Peach Ginger Kefir Smoothie
Ingredients
Equipment
Method
- Prep Your Ingredients- Peel the 1 inch chunk of fresh ginger and slice it thin for easier blending. Cube or slice the fresh peaches. If using frozen peaches, measure them ahead of time. Make sure your kefir is chilled before use for best flavor.
- Blend It All Together- In your high-powered blender pitcher, combine the kefir, peaches (both fresh and frozen), banana (if using), ginger, yogurt or coconut oil, chia or flaxseeds, vanilla extract, lime juice, and your choice of sweetener. Blend on high until smooth and creamy.
- Taste & Adjust- Taste the smoothie. If it needs more sweetness, add a little more honey or maple syrup. Want a spicier kick? Toss in another pinch of dried ginger powder or fresh ginger. If it’s too thick, add more kefir or peach nectar. For a thicker texture, add extra frozen banana or 1/4 – 1/2 cup ice.
- Serve & Enjoy- Pour the smoothie evenly into two glasses. Garnish with fresh peach slices if you like. Serve immediately and enjoy that first creamy sip!
