FAQ

What is kefir and what probiotic cultures does it contain?
Kefir is a fermented drink with live cultures; it can be dairy or plant-based depending on the milk or kefir you use. Check the label for the exact cultures.
Is this dairy-free or suitable for lactose intolerance?
It depends on the kefir you choose. Use dairy-free (plant-based) kefir or lactose-free dairy kefir if needed.
Can I use dairy kefir or plant-based kefir?
Yes, both work. Dairy kefir may be creamier; plant-based kefir can be lighter. Pick based on your dietary needs.
Can I substitute mango with other fruits?
Yes. Mango adds creaminess and sweetness; try papaya, peach, pineapple, or berries and adjust sweetness.
How much sugar is in this drink?
Sugar depends on the kefir and fruit; mango has natural sugars. Using unsweetened kefir or less fruit reduces sugar.
How should I store leftovers?
Refrigerate and consume within 24–48 hours; cover and stir before drinking.
How do I adjust the turmeric or spices?
Start with about 1/4 teaspoon of turmeric and adjust to taste; it has a warm, earthy note, and too much may irritate a sensitive stomach.
Is it safe for kids or during pregnancy?
Generally safe for kids; check allergen info and dairy choices. During pregnancy, consult a healthcare provider. Culinary turmeric in normal amounts is typically safe.
How can I get a thicker or thinner consistency?
Adjust the kefir amount or add ice; use less liquid for a thicker drink or more kefir/water for a thinner one.
Can I add protein or fiber boosts?
Yes. Add chia or flax seeds, or a protein powder; note changes in texture and taste.
