  • Maya Krikke

    Maya Krikke

    Maya Krikke is the sole parent of a little boy and produces a probiotic drink called MYK’s Kefir using whole fruit.
    A lot of people associated kefir with milk-based products but I use water kefir grains, that consume the glucose in sugar, and then I do a secondary ferment with fruit. I also have a processed-sugar-free range based on honey.
