Why make your own kefir? It has more probiotics than yogurt, it is easy to make, it is yummy and fizzy and fun, you can control the ingredients and choose your own type of milk (I use goat), it is cheaper to make, it has tons of enzymes, it improves you immune system, it aids digestion, you can use the kefir and whey for cooking, and it is good for food storage and self reliance. I give a small amount of plain to our puppy every morning to help him with his digestion too. He can eat the extra grains! If you live close to me, I'd be happy to give you some of my real kefir grains!
Add 2 TBS kefir grains to 2 cups milk (you can put milk in glass jar in warm water and soak to room temp if desired). Let the little kefir grain babies work their magic for about 24 hours. Strain out grains from milk. Repeat! Easy!

You can also find them at Good Earth in the refrigerator section by the eggs.

Kefir Breakfast Drink
1/4 to 1/2 cup frozen berries, peaches or 1 ripe banana
stevia and raw honey to taste
Blend and enjoy the good feeling.
What we don't drink, I use to wash my face in the mornings. The berry seeds exfoliate my face, the naturally occurring acids in the whey remove impurities, the raw honey is good for your skin, the goat milk is high in minerals, and the berries add antioxidants and vitamins. My face has not felt softer than this week. I also add it to my bath. I feel more pampered than the Queen of England since I started doing this week! I also freeze this for popsicles and "ice cream" to get the kids to eat it!
