Lifeway Original Kefir 32fl.oz

Kiefer is good for probiotic gut health.

We love it. It taste good and is good for your health.

I LOVE Lifeway Kefir and buy several bottles every week. While I do sometimes buy plain, I prefer the coconut chia flavor. At any rate, I took a tip from a friend and do not drink the kefir straight from the bottle. I pour it into a class, add about the same amount of water (or a quarter of the amount of kefir, it just depends upon my mood) and then add a few squirts of water flavoring (the kind in the little tiny bottles). I have used Koolaid grape and cherry, Crush cherry, Margaritaville pina colada and strawberry daiquiri and a few others. Sometimes in the morning I will add orange juice instead of water.It is good on its own but with those few additions it becomes the base for many different flavored drinks that are very good for you. I don't know what I would do if I didn't have kefir everyday and Lifeway is the best.If you don't like yogurt, you won't like this full strength but even if you do not like yogurt, if you add water or juice and some drops of flavoring, you will still like it (I know because have had friends do who did not like yogurt try it).Cannot recommend highly enough!

My family and I did not enjoy this product. It was on the page of spoiled milk. Perhaps if you like butter milk or sour things, but for us it was really bad. We tossed the rest of it. Perhaps the expectation was that of a healthier milk option. We were sadly mistaken. Maybe after the negative impression passes we can try a flavored version. OMG

Just not our lifestyle. Wouldn't buy again. Taste is not great

The product has very good health implications however it is to early to make a good judgement a sound judgement!

Shame on the previous reviewer for dumping this product without using it properly! She must have bought the plain non-fat version which has no taste, but allows the buyer to experiment and add ANY combination of fruits or veggies to make an extremely healthy smoothie.The health benefits from the kefir plus the added ingredients are too long to list, but all one has to do is check it out online.I've added fresh strawberries, or blueberries, or apples and if it's too thick to drink, throw in an ice cube and the consistency will be right for drinking.Fresh beets, spinach, parsley, kale are other options. And though they may sound awful, they end up tasting fabulous blended up with the kefir.Don't be shy ... be adventurous and experiment with different ingredients, but always FRESH ones.You can buy the Kefir Smoothie already prepared but it costs more and has more sugar in it ... not a good idea if you want to lose weight.I LOVE THIS PRODUCT and would recommend it to everyone.Don't give up if you don't like it at first sip ... the health benefits are out of this world. And it will grow on you. I loved it immediately !!!Sidney

Update: 3/1/2015 This really is as good as it gets. And I love the taste."Lifeway Original Kefir" is, by far, the best way to include an assortment of live and active probiotic cultures in your diet (12 different strains). There is also "Organic Kefir".This is a milk product that's certified Gluten free, 99% Lactose free, made from pasteurized, non-homogenized low fat/non fat milk from non GMO grass fed cows that are not given synthetic growth hormones or antibiotics. And it's Kosher, too.Kefir is a fermented milk product and the taste is somewhat like that of Greek yogurt which some people find unpalatable. I, though, really love the taste and use Kefir daily.
