It looks like you could accomplish a similar thing making beet kvass with a

carrot and ginger added to it.

" Kefir beer " works well for me as a non-dairy probiotic.

The family likes it too (they raided my supply of blackberry

kefir beer!). I use a kefir grain with some juice+sugar (if it is

low-sugar juice) and ferment it dry, then add a tiny bit of

sugar (1/4 tsp per bottle) before bottling it in ezcap bottles,

which makes it fizz nicely. It doesn't keep well, you need to

drink it within a month or so or it goes sour (and makes

nice vinegar ...). But it has the same probiotic effect on

me as kefir does, YMMV.
