Lifeway Raspberry Kefir Cultured Lowfat Milk
What it is
This is a fermented milk beverage made from lowfat milk. It has a tangy flavor due to the cultures used in its production. The addition of raspberry provides a fruity sweetness that balances the natural tartness of the kefir. It is a dairy drink that is typically thinner than yogurt but thicker than milk.
How people cook with it
Kefir is enjoyed in many ways, from a simple drink to an ingredient in various dishes.
- Drink chilled on its own
- Blend into smoothies

- Substitute for buttermilk in baking
This raspberry kefir can be consumed directly from the bottle as a refreshing beverage. For a more substantial treat, it blends well into smoothies with fruits, vegetables, and other additions. It can also be incorporated into recipes, acting as a liquid component. Its tangy profile makes it a good substitute for buttermilk in pancakes, muffins, or quick breads, adding moisture and a subtle flavor complexity. Experiment with it in marinades for poultry or as a base for creamy dips.
How it differs from similar foods
