Guest guest Posted May 2, 2012 Report Share Posted May 2, 2012 Hi , Your target amount will depend on how much you want to drink. For me, one glass of kefir a day is good. You don’t need to take a lot. What I do is make one 10 oz. glass each day and scoop out about 1/4 cup for hubby who doesn’t tolerate much dairy, and a couple of teaspoons in saucers for the dogs. I drink the rest because I love the stuff. A very small amount provides lots of probiotic value and it is easy to drink too much. My kids take probiotic capsules because they are dairy allergic too – not severely but it does affect them. From: bsbierle Sent: Wednesday, May 02, 2012 2:20 PM Subject: [!! SPAM] Ongoing supply for a family of four/five First of all, I am new to this group and have found it to be a huge source of information, so thank you for that. I just received our milk and water grains today. We have not used cow's milk for a year as we have a dairy allergy in the family. So, we've all switched to almond milk. Under Marilyn's advice, I am going to get my water grains going and multiplying, then work with the almond milk with the extras to find the right mix for my dairy allergy child. In the meantime, our hope is to get the milk ones going for the rest of our family. We don't have a source of raw milk so will use organic (best we can do right now). One of my questions is this: What kind of target should I have to support four family members using the milk kefir? I'm not used to having a lot of milk in the fridge, and I am thinking I will try to get to the point of figuring out how much we would use daily, primarily in smoothies. Anyone have a ball park estimate of where that may fall? We are also hoping that, with time, we can add my allergic son to the mix so then we would have 5 using the milk kefir. I'm not as concerned with totals for the water as I hope to use that for special " drinks " for my kids. We don't do a lot of soda, so this may be a good alternative to water. But, on the flip side, is there a point where, between the milk, and water/almond kefir, that my kids would be drinking too much? (Especially if I am using up the grains by eating them as well?) Hope that makes sense. Thanks in advance for your help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
