How to make it keto
Crucially, ask for it without kvass (fermented bread drink) and without potatoes, which are staple ingredients in traditional Okroshka. Ensure no added sugar in the kefir or sour cream base.
Watch out for
Traditional Okroshka relies heavily on kvass (a high-carb fermented bread drink) and often contains boiled potatoes. These must be strictly omitted. Some restaurant kefirs or sour creams might have added sugars, or chefs may add sugar for taste.
