Mixed Berry Kefir Smoothie
Tasty and refreshing milk kefir smoothie filled with vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and probiotics. Easy and sweet-tooth satisfying!
Equipment
- 1 wide mouth quart size mason jar
- 1 immersion blender
Ingredients
- 2 cups homemade milk kefir
- 1 cup frozen mixed berries
- 1 tbsp honey
- 1 banana optional
Instructions
- Add homemade milk kefir, frozen mixed berries, and honey to a wide mouth quart size mason jar.
- Using the immersion blender, blend until smooth.
- Serve immediately or freeze for later.
Notes
- This recipe is perfect for a single serving. Can be multiplied any number of times according to how many servings you wish to make.
- Frozen or fresh fruit can be used. May wish to add ice if using fresh fruit.
- This recipe makes a TART berry smoothie. To tame down the level of tartness, feel free to add in 1 banana. The banana will also make it slightly more creamy.
- Honey is my favorite sweetener, but you can use other sweeteners such as maple syrup.
- I use a wide mouth quart size mason jar and immersion blender because I am usually only making 1 serving at a time, and I think it is quick and easy with minimal clean up. You can use a regular blender for this recipe as well.
- Add a handy wide mouth mason jar lid with an easy-pour spout to take this smoothie on the go!
- Can be used to make a smoothie bowl. I would suggest pouring your desired amount into a freezer-safe bowl, and put in the freezer for 5-10 minutes to help it solidify a little more. Then take out and top with fruit, seeds, nuts, honey, etc.
- Can also be used to make popsicles. Simply pour into popsicle molds and freeze.
- This smoothie is a great way to work in extra goodies:
- spinach
- kale
- nut butters
- collagen powder
- protein powder
- powdered supplements
- chia seeds
- anything you can think of- very easy to tweak according to your health goals and taste buds
