Can you store extra kefir smoothies in the refrigerator for a few days or will it ferment and turn sour?
Hey Robin – great question! You can definitely make extra kefir smoothies and store for a day or two. However, I have noticed that the texture changes a bit. Stirring often helps.
I you plan to make ahead and save, store your extra smoothie in the fridge, covered, and in a glass container. Cold helps to slow the fermentation process. And sealing out any air helps as well.
If you find that a kefir smoothie tastes off, then it’s likely that it’s been left too long or that your kefir is bad.
Hope that helps!
