Do people actually like it or force themselves to have it?

YABU. It's delicious. Are you trying plain natural kefir or some weirdy messed-up version with additives?

Some unflavoured ones are quite sour tasting, like natural unsweetened yoghurt. However there are ones that contain mango or blueberry with some sweeteners. These taste like fruit yoghurt. Have you tried the flavoured ones?

Never tried it and never will - I don’t even like yogurt. It sounds beyond foul!

You taking about the yogurt sort of kefir?

I Like it. I buy it from Aldi and have it most days. It’s just like a more runny Greek yogurt to me.

i prefer just natural, but you can get ones with added friut.

I really like sour tasting things. Especially on something sweet like fruit or a crumble. It’s a bonus that it’s actually good me me!

I actually really like it. I’m not sure why! I like the Biotiful kefir drinks. Esp the honey and ginger one.

I like it but I do also like sour yogurt. I make my own Kefir. Not sure if the ready made one tastes different.

KEFIR

A fermented drink: Kefir is produced by fermenting milk (cow, goat, sheep) with kefir grains, which are gelatinous, cauliflower-like clusters of bacteria and yeasts.

Are you really shocked that it tastes like shit? Look what it's made of! ^
