    Ingredients In Strawberry Kefir Ice Cream

    • Strawberry Lifeway Kefir
    • Fresh strawberries- Hulled and cleaned.
    • Lemon juice- To add a tangy kick and protect the color of the berries in the freezer.
    • Maple Syrup- To make the ice cream just a little sweeter.

    What is Kefir?

    Kefir is a tart and tangy cultured milk. It is full of good for you probiotics and is high in calcium and protein. In this recipe, we are using kefir where you would normally use buttermilk. The consistency is a little thicker than buttermilk and gives this strawberry ice cream a tang that you don't get from regular milk.

      may I ask what is the rationale behind cutting the sweetness of the berries with lemon juice and then adding maple syrup? could the recipe be done without the lemon juice and maple syrup? or do they add to the ice cream texture?

        Hi! Yes, you can make this recipe without the lemon juice and the maple syrup and you would like. The lemon juice brings out a brightness and gives a contrast to the sweetness of the berries and the maple syrup. You can use honey or sugar or leave it out completely. There are lots of options!
