Kefir Smoothie Bowl
Kefir is halfway in between the thin milk and thick Greek Yogurt. Kefir leaves a beautiful smooth texture in the bowl and stays on the spoon because it is smooth and creamy.

From smoothies and cheesecakes, to scrambled eggs and sauces; kefir and cottage cheese are amazing ways to increase your protein without adding meat to your diet.
