Just wondering if anyone out there has a point of view on kefir as a good source of protein. I'm attracted to the probiotic benefits as well...Any disadvantages or watch outs?

Thanks for sharing your POV.

I think some kefir has sugar content so check labels. It would be a healthy source of protein (and probiotics) but also wouldn't be very filling. So great in early stages, not so good farther out.

I think you can make kefir from milk or water, right?  I imagine the milk one would be a good source of protein.  It's sorta like yogurt, but drinkable.  What's it say on the label?

I absolutely love it and it does satisfy me for one of my six meals.  I found a plain flavored one (Lifeway) in my area that only has 12 g of sugar, much closer in sugar to regular milk.  The other great thing is that I can easily take it with me.  It's thick when you pour it right out of the fridge (my favorite), but if it sits out for a while it gets thinner.

Buy kefir grains and make your own then you can control what goes into it. Starter is different and will only last 5-7 times usually. So make sure to get the grains.
