I used to make my smoothies with kefir and frozen fruit and banana to sweeten… I made them so much because the kefir was healing my eczema (for almost 2 years daily) , now my eczema breaks out if I consume kefir (cows dairy) or yogurt…. so I use water instead now or coconut milk/cream/water.

Do you have a recipe for making kefir? If not what brand/s of kefir would you recommend buying (live in Canada).

I used to have kefir grains that I used all the time, but I haven’t used them in a very long time & I think they’re dead. Where can I get new grains? Or is this like kombucha, which never really die?

I just can’t do the stevia taste! It tastes just like aspartame to me. This recipe sounds delicious, though. I’m sipping something similar right now! Organic Greek yogurt, organic raspberries, a tad of pine pollen, cranberries and a splash of cherry juice!

Is Stevia really safe? I avoid artificial sweeteners at all costs. Can I use honey instead?

  Absolutely

What about a morning berry smoothie without dairy. Is coconut yogurt ok?

Love kefir by itself. It’s got to be amazingly delicious with fruit and vanilla.
