Anybody else drink Kefir? I'm starting my journey down the fermented foods trail. Store bought is fine.....but

3. I've made my own yogurt for 12 years now. I like kefir but I don't want to have to purchase cultures...

and I can pretty much do with my yogurt what I'd like to do with kefir (smoothies, Indian Mango Lassi in the summertime, regular or Greek yogurt with any manner of fruit and healthy "toppings" ).

I freeze my own cultures but refurbish them with Mountain High plain yogurt every now and then.

I have saved a ton of money making it myself and given my dogs have always gotten some too every day, I've had virtually zero GI issues with them. Big believer here on the power of all kind of cultured foods, but yogurt is just so easy for me (and I've made it every way possible from low tech to high).

But, I have thought of making (milk) kefir but I guess I'm a creature of habit...
