Lucy brightens my day! I love to watch her demonstrate all the different ways to use Kefir. I have just started making my own kefir cheese and love it! I have had a great deal of gastro (H pylori) problems and a hiatal hernia and kefir has helped me a great deal. Thank you Lucy for pointing me in the right direction!

In making your own kefir and letting it "process" a little longer it becomes a bit tart and separates, which doesn't bother me as I like sour stuff. The thicker part I put into my blender with some strawberries, blueberries, etc. and add a little green stevia powder to taste. I recently tried sweet cherries and it didn't need any sweetener at all - depending on the amount of cherries of course. Peach & pear (I can my own w/ultra light syrup) are good also.

I use the watery part as a separate daily drink to which I add several tablespoons of ground up flax seed. I store the rest for using as the "whey" starter for homemade sauerkraut.

Both are yummy!

My question concerns effects of blending (or juicing, grinding, mixing, stirring, etc) on the beneficial bacteria. Do they come through the 'shaken & stirred' phase pretty good? I love my ProBiotics and Lucy Lock's videos!
