Another Kefir Class; In Heber City, Utah

Tuesday night, Nov. 15, at 6:30 at The Real Foods Market in Heber City, Utah. I will have kefir samples and smoothie made with raw milk kefir and I will be selling starts for kefir. I will also have some starts and tastes of a couple of "user friendly" yogurts to try. Raw Milk is all ready a super food but "kefiring or culturing" it makes it even better. There is a $10 charge for the class and the kefir starts are also $10, but this is a very worthwhile investment in your health. Kefir is for those who can and especially those who can't digest lactose (milk sugar). Come and taste real kefir and see what you can do with it. Better health can start with this very simple process. See my older blogs about making kefir and a pineapple kefir smoothie.

Kefir and Garlic Green Smoothie

This one is truly unusual but so thirst quenching for hot summer days. I used to make this back in the 70's when I was living in Detroit and a neighbor from the middle east, Syria I believe, made this for me and I loved it. She gave me the recipe and I of course, modified it some but it still has the basic ingredients. She said this was one of the ways they kept their "cool" during the hot months. I forgot this idea for many years, but a couple weeks ago, when it was very hot here in Utah, I remembered this and revived it. Hope you try this one cause I think you will like it too.

2-3 cups homemade or commercial plain kefir. You can also use plain yogurt.
1-2 peeled and chopped cloves fresh garlic
1/2 tsp. Real Salt or other sea, high mineral salt
5-6 big leaves of spinach
handful of ice
4" piece of peeled cucumber (optional) fresh parsley is a nice variation too.

Blend all this up, liquify it and serve. Keep remainder in the fridge.
