I found that people new to Kefir tend to think of it as sour and like it best made into a smoothie with fruit and possibly even a bit of sweetener. A banana is rather neutral flavored and adds thickness if the kefir is a bit on the thin side.
But for me after about 2 weeks, I cut down or even out the extra stuff and will often drink it just as it is. After a while I seem to actually crave it and I can easily drink more than a quart in a day.
Drinking Kefir also tends to satisfy my need to have a huge dish of ice cream every day as my body is getting enough "milk" from the Kefir. And by "milk" I mean the nutrients like calcium and the other good stuff milk has.
My step father called Kefir "buttermilk" as in like the REAL buttermilk his family would get direct from the factory when he was a kid. He was also type 2 diabetic and Kefir was actually good for helping him control his sugar.
Just some of my ideas on Kefir,
Carol
