Description

Fermented foods are not only beneficial for our health but are also great for a keto diet. If you follow a paleo friendly ketogenic diet plan and avoid all dairy, you can still enjoy the health benefits of probiotics and enzymes by making kefir from coconut milk. Coconut milk kefir is a probiotic-rich non-dairy drink made by fermenting coconut milk and kefir starter cultures. Apart from coconut milk kefir, other sources of probiotics are sauerkraut, kimchi or raw full-fat yogurt if you follow a primal approach.

Directions

If the cream in your coconut milk has separated from the water, shake well or stir with a non-metal spoon. Add the kefir starter and shake or mix until combined. I like this kefir starter because its easy to use.
Cover it loosely and leave at room temperature for 24-48 hours in the kitchen or place in the oven (only with the light switched on - do not turn the oven on). The best temperature for making kefir is 22 C - 30 C (72 F - 86 F). Taste the kefir in 24 hours and leave to culture for up to 48 hours if needed. When done, shake before use and store in the fridge for up to 2 days. You can make a new batch by using about 3 tablespoons of the cultured mixture and mixing it with more coconut milk. Optionally, add your favourite low-carb sweetener, unsweetened vanilla extract, cinnamon or berries and make a smoothie.
