Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cups cup plain whole milk kefir
  • 0.5 cups cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 1 tablespoons tbsp natural peanut butter
  • 1 frozen banana
  • 1 scoop protein powder vanilla or unflavored, optional
  • 0.5 teaspoons tsp cinnamon
  • 3 ice cubes

Equipment

  • High-Powered Blender
  • Measuring cups and spoons

Method
 

  1. Combine ingredients: Add 1 cups cup plain whole milk kefir, 0.5 cups cup plain Greek yogurt, 1 tablespoons tbsp natural peanut butter, 1 frozen banana, 1 scoop protein powder (vanilla or unflavored, optional), and 0.5 teaspoons tsp cinnamon to a high-powered blender.
  2. Blend until smooth: Add 3 ice cubes and blend on high for 30 to 45 seconds, until completely smooth and thick.
  3. Serve immediately: Pour into a glass and serve immediately for the best texture.

Notes

Freezing the banana ahead of time gives this smoothie a thick, milkshake-like texture without needing extra ice. If you skip the protein powder, the kefir and Greek yogurt alone still provide a solid protein base.
