Coconut Milk Kefir

Soft, mellow, unassuming. Those are the words that come to mind as I eat coconut milk kefir.

Kefir is one of those superfoods - loaded with tons of nutrition. It has beneficial bacteria to promote healthy digestion and as a wonderful bonus that most people would welcome, if they knew, is that kefir also has beneficial yeasts which take control and rid the body of destructive pathogenic yeasts. (Raise your hand if you have candida!)

Kefir is very similar to yogurt in texture and consistency. Coconut milk kefir is the mild-mannered cousin in the pro-biotic family.

And for those people who don't do dairy, coconut milk kefir is a very welcome addition to the diet. The live cultures in kefir differ from yogurt in that yogurt's cultures are transient in their ability and kefir's are more permanent.

And since we all want to end the problems of the 'A List' (asthma, allergies, autism, auto-immune diseases) kefir fits wonderfully into the mix. The more you can do for those little symbiotes in your body, the better you feel! And the variety helps you from getting tired of any one thing.

I, for one, am glad that I have access to coconut milk kefir at Cali's Natural Foods. Very few places would take the time or the effort to provide me with the alternatives I need since I don't do dairy. Finally, a place where there are options to the standard American diet. Please support Cali's if you feel the same way! I say we keep a place like this around!
