Questions about Lifeway lowfat plain kefir
How can you use plain kefir in a smoothie?
Blend it with banana, berries or oats for a tangy, pourable smoothie. Add the fruit first and kefir gradually to get the thickness you want.
Can you use kefir instead of buttermilk in baking?
Yes. Use the same amount in pancakes, soda bread or muffins; its acidity works well with bicarbonate of soda. If it is very thick, thin it with a little milk first.
Can you cook with kefir in soups or sauces?
Kefir can split if boiled. Take the pan off the heat, let the soup cool slightly, then stir in kefir just before serving.
How should you store kefir after opening?
Keep it refrigerated and close the cap firmly after pouring. Use it within the time stated on the pack, and discard it if it has been left out for a prolonged period.
Can you freeze kefir?
You can freeze it, but thawed kefir may separate and turn grainy. Whisk it well after thawing and use it in smoothies, baking or cooking rather than expecting its original texture.
What is the difference between kefir and yoghurt?
Kefir is usually thinner and more pourable than yoghurt, so it works well as a drink or in dressings. Yoghurt is generally thicker and easier to spoon.
Can plain kefir replace plain yoghurt in a recipe?
Yes, especially in smoothies, marinades and dressings; its thinner texture may make the result looser. For dips or baking where thickness matters, strain kefir through a clean cloth first.
How much kefir is a typical serving?
A small glass of about 200 g is a practical serving. It provides 7.6 g of protein and 86 kcal.
