Pardon the insanity of this post, although I would imagine that you’re used to my craziness by now, right? You already know that I am obsessed with jars, that I buy hundreds of pounds of wheat at one time and that I love my butter and cream. But did you know that I also really love fizz?

 

You might have had a clue that fizz is my friend if you remember my former Pepsi addiction. After I gave up Pepsi, I’ve really missed the fizz, which led me to figure out some healthier alternatives to soda. But healthier yet is making water kefir soda, which not only has fizz…it’s wonderful for your digestion!

 

If you want a little fizz in your life and you also want a healthy gut, try making water kefir soda!!! It’s inexpensive, easy and look…there’s lots and lots of fizz!!

 

If you’re not a big fan of fizz, you can still use Water Kefir Grains to make a very healthy digestive drink, just don’t allow it to become fizzy. I’ll work on a post in the future with a step by step picture tutorial of how to make water kefir, but really, if you get the water kefir grains starter kit, all of the instructions are right there and very simple to follow.

 

Now, just to prove that you can make an incredible amount of fizz with homemade water kefir soda, I took a short video of my fizz. I could have captured one of my children doing something amazing on the soccer field to show you, but no. Instead, I made a movie of my fizz. Be sure to turn your volume up so that you can hear the fizz doing it’s fizzy magic.

Weren’t the bubbles beautiful?

 

So how about the taste of this grape water kefir soda? Eh, it’s gonna need to grow on me a little bit. I can’t say that I just love how it tastes. But it’s not bad, and because I know it’s so good for me and because of all the wonderful fizz, I am drinking it happily.

 

Do you love fizz, or would you rather a drink be free of bubbles? Fizz lovers, seriously, it’s all about the burn, is it not?

 

You can find a very reasonably priced Water Kefir Grains Kit through Cultures for Health. If you purchase through this link, I’ll earn a small percentage of that purchase. But that’s not the reason I’m telling you about this great product. It’s about healthy digestion, and of course, it’s really all about the fizz.

Make Water Kefir (with a giveaway!)

Water Kefir is something I’ve been wanting to make for a couple of years now, I just needed to get a little more comfortable with “culturing” first. I feel like I’ve about mastered buttermilk, yogurt and milk kefir now…so I decided to try my hand at water kefir.

Here’s why I’ve been excited to try Water Kefir:

  • It’s super good for your digestion.
  • You can make different flavors and varieties.
  • It can take the place of soda (pop) as a healthy alternative!

Yeah, that’s probably the real reason I wanted to try Water Kefir. I gave up all forms of soda six years ago and I would love to drink something fizzy like this that’s GOOD for me. I’ve also been excited to make this as a fun and healthy drink for my family.

I received water kefir grains from Cultures for Health a couple of weeks ago and got started on the process. It’s not one bit difficult to make water kefir, you just have to baby your kefir grains for a little while until you get used to the process. I’m brand new at this, so I’m still getting used to it!

Here are my re-hydrated kefir grains all ready to go!

This is my experiment with making “grape soda”. It’s so-so. I’ve gotta keep playing and improving!
Mine’s not as bubbly as I would like it to be yet. But I’ll get there, because I’m all about the fizz. :)

I’ll try to keep you posted on how my Water Kefir experimenting goes. In the meantime, would you like to win some Water Kefir Grains so you can play along with me? Cultures for Health, my go-to source for all of my buttermilk, kefir, sour cream and yogurt cultures, is offering to give away a Water Kefir Starter Kit to one reader here.


To enter this giveaway, you must follow this link to Cultures for Health!

We’ll draw a random winner on Monday, May 23.
