Kefir Mousse
Kefir mousse is so easy to make! It has a special soluble fiber that keeps you full and feeds your microbiome while supplying a myriad of health benefits. Xanthan gum is the ingredient that turns kefir into a mousse texture. Xanthan gum is a coating from a particular bacteria, Xanthomonas campestris. This bacteria grows a protective coating. Think of it like an orange peel or the skin of an onion. When fed a particular food, this bacteria's coating becomes very sticky and makes a great binding and thickening agent in recipes. We have two recipes but you can experiment and try to make your own version. It's super simple and you only need a high-speed blender and a spoon!
