Kefir Recipes

Kefir is cultured milk with a tang somewhere between buttermilk and thin yogurt, and it swaps into far more recipes than most people realize. Start with how to make milk kefir at home, which needs two ingredients and no equipment. From there, the tang does real work in baking: high-protein kefir banana bread needs no protein powder, and no-yeast kefir pizza dough skips the rising time completely.

The rest of this category is what to do once you have more than you can drink. Strawberry kefir popsicles and cold cucumber kefir soup are both summer answers that require no cooking, and 20 High-Protein Kefir Breakfasts collects the smoothies and overnight oats. This category is growing weekly, with scones, chia pudding, pancakes, and no-churn ice cream all in the works.
