Got milk kefir? Not sure what to do with it? Here are 70+ ways & recipes to use it.

Some things you should know:

There are a lot of recipes around the internet for using the fermented milk product, kefir so I thought I would make a big list to help inspire you to use kefir and not get bored with using it, if it’s a part of your diet. The easiest way and tastiest way, to me, is to make kefir is in a smoothie or to serve kefir with berries.

 

Kefir can be used just about anywhere that buttermilk, yoghurt or cream cheese may be used. Other great ways to use kefir are:

  • In smoothies
  • To tenderize meat instead of yoghurt
  • Served with fruit
  • In a cold soup
  • In an ice cream recipe
  • Poured over cereal
  • Used instead of yoghurt to make
  • In a healthy milkshake recipe
  • As a leavening agent
  • In place of buttermilk in baking
  • As a starter for a sourdough recipe
  • To make a herbed cream cheese, or a fruit-flavoured cream cheese
  • To ferment grains or flours
  • To help dephytinize grains, cereals, nuts and seeds
  • In a salad dressing
  • In a pasta sauce
  • To make proboiotic drinks

Yesterday I showed you a simple and delicious recipe for milk kefir.

This milk kefir recipe was raspberry and lemon flavoureddelicious! I would recommend it as a great simple recipe for those new to kefir.

Now, below I present to you the largest list I could make of kefir recipes from around the web! If you know any great recipes I haven’t linked to please let me know and I’ll add it to the list (as long as it isn’t too similar to any listed recipe).

Please note: that even though these recipes contain kefir, other ingredients in the recipes may not be the healthiest, so use your best judgment and substitute for healthier ingredients where you can.
