Kefir Pics!

Before too much happens, I wanted to share some pictures of what's been happening in the corner of the kitchen.

Here is the Kefir on Day Four (Monday, yesterday) in the morning. It hadn't done as much as I'd hoped but maybe it wasn't getting enough warmth. I decided to let it continue another day 'as is' without changing out the milk.




And here we are on Day Five (this morning) with the same milk as above. Now it's clearly been working! While that curd looks a little scary being a novice at this, the smell is surprisingly light!





It was time to switch out the milk so after stirring it and straining it through a big metal strainer into a bowl, the Kefir grains have become noticeably larger with one tablespoon having become almost three. Meanwhile, I figured I might as well try making a smoothies with the Kefir'd milk so I poured it into a blender with a few ice cubes, some almond milk, little fruit juice, ground flaxseed, and frozen peaches and blueberries.

Here is the result and the flavor was a wonderfully yummy good morning! :-)
