About Happy Gut

Consumers are on the lookout for a quick way to incorporate more gut-friendly foods into their diet. Water kefir is one of the fastest ferments that they can easily make at home. Sometimes known as tibicos, water kefir is made from bacterial cultures that resemble plump, translucent grains. Water kefir is a great substitute for sugary soda that is laden with additives and artificial sweeteners. It is also a great alternative to kombucha, which can have an intense vinegar flavour, is caffeinated and takes 15 days to make. Not to be confused with milk kefir, the grains that ferment water kefir are distinctly different from their milk counterparts and will not work in dairy. They look different as well. Water kefir is completely dairy free, caffeine free, gluten free and vegan. It can be used to ferment nut milks, coconut water and coconut cream for yogurt. Water kefir is simple to make at home and is typically ready in 48 hours. Our woman owned company provides one on one brewing support, instructional videos, informative newsletters and hundreds of recipes. Our mission is to ensure that every customer is successful at making it. Happy Gut Pro is proud to have been featured on Dragon's Den in 2019. Read their story
