So Delicious kefir is kosher certified, but it is certified “D.E.,” which means it is manufactured on equipment that also handles dairy ingredients for other products. Surprisingly each version contains a few grams of fiber and a very respectable level of sugars. An entire cup yields just 6g of fat in the original, and 5g of fat in the two flavored varieties. Since it is made with coconut milk it is a bit higher in fat, but not as much as you might think.
