Power of Kefir
Kefir is a cultured, enzyme-rich food filled with friendly micro-organisms that help balance your “inner ecosystem.” More nutritious and therapeutic than yogurt, it supplies complete protein, essential minerals, and valuable B vitamins.
The beneficial yeast and friendly bacteria in the kefir culture consume most of the lactose (or milk sugar). Eat kefir on an empty stomach first thing in the morning before (or for) breakfast and you’ll be delighted to find it can be easily digested — as numerous people who have been lactose intolerant for years have discovered.
- One cup of kefir contains 11 to 14 grams of complete protein.
- The bacteria in kefir, known as probiotics, may improve digestion and prevent the overgrowth of harmful bacteria in the gut.
- Drinking a cup of kefir after a workout provides you with quick-digesting whey protein that can help your muscles repair and recover.
Kefir’s ample supply of phosphorus, the second most abundant mineral in our bodies, helps utilize carbohydrates, fats, and proteins for cell growth, maintenance and energy.
Kefir is rich in Vitamin B12, B1, and Vitamin K. It is an excellent source of biotin, a B Vitamin which aids the body’s assimilation of other B Vitamins, such as folic acid, pantothenic acid, and B12. The numerous benefits of maintaining adequate B vitamin intake range from regulation of the kidneys, liver and nervous system to helping relieve skin disorders, boost energy and promote longevity.
Make a kefir smoothie with fruit, wheat germ and flaxseed to drink after your workout!

You are not forever broken. You are not damaged goods. You are not your trauma. Your trauma doesn’t define you. It just shows how strong of a person you are to have made it through all of it.
