Okroshka with kvass and chicken - FAQ About Ingredients, Baking Time and Storage

Yes, if kvass is unavailable, you can use chilled kombucha, diluted kefir, or even carbonated water with a squeeze of lemon for a similar tangy flavor.
The chopped okroshka base (without kvass) keeps well for up to 2 days refrigerated in an airtight container. Add kvass and dressing only before serving for best texture.
Omit the chicken and use plant-based protein like boiled chickpeas or diced tofu. Ensure your kvass is vegetarian (some contain honey) or use a vegetarian-friendly substitute.
