Woolworths' kefir (pronounced "kuh-FEER", with an emphasis on the second syllable, or "KEE-fur", stressing the first syllable) is a deliciously refreshing, fermented dairy drink made using Woolworths’ exclusive Ayrshire milk. Produced using a slow fermentation process, it has an authentic tangy flavour with a naturally light fizz. It’s made with live bifidobacterium cultures, is rBST hormone-free and contains no added preservatives. It's available in five flavours – plain, strawberry, granadilla, mango passion and blueberry – so there’s something for everyone.
What does kefir taste like?
Think tangy, creamy and lightly effervescent. It’s refreshing rather than sharp, with a depth of flavour that comes from the slow fermentation process. The flavoured varieties have a fruity sweetness that beautifully balances the natural tang.
How to use it
Kefir is incredibly versatile. Drink it straight from the bottle as a refreshing pick-me-up, or use it as a base for overnight oats or smoothies.
Kefir tropical and mixed berry smoothies
For a creamy, gut-friendly smoothie, blend 500 ml of kefir with 350 g of Woolworths frozen tropical fruit or frozen mixed berries packs. Top with granadilla pulp or fresh raspberries for a delicious kefir treat.
Kefir bircher muesli
Kefir also works brilliantly in bircher muesli – simply mix it with oats, nuts and fruit the night before for a fuss-free breakfast. Creamy, tangy and packed with gut-loving goodness, this kefir bircher muesli is the ultimate make-ahead breakfast. Loaded with oats, fresh fruit and wholesome ingredients, it’s perfect for busy mornings, meal prep, or a wholesome breakfast on the go.
