Ok, so add fruit and kefir to a blender , 1 to 1 ratio. Blend it, add to a glass jar with a lid not tight. Let it sit,at room temperature, about2.5 hours. Put it in the fridge, where it sits for 24 hours. It's ready to drink.
I left mine overnight with a tight lid, and it exploded! It’s frothy, mam.
I do this daily. The entire family drinks it almost ad fast as I can make it. I normally make about 9 cups a day
Thank you so much 🌟
Oh Lord! Jersey Raw milk kefir and home grown peaches. YUM!!!!!
Yes, we love our jersey cows and all the wonderful raw milk they produce. This smoothie is divine! Thank you for watching Roberta.
Where in TX can I find raw milk? I live in the valley Edinburg area.
Sounds heavenly!!! 😋
Lovely video
This is a great video. Thank you.
I'm just imagining adding a little raw honey to the peaches and cream kefir. 😋
😀 thanks!
Love all your videos on kefir, always so helpful. I’ll definitely try this.
Thank you for watching!
Love this video! this looks delicious! Trying this tomorrow :)
Great, I hope you like it!
What a glorious farm you have!
Thank you for watching AnnMarie, and we appreciate your compliment.
Thank you!!! I loved your channel!!
Thank you so much and thank you for watching!
Great ideas!! Now maybe I can get the rest of the family on board! Thank you!!
These smoothies are delicious so hopefully your family will like them. Thank you for watching!
thank you for promoting health
You are welcome and thank you for watching.
I’m so happy I found your channel! I’ve been searching for recipes. Thank you so much! Your recipes look so delicious! 💕
Thank you for watching and hope you enjoy our recipes!
Best clear straight forward instructional video regarding second fermentation on youtube!!! Thanks a bunch :) :)
Thank you for watching and thank you for your kind compliment!
Hi, hello from Malaysia. Thanks for your video. I was searching how to do 2nd fermentation. Will try after this because i have bananas and pineapple ❤❤❤
I am from India I have been searching for recipes. I am so happy I found this video. Thank you so much ❤ your recipe looks delicious I will definitely try this recipe 💐🙏
I made it this morning. It was so delicious 😋 Thank you for sharing!!!
Yes, second fermentation enhances the flavor. We love it! Thank you for watching Adriana.
Ever since I learned how to make kefir smoothies, my three year old asks for a kefir smoothie every single day and I help him make it! A second ferment is such a great idea. It also means you can make the smoothie ahead, like in the morning or evening for the next day and it will be ready when you are. You can't really do that with a normal non-fermented smoothie XD Thanks for the great videos!
Yes, that is great your three year old loves smoothies. The second ferment will add nutrition. Win!
Ohhh that looks sooo good! I'm just getting started with kefir and kefir grains haven't even arrived yet. I'm dreading trying to figure our how to manage everything, as I'm wanting to do a bit of everything. Drink it plain, secondary ferments as "treats", kefir "sour cream replacement", and even kefir cheese (quark)... all in limited refrigerator space. Along with working a 10 hour work day. Wow. What a challenge. And now you've added one more thing to that list! :)
Thank you for watching Kurt, sounds like you are like our family making kefir a food group. Once you get in a routine of making kefir it will become second nature. I make kefir first thing in the morning while I am having my morning coffee. Kefir is a priority around here because of its health benefits.
I love smoothies and I appreciate your video for my family I’m a new friend from Oklahoma I look forward to watching and I rang your 🔔 so I’ll get notifications have a blessed Sunday ❤️👍🏻
Thank you so much for subscribing.
@@texasfarmsteadliving-caren9517 your welcome
You can just take an orange peel or just one strawberry or something and put it in your fresh kefir then set it on the counter for about 30 minutes then put it in the fridge for another 12 hours… holy cow it’s amazing… the second fermentation is the only way to go!!
🤗🤗
Great idea to keep the sugar down, I will try it for my great grandson’s. ❤ personally I am a fiber free Carnivore healing a hernia.
Great presentation
From Ireland
Thank you and thank you for watching!
Both of those smoothies look amazing. I love to freeze the kefir in portions and use it to replace ice cream. It makes the best thick shake fruit smoothies😊
Great tip! These smoothies are just like having a frothy milk shake. Thank you for watching!
@@texasfarmsteadliving-caren9517 I wish I was sipping on one right now.🙌
I've made a soft cheese from kefir milk as well.
I don't have a muslin cloth, I use a chux cloth doubled over. I put dried apricots and roasted almonds in, then roll the soft cheese in toasted sesame seed..
Thank you Caren! Please post the titles of the background music...very nice guitar track!
I make 2nd fermented smoothies now for family and neighbors everyone loves it even people who didn’t like plain kefir… thank you
Yes, fermented smoothies are like having a milk shake. So yummy! Thank you for watching!
We just moved from Tennessee and I'm starting my kefir from scratch (again). I know this is 2 years old and I'll go back and watch your other YT videos, but I'm in the bluebonnet area of Texas too, so your around here somewhere! I'd love to get milk from you if that is possible (I had a cow share in Tennessee and miss that!)
Welcome to Texas! I can share kefir grains with you if you want some mature grains. I recently learned of this raw milk dairy in Fredericksburg
www.cherrymountaindairy.com/. Thank you for watching!
@@texasfarmsteadliving-caren9517 I'd loves some mature grains. I did leave a message on your web site so you have my e-mail and phone number. Just let me know when, where & how.
Oh shoot! looks like y'all are 4 hours away. I guess I'm still the lone ranger out here west of Houston!
Goodness, yes we are in the Fredericksburg area. I hope you can find some Weston A. Price in your area. They always know where to find the raw milk!
I'm going to guess that once it has separated and it explodes out when you remove the lid then it's not safe to drink? 😂 That happened to me today. I blended my kefir with strawberries and put it in the fridge for about 3 days. I think it triple fermented.
Sounds like your kefir was really happy with the strawberries. Thank you for watching!
I've never made milk kefir but the way you make it looks delicious. I might have to try. Do you sell what you make?
Yes, kefir is so delicious! We love it and drink it everyday. Sorry no here in Texas we can't sell products made with raw milk without a permit.
Thank you for the video, What did you do with the grains during the whole process?
It was the second fermentation, so she had already removed them…. BTW I’m wondering if blending the kefir kills some of the health benefits..
@@LiveLoveLaugh22 I always blend it in with fruits never had a problem
Yes, from the comment I removed the grains and started another batch of kefir. I keep kefir grains going all the time because I have jersey cows.
(lots of milk around here). I ferment 24 hours then strain and start a new batch first thing in the morning.
Great video thanks and I was wondering about the heat in a place when they are on the counters of your kitchen as we are going into a heatwave so it is this bad? The other thing I was wondering about is this lady was kind enough to give me these Keifer grains but it had a hair in it. I am sure she didn't do that intentionally but still, there was a hair in it. Does this mean it's not good?
Yes, we are in quite a heatwave therefore fermentation will speed up. Finding a hair in your kefir grains is undesirable but I would rinse them in filtered water and maybe ferment and discard a few times before I would drink it. I totally understand because I am very picky about cleanliness.
If the temperature of the room is higher, you have to ferment it shorter time. Instead of 24 hrs, put it into fridge after 12-18 hrs. Play with it - go by taste.
Πολυ ωραιο!Θα ξεκινησω κι,εγω.Περιμενω να μου φερουν κοκους,Ποσες ημερες κραταει το κεφιρ στο ψυγειο?
Hi, loved the video. Only a few days ago I started to grow some kefir grains I bought online. I thought I had bought pasteurised milk, unfortunately it was UHT.! In my country, where I live, raw or pasteurized milk is never seen in the groceries and I have no near by farmer market or farm to get milk. I think my grains will die because I have no proper milk to feed it. Could you advise on whole powdered milk, if that is a viable option.
I would think raw whole powdered milk would work. Sometimes I use freeze dried milk from my jersey cows. Thank you for watching!
I hope you will make these second fermented kefir smoothies because your family will love them. You will be amazed what a second fermentation does for your kefir.
You prolly dont give a shit but does anyone know a way to get back into an instagram account??
I was stupid lost my password. I appreciate any help you can offer me
@Easton Gordon instablaster :)
@Luis Zain i really appreciate your reply. I found the site thru google and I'm in the hacking process atm.
Seems to take quite some time so I will reply here later with my results.
@Luis Zain it worked and I actually got access to my account again. I am so happy:D
Thanks so much you really help me out!
@Easton Gordon you are welcome :D
Hi! You are so cute and lovely!! I was wondering what non dairy milk you recommend for kefir? I recently started making coconut milk kefir but it hurts my and my boyfriend's stomach for some reason (I'm using the organic canned one that only contains coconut milk and guar gum) and ferment for 24 hours. Would you have any insight as to why this is happening?
Hello Chelsey, thank you for your kind compliments. I have no experience in using any milk other than cow's milk. Sorry I couldn't help you.
Maybe Start out with 2 or 3 ounce I would think tell your tummy gets where it is fine with it.
@@vickiehat1074 for a start all canned food has a plastic lining and cooked in the can. Plastic has forever chemical so you dont want that in your body. Try blend real coconut in water in a blender. Look on CZcams and it will show you how to peel, open, scrape or remove the flesh out. Very easy and quick once you know the correct techniques.
Milk kafir grains are different from water kafir grains. Milk ones require real animal milk only because they need lactose to eat. So I think you might be drinking spoiled coconut water and not kafir. Do some google research.
Can you make milk kiefer with Almond milk or coconut milk will the grains work with those 2 milks or can you you the store bought kiefer with almond milk where you don't use grains
No milk kafir can only be made with milk kafir grains and others are made with water kafir grains
Can you drink the smoothie right after blending? Thanks in advance!
Yes you can! Thank you for watching!
I want to make my own kefir, how do I acquire the grains? Or what do I look for when I purchase the grains? What makes a good kefir grain ?
I purchased my grains from Cultures for Health. I am sure there are other options but back when I started they were hard to find. If you know of a raw milk dairy they might possibly make kefir and be happy to share grains with you. I share my kefir grains all the time. I would definitely buy dried grains and rehydrate them myself unless I knew the source. Hope this helps and thank you for watching!
Amazon
You mentioned in the video to add about 1 peach to 1 quart of kefir but that looked more like 3 peaches? Can you help me to know how much fruit to add?
Hello Kim and thank you for watching! It really just depends on your taste. I used frozen peaches and just guessed.
Hello there quick question does kifer cause weight loss?I've started using store bought kifer for gut health and soon will be ordering my grains to make it myself.does it cause weight loss?I want to continue using it but I do not want to lose weight as I'm already underweight.did you notice that happen to you when you started? Please reply?
We haven''t noticed that kefir causes weight loss. We use our Jersey cows full cream milk with our grains. Mr. Rueffer is very thin and he drinks one quart daily and he thinks it helps his gut health. Thank you for watching!
@@texasfarmsteadliving-caren9517 thank you for your reply.And Mr.Rueffer does not look like he is losing more weight?
Hi can you tell me if you selling kefir grains because i don’t know where to buying the grains here in Florida.Good bless
Hello Connie, sorry we don't sell grains but you can buy dehydrated grains from Cultures for Health. Thank you!
On Amazon
Do you have to use frozen fruit? Or can fresh fruit be used.
Hello Lily, fresh fruit works perfectly! Thank you for watching!
@@texasfarmsteadliving-caren9517 I made the pineapple banana with coconut extract and it was amazing!
Don’t you kill the nutrition once you blend it? THANK YOU in advance for your reply.🙏🏼
I am not aware that blending impacts the nutritional component of kefir but if you see any information about it please share with me.
No, bacteria and yeasts are not cut in half in blender.
But - adding fruit - you consume fructose.
Apple has more fructose than corn.
Drink kefir plain, do NOT Americanize it.
Just add a small amount of kefir to fruit and blend them first , then add more fresh kefir to it then ferment as normal, that way may help to reduce the losses of benefits of kefir. That's what I think 😊
Hello,, how can i keep my grains for a long time,,😍?
You can cover them with milk and place them in the refrigerator or several weeks. You also can dry them, then place in the freezer.
In the fridge in milk or frozen without milk.
my kefir tastes like really strong cheese. even when i mix fruit with it to make it into a smoothie, you can still taste the strong cheese taste. What can i do to mask the taste?
If you are fermenting your own kefir try using fewer grains or a shorter fermenting time so your kefir won't be so strong tasting. Adding more fruit might help as well. Kefir can be a taste that has to be developed. Once we had a taste for it we enjoy it plain as well. Thank you for watching!
Your grains are overgrown with yeast.
Wash them VERY GOOD IN MILK, so that they look like a nice cauliflowers again. Use less grains or more milk or shorter time or lower temperature.
You kefir has to smell nice and fresh.
It should never taste or smell like cheese. Just fresh and sour.
Clean the grains really well in between -,on plastic colander with plastic spoon or wash them in a little milk and drain well - shaking the colander well while stirring. Temp too high or time too long or too much grains. - 1 tbsp per 1 l is enough over 24 hrs, On 69-72 F.
Oh wow it's sounds like very healthy stuff, I really new to keffir, but yes I made my own sourdough starter ., How I make keffir starter ?
Thank you
Thank you for watching Robert! Glad to hear you made your own sourdough starter. To make starter you will need kefir grains or a packet of one time use kefir cultures. I prefer the grains because you can use them daily, they multiply to make a never ending supply of grains. You can buy grains and rehydrate them yourself or sometimes you can find someone who has them and will share. I bought my grains from Cultures for Health.
Very interesting to learn about this, thank you for the reply would be happy to start this healthy eating habits.
Thank you, have a wonderful day
You cannot make a starter. Order it on Amazon.
If we keep it inthe fridge for a couples of days does it turn into alcohol?
Yes, it does start having a flavor of alcohol if it ferments too long due to the fruit.
What is the reason for 2nd fermentation? Could you just use fruit and blend and put in the frig?
Added nutrition from fermentation, particularly the B vitamins. Yes you could blend then maybe leave out a hour then put in the fridge to slow down fermentation.
After you use fruit, put it into stomach.
Too much of bacteria !!!
What do you mean second ferment so it keeps fermenting
When you add fruit to kefir it will ferment and add more probiotics and nutrition. Also, it is so delicious and makes the kefir creamy like a milk shake. Thank you for watching!
What is " second" ferment?
Sounds like the 1st fermentation was with just the sugar in the milk & the 2nd fermentation added with the fruit sugar when she let it sit after blending 2-3 hours.
How long does the smoothie last in the fridge?
I like to drink the smoothies within 1-2 days. On the blog post I give a more detailed explanation of why. Thank you for watching!
@@texasfarmsteadliving-caren9517 Will the second ferment eat the sugar?
Your printable second ferment kefir smoothie recipes link is broken.
I think it is working now, please try again. Thank you!
@@texasfarmsteadliving-caren9517 Thank you for fixing the link, working now.
So how do you do the second fermentation? I still don’t understand your video. ?
Leave the kefir smoothie at room temperature for a second ferment. Thank you for watching!
Can we get more good bacteria with second fermentation of kefir?
Thanks
Yes, good bacteria increase with a second fermentation of kefir as well as B vitamins, micronutrients and macronutrients. Thank you for watching!
@@texasfarmsteadliving-caren9517 amazing, thanks a lot for this information, i will wait for your next video regarding fermented foods.
Stay blessed
Do you think it's worth mentioning that the jars must be sterilised ?
Thank you for watching! The jars need to be clean but I don't sterilize them.
Extended time doesn’t not make kefir less sour.
The grains' lactic acid bacteria turn the milk's lactose into lactic acid. This is what makes kefir taste sour like yogurt .
The longer exposure, the more sour.
There is a good reason for that tangy taste. What you're tasting is butyric acid, a short chain fatty acid famed for its distinctive scent, its bite (butyrate is what gives parmesan cheese its flavour) and most importantly - its anti-inflammatory health benefits for your gut.
Additionally, carbon dioxide produced by the yeast flora contributes to its sharp acid and yeasty flavour .
In summary, kefir should have a tangy, slightly sour smell and taste, a slightly thick and creamy texture, and may separate during fermentation. If your kefir has an unpleasant smell or taste, is thin and watery, or has curdled, it may be a sign that it has gone bad.
How much kéfir do you usually drink? How much is safe? Mine is so so tangy I added pineapple and honey and it's still so tangy 😂😵
Usually I drink about one cup and my husband drinks about one quart daily. I would definitely start with one cup. If your kefir is too tangy then maybe you can use less grains when culturing the kefir. This time of year kefir ferments quickly and becomes tangy faster so I use less grains than in the winter. Adding a banana might help as well.
Great video but the music was too loud. When I turned the video up so I could hear your voice better the music was very jarring to my ears.
Thanks for the tip
I couldn’t see what you used for coconut. It was out of camera shot.
Coconut Cream
I don't know why it drives me bazonkers when people say [KEY-fur] but it does. Kefir grains originated in the middle east - as does the word 'kefir'. It's pronounced [kuh-FEAR]. It's not that important unless you want to sound like you know what it is or what you're talking about. It's like moving to a new city and mispronouncing the town you live in. If it were me, I'd want someone to tell me.
This ferments so fast. Isn’t this a quick way to make alcohol?
Yes, you are correct this is a very fast ferment. Ambient temperature will play a large role in the rate of fermentation. Warmer=faster Cooler=slower
Here is some information that might help: www.foodandnutritionjournal.org/volume4number1/production-of-low-alcohol-fruit-beverages-through-fermentation-of-pomegranate-and-orange-juices-with-kefir-grains/
If I dare to add anything other than cinnamon or vanilla to my 2nd ferment my kefir goes nuts, separates and promptly basically turns into cheese
My grains are HUNGRY. I tried adding cacao powder and got chocolate cream cheese 🤣😖
Do you second ferment on your counter? If so, trydoing it in the fridge. That way you should be able to catch it before it separates. Or use less fruit for your second ferment, then make the smoothie adding more fruit.
Stop the music!!!!
The product kefir is pronounced "ka-feer" in English, including America, NOT "kee-fa".
Can the music be removed? It spoils everything.
this is annoying how do you get the kefir starter ????
You purchase it online, such as Amazon or Cultures for Health. You want kefir grains.
Is your Google broken? Good grief! Look it up.
Please pronounce it right:
It's Keh feer not Key for.
Different people from different places have different pronunciations 💕
Yes, thank you. If I pronounced it Keh feer not one person I know would understand what I am talking about.
Kefeer, please kefeer.
Not kefr. Thank you.
It's NOT KEEFER.
ITS KUFIR..PHONETICS.
