Kefir and drinking yogurt

Yogurt and its 'cousins' have been in our diets for as long as we remember because it's very nutritious and gives you a natural boost. 

The natural process of making yogurt implies the bacterial fermentation of milk, a process that produces lactic acid which in turn gets the milk to curdle. 

Yogurt has small quantities of almost every nutrient required by your body, such as Calcium, Vitamins B | B12, riboflavin, phosphorus, magnesium, potassium and is naturally high in protein.

Kefir on the other hand distinguishes itself by being a fermented milk drink thinner in consistency, which makes it more of a drink, comparable to yogurt. Kefir has a sour taste and  its flavor is determined by the length of fermentation.

The process of making kefir implies using kefir grains and cow milk, where the grains are small jelly-like pearls which contain a wide assortment of bacteria and yeasts.
