Cultures for Health Water Kefir GIVEAWAY!

Wellness Mama 168 Comments

1410 1 Cultures for Health Water Kefir GIVEAWAY! I’m so glad to be able to offer another awesome giveaway this week and share a product I’ve fallen in love with! I recently discovered the probiotic and vitamin rich beverages Water Kefir and Kombucha, and was so excited to find an inexpensive and homemade source of probiotcs.

Even better, these beverages can be carbonated to taste like natural soda! While I’ve never missed the high fructose corn syrup and sickeningly sweet taste of regular soda, I’ve always enjoyed the carbonation, especially during early pregnancy. Now there an alternative that is not only free of harmful ingredients, but is actually good for you!

Cultures for Health, the company I ordered my water kefir grains from, has agreed to giveaway a Water Kefir starter set to one of my readers! This set comes with the water kefir grains, a bamboo strainer and all the instructions needed to get started making your own natural soda.

I’d also encourage you to check out all the other great products Cultures for Health offers including the starters to make Kombucha, sour cream, milk kefir, yogurt and more!

For those not familiar with Water Kefir, it is a probiotic rich beverage that is made from a colony of beneficial yeast and bacteria in a sugar water solution. The yeasts/bacteria eat the sugar and create the probiotics. This FAQ has a lot more information about Water Kefir.

These water kefir grains are reusable and mine have been creating a new 1/2 gallon batch of water kefir every 24-48 hours. With the proper care, they can last indefinitely, so your probiotics are literally pennies a glass! (Did I mention it gets carbonated like soda?!)

If you’ve been working to get more probiotics in your diet or are still struggling to kick a soda habit, I really recommend that you try water kefir.

I signed up for the Cultures of Health Newsletter. I’ve been experimenting with my veggie ferments and we’re trying to eat them twice a day. A probiotic drink would be a great addition! (My kids miss juice and lemonade!)

Have you added any flavors to your kefir? I fell in love with a citrus kombucha but its too expensive and I’ve only bought it for 2 special occasions. I found in Nourishing Traditions a recipe on Kombucha, but it looked laborious….. so I signed up for the Cultures for Life newsletter and hope to learn more!

I’ve added grape, blueberry, pomegranate, and others. Citrus is good
too, though it gets stringy if you let it ferment for too long. I’d
definitely encourage trying to make it… so much cheaper… and
better in my opinion!

I subscribed again to the newsletter. I LOVE any kind of Kefir becasue I have always had digestive issues (it’s a long story as to why…mostly WAAAY overmedicated all my life!) and I’ve recently been diagnised with IBS…probiotics are a life saver!! I feel so much more healthy and I love being an example and encouragement to my friends (especially the ones who were afraid of cultures! )

Also signed up for Cultures for Health’s Newsletter. My husband and I have been talking about ordering some kefir and water kefir grains from Cultures for Health. I’ve been really pushing for the water kefir because he’s been a champ about quitting drinking soda, but he’s missing the carbonation more than anything. We make kombucha, but it’s not quite doing the trick

We love water kefir… and makes a great summer drink. Sadly our water kefir grains died last winter when we didn’t use sugar for several months.

I have subscribed to the cultures for Health newsletter. I love how much of a boost probiotics give the immune system. Last I read, 70 to 80% of our immune systems are actually dependent on probiotic bacteria in the intestines. I definitely notice a different while eating/drinking fermented products. xD I also used to eat sauerkraut before bed to get rid of bloating and wake up with a flat tummy! Also, these foods are tasty and easily digestible. I think that might put a bit of a dent into why I love fermented foods/drinks.

I also signed up for your weekly newsletter. Silly question; do I have to comment for each thing I do, or can I just do a list and have it all count still? xD
