FAQs

What is Milk Kefir?

Milk kefir is a delicious, probiotic-rich fermented milk drink with a tangy, slightly effervescent taste. It's made by fermenting fresh milk with kefir grains — a living culture of beneficial bacteria and yeasts — and is one of the most diverse probiotic foods you can find.

How do I drink it — and what can I make with it?

On its own, straight from the fridge, is a great place to start. But milk kefir is also brilliant in smoothies, salad dressings, overnight oats, baking, and so much more. For inspiration, visit our milk kefir recipe collection here

How much should I drink?

If you're new to fermented foods, start with 100–150ml a day and let your gut adjust. After a week or two most people move up to 200–300ml daily. Listen to your body — it'll tell you what it needs.

Is it suitable for toddlers and elderly people?

Yes! For toddlers over 12 months, start with 1–2 teaspoons and build up gradually to around 50–100ml a day. For older people it's a wonderful choice — easier to digest than regular milk, rich in calcium and protein, and full of gut-supporting cultures. As always, check with a healthcare professional if you have any concerns.

What about lactose intolerance?

Because the kefir grains consume most of the lactose during fermentation — converting it into lactic acid — many people with lactose intolerance find milk kefir much easier to tolerate than regular milk. The longer it ferments, the more lactose is broken down. If you're sensitive, start small and see how you go.

Milk Kefir Grains: Your Gut's Best Friend

Milk kefir is the ferment our customers reach for first when they want to heal their gut. It works gently and powerfully – lining, soothing, and restoring balance from the inside out.
