Star Fruit - Chicago, IL Review

We had to try STARFRUIT, the new kefir smoothie frozen desert heaven that opened in Bucktown.  Kefir is similar to yogurt but more active, probiotic cultures. 

At Starfruit, there was a line out the door, and we instantly knew why.  The place is bursting with a bright and happy vibe.  My 9 year old is a Kefir fanatic, he drinks a glass with breakfast and brings one in his lunch.  His favorites flavors are peach and pomegranate.  We tried a frozen kefir , which tasted sort of like frozen yogurt although the flavor seemed more authentic and light.  And, drumroll, it was easy on the stomach! 

Starfruit has so many mix-ins to try it was hard to narrow it down.  Truly fresh fruit, real nuts, milk & honey granola (a household favorite) and a range of sweeter options like peanut butter cups and cupcakes from Alliance Bakery.  They also make smoothies with the kefir and again you can add from their selections of mix-ins.   The staff were kind and helpful.  My son noticed they use spoons and cups that are biodegradable.  Very Cool!

 I can't wait to go back to Starfruit to try more combinations!
