We’re all for conserving resources here at Lifeway – our kefir bottles are recyclable and our plants use renewable sources of energy - but we’re not quite sure what to make of this new dairy trend.
It’s breast milk cheese.

We recently heard from a mother about her success with weaning her two-year-old off of formula. Well, at first, there was actually zero success. Her little boy fussed and cried when she tried to hand him a sippy cup full of milk, and was forever reaching for the bottle. She was almost at the end of her rope when another mom told her her secret for a smooth formula-to-milk transition: Kefir!

During a standing-room-only media conference held today at the Hard Rock North Pole, Santa Claus shocked reporters when he announced he will no longer be accepting glasses of milk left by the fire this Christmas.
“Enough with the milk, already!” Claus bellowed. “Many people don’t know this, because I tend to keep my health matters pretty private, but I’m lactose intolerant. Just a few sips are enough to throw my GI system totally off-kilter for the night. I usually pour it in a dish and feed it to Donner and Blitzen because I’m on an eco-kick and hate to see it go to waste. But this year, I’m standing up for Number One and asking children and parents across the globe, ‘Could you please lay off the milk?’ The truth is, I prefer kefir.”
A hush fell across the room as reporters glanced at each other, silently mouthing, “What’s kefir?!”
Noticing their confusion, Claus clarified, “Kefir is a cultured dairy drink that offers 10 strains of live and active cultures, also known as ‘good bacteria.’ I’ll only drink Lifeway kefir, manufactured in suburban Chicago. It’s a nice stopping point for me and the ‘deer, located exactly halfway between India and Hawaii.”
