Awesome product. Water kefir travelled well and took off in no time. Great customer service. Recommended!
I love making and consuming water kefir, it is one of my favourite drinks to make! I have been brewing it for a few years now with a brew kit I received as a gift. I've gone through a few grain packages since then, because they had depleted over time. What I've learned the trick is to not let it ferment too long, otherwise the sugar will all be consumed and will starve the culture, thus being depleted. I now aim to bottle every second day when possible, which keeps the grains well fed and makes for a better flavour as well. Basically, I am continuously brewing it, since my water isn't chlorinated, I don't bother boiling and cooling prior to brewing. I just bottle, add the grains back to the jar, add the sugar (I use straight coconut sugar), fill with cool water, stir, let ferment and repeat the process every couple of days. This means I am in constant supply of water kefir, which I am drinking all the time, hopefully it's not too much of a good thing, but I'm sure my gut is thankful for it. I seldom add fruit juice or allow for much carbonation, I enjoy it just the way it is. Once I bottle, it goes in the fridge, which I enjoy until my next batch is ready. Cheers!
The grains were shipped promptly, packaged well and with instructions. As for the grains, so far so good. They are doing well but I also bought a "sourdough starter warmer" from Amazon as it seems the sugar consumption or "brew" time was inconsistent with the day/night temperature changes in winter. This seems to help in that regard. I am enjoying drinking the water kefir and easier to make than yogurt. Good stuff all around!
Elderberry infusion adds a great flavour to my Keifer water. It’s so easy to use and makes a wonderful addition to my water. I have trouble deciding between the blueberry or elderberry.
So so good! Will buy this again and again and again!
I recently had a knee replacement and after taking baby aspirin for a month to prevent blood clotting I began to get terrible stomach pain, which landed me in emergency. I have stomach gastritis and it hurts to eat especially in the first part of the day! I have been taking Orange/Cranberry Happy Gut every morning now for 3 weeks. (Nothing else) It replaces, the coffee and food I cannot have and is so satisfying. I look forword to it! Happy to say my stomach is slowly healing. Best medicine ever. :-)
Love this flavour! It’s my new favourite too! Fingers crossed it sticks around after the holidays 😋
So good
We took the mixed case on a family/friend trip and everyone enjoyed the selection of flavours. Blueberry and Root Beer were the front runners! It was great to have healthy options on hand that also taste delicious. Not my first time buying Happy Gut by the case, and won't be my last :)
Love this stuff. Tastes like root beer but you don’t need to feel guilty drinking it!
Love these things. I’m only a couple days we get to drink delicious and nutritious drinks. Wayyy faster and less involved than kombucha, and dare I say it tastes better!!!
I purchased the live water kefir grains. I'm on my fourth brew. I'm very happy with this purchase. I have been making Kombucha for a few years, however, this is so much easier and more cost effective and tastes better. Thank you.
Kit arrived perfectly intact. I ordered the live grains - the fermentation process was fast and the kefir is delicious!
Cranberry orange spice is my favorite and I stockpiled it so I could enjoy it after the season is done. 10/10 would recommend
I love all the flavours, but the cranberry orange spice is now my new favourite.
I’ve ordered from Happy Gut a few times and they always deliver a great product. My first order had the fermentation set and they are used every time I make water kifer. I use pineapple juice every time and it’s delicious (I get it at Costco)
The water kefir grains are working amazingly! The instructions were clear and simple. My family and I are enjoying delicious probiotic bubbly water daily! Couldn't be happier!! Thank you Happy Gut!
All the flavors are refreshing. I will be buying them again.
Always pleased with the quality of products from Happy Gut. Thank you!
All of the flavours are fantastic but root beer is definitely my go to.. fantastic alternative when you’re looking for that non-alcoholic drink.
One of my new favourites! So refreshing, and makes my gut happy! I highly recommend trying the watermelon flavour!
100% would not hesitate to recommend Happy Gut. The product and the team behind it are excellent. I hesitate to even share how much I've been able to interact with Leeza because she's been so helpful I don't want her inbox flooded! I will only say that the customer support has been well beyond what I expect, but is everything I could hope for. In addition to direct help, the periodic emails and blog updates give a lot of help.
Beyond the support, I have tried a few different Kefir grains over the years, and by far Happy Gut have been the most beneficial from a gut health perspective. The positive impact on my constitution was immediate, and far better than any other culture. I suspect this would be person-dependent, but for me HG is the answer.
Best $25 you'll ever spend, particularly if live grains are in season.
