See all Jane’s recipes using Coconut Kefir.
Kefir (Ka-FEER) is a refreshing fermented drink that comes from the North Caucusus region. It is usually made of milk, by introducing kefir grains of healthy bacteria and allowing them to ferment in a leather pouch. Coconut kefir is made of coconut milk, and is an ideal beverage for anyone who can’t tolerate dairy products.
There are several suppliers where you can buy coconut kefir. If you’re buying it ready made, look for a pure unsweetened kefir with coconut milk, kefir grains, and no added ingredients. By far the best coconut kefir is homemade. I suggest you refer to Mark’sDailyApple.com for an excellent recipe for coconut kefir.
Tula’s CocoKefir is a good quality kefir made from coconut water. However it is sweetened with apple juice which is high in fructose, and refined stevioside which is a highly processed sweetener. Tula’s CocoKefir contains these ingredients: Raw young coconut water, organic apple juice, organic cinnamon, probiotic cultures, stevia.
Many people like So Delicious Original Recipe Cultured Coconut Beverage. However it contains refined ingredients, thickeners, and tapioca dextrose – a high-carb, glycemic sweetener that I do not recommend.
