It’s very thick and I am not using any “maker”. Just put in a room without a/c where the temp is around 88-92 degrees. Regular yogurt ferments well this way too.

    QUESTION: I've made it successfully in the past. I just used the same formulation: 10 tablets, 2 tablespoons inulin and organic half-and-half. I used the same 8 jar yogurt maker. It came out liquidy. Not separated, just milky. What could have gone wrong? And can I use that liquid to make another batch? Will it still have plenty of L-reuteri as a starter? Would love to hear the thoughts of anyone who successfully makes this.

    So glad your channel popped up in my feed today. This is so interesting but I’m frustrated by how poorly the transcript reads. I want to learn all about the three types of yogurt you mention but the transcript doesn’t tell us exactly what you are calling these three yogurts! I just subscribed and will check out your site to see if I can get a better understanding of what you call these yogurts. Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge with us. I live in Greece and love the thick, Greek strained yogurts ( never really liked yogurts growing up in America) and also kefir. I like kefir enough that I don’t find a need to add a different taste to it. I’m also giving kefir to my two aging dogs & it has helped them greatly with digestive issues. One is eleven, the other thirteen. Am looking forward to checking out more of your vids. I fist got turned onto kefir when I started following Dr Steven Gundry’s ‘Plant Paradox’ eating plan for healthy microbiome. That was 4.5 years ago and I feel great. Lost 24 k and am finally eating healthy because of knowing why a healthy microbiome is so important to good overall health. I’ll be 73 this summer and other than arthritis in my knees, I’m the picture of good health; I take no prescription drugs nor OTC meds, just eating well! ☺️
