Nourishing Kefir Spritzer

This kefir spritzer is a refreshing and healthy way to start your day or cool down after a workout. It's made with just a few simple ingredients, and it's packed with probiotics, antioxidants, and vitamins.

I first discovered kefir while I was living in Russia. It's a fermented milk drink that's similar to yogurt, but it has a thinner consistency and a slightly tart flavor. I loved the way it made me feel, and I started drinking it every day.
