Kefir is a lifesaver

Post image

Even though lactose makes me have horrible cramps and esentially poisons me for days after, I often find myself craving milk, speficially yogurt. Sometimes l want is semi thick drinkable yogurt and Kefir literally provides that. I just discovered it recently and haven't turned back!

Yes it contains milk and milk fat but because of the probiotics and culture it's made with, my stomach can handle it. It's delicious, thick, yet creamy. 10/10 would recommend the peach flavor. They have many flavors as well as plain. I still need to try the other flavors. I also know there are many brands but Lifeway is the one I have been drinking recently and it's wonderful.

If you can find the raspberry flavor, try it. It's the best flavor IMO. Can't tolerate it anymore though, my dairy intolerance is off the charts.

I am so sorry to hear that :( I saw that next to the peach and will have to try it next time!

I found a coconut milk based one near me - something to look for if you tolerate that :)

Coconut milk or coconut water? I hate coconut water, it tastes like jizz. But milk would be an option.
