    Do you like sour? Thick and sour? Then buy it straight. I take mine in a shot glass because this is the way I like it.

    Do you like something sweet and strawberry-ish that you can add to a shake? Then get the sweetened kind with fruit.

    I think there is only one brand here so that's what I've gotten. Or you can get kefir grains from a health food store and make your own.

    P.S. My daughter hates anything white, creamy, or sour. So she shudders at the thought.

    Think of it as Liquid Yogurt... that's really the texture of it... rather like yogurt only a runnier texture. Yum! I drink it from a glass or in cereal. Lifeway? I'm pretty sure that's the brand I like best... I have Peach in the fridge right now and love it!

    https://www.google.com/search?q=Lifeway&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8#q=lifeway+kefir+coupons Here's a link I found on Google that you can get Coupons from their site, they send you some or you can print them.

    http://lifewaykefir.com/ They also have frozen products and more.

    We usually buy Lifeway brand. Either strawberry or blueberry. I like to pour it over a nice fruit salad with berries and papaya and some chopped nuts or granola. Yum!

    I don't buy plain, no, I like the flavored but what I buy is low fat.

    Around here is LifeWay brand. I like the low fat plain version. It's replaced Greek yogurt for me. It makes better shakes because it's more liquid.

    Mmmmmm gut microbiota

    Going to Publix to get it! If I like it I will look into the organic versions from health stores.
