Nope. Labneh and kefir are NOT the same and are made differently.
Labneh is pretty much just drained yogurt. I love the stuff.
Kefir is made by a different process.
According to
http://www.kefir.net
Both kefir and yogurt are cultured milk products but they contain
different types of beneficial bacteria... Kefir contains several
major strains of friendly bacteria not commonly found in yogurt,
Lactobacillus Caucasus, Leuconostoc, Acetobacter species, and
Streptococcus species... It also contains beneficial yeasts, such as
Saccharomyces kefir and Torula kefir...

I used to love kefir, but i'm not happy with the flavor or texture of
two brands currently most available here.
