be nourished. feed your gut microbiome.

kefir makes me emotional tbh

checking in on the jar periodically so it doesn't overferment, picking the right time to strain it carefully, drinking it and savouring its unconventional sour taste. loving it even if others think it's something that's hard to love. taking care of your scoby every single day as a ritual. knowing your scoby is alive, and when you feed it it feeds you in return. the unspoken exchange of i will do my best to take care of you and i know you will do the same for me.

just... yeah

it's okay if you couldn't finish your glass today. it's okay if you only managed to have a sip.

even a tablespoon of kefir contains billions of probiotics.

[kefirsuggestion]

if you strained and drank your kefir today? good job

if you didn't have any kefir today? good job

your worth isnt tied to the amount of kefir you get in every day. it's a marathon, not a sprint.

[kefirsuggestion]

hey. i know it's been a tough day. i know you're tired and everything feels especially hopeless and you just wanna give up sometimes. but you'll feel better if you take the effort and strain that kefir. yeah, that jar in your fridge that you've been giving guilty looks for a while now.

the bacteria inside you would really appreciate the help, wouldn't they?

your gut microbiome is a part of your body. be kind to it.

if you forgot to drink your kefir for a while, or if you weren't able to for some reason, that's alright. it isn't good, but life happens and we all struggle sometimes.

just make sure you drink some today, okay?

[kefirsuggestion]

even if your standard is homemade?

sometimes, you drink storebought. and it can be for any reason at all.

that reason is valid.

[kefirsuggestion]

forgot to strain today?

it's alright. even if your kefir is overfermented.

it's okay to still drink it.

stir it up, and embrace the change in texture.

life doesn't always go how you plan. sometimes, it changes you in a way you don't expect, and in a way you can't reverse. and that's okay.

if the kefir is clumpy, overfermented, more sour than usual, and what others label "unpleasant" to drink? that just means it contains more beneficial bacteria for your gut microbiome.

embrance change.
