Kefir is often consumed directly from the bottle as a quick and easy drink. For a more substantial treat, it can be blended with fruits, vegetables, and other ingredients to create vibrant smoothies. Its tangy nature also lends itself well to savory applications, such as creating creamy salad dressings or marinades. Some bakers even use it as a substitute for buttermilk in recipes like pancakes or muffins, adding a subtle tang and tenderizing effect to the final product.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike traditional yogurt, kefir is a thinner, drinkable beverage. It is fermented with a wider variety of beneficial bacteria and yeasts, resulting in a more complex flavor profile that is tangier and slightly effervescent. The peach flavoring adds a sweet fruitiness that complements the natural tartness of the kefir.

How to keep the rest
