Kefir Whey (Making Kefir part 3 of 3)

Draining the kefir to make it thicker gives the added benefit of separating out the whey.

Do you buy whey powder to add to your smoothies and protein shakes? Well the whey from kefir is the same as that, only fresher and still alive, so therefore I would assume better.

Whey protein is one of the best protein sources there is, and some research suggests it can help reduce risk factors for neuro-degenerative diseases like Alzheimer's. It contains amino acids that are easily absorbed by the digestive tract.

More importantly, it's rich in the precursors for N-acetylcholine (NAC). NAC is an immune-boosting amino acid complex that helps the body make glutathione, an antioxidant enzyme that is vital in protecting all the cell membranes in your body from free-radical damage. NAC also chelates mercury and other toxic heavy metals from the body.

Look at that whey, a by-product of making yummy kefir, and be thoroughly impressed by its health benefits.

Larry puts it into smoothies. I just drink it straight. It's tangy but not really flavored. And I imagine how happy it is making all the cells of my body.

It is so cool to be making power foods in my kitchen!
