Equipment
- Reliable Blender
- Liquid Measuring Cup
Ingredients
- 1 Cup Mixed berries Use fresh berries; if not available, use frozen berries to give a natural chill and vibrant flavor.
- 2 Servings Kefir (almond or plain) Choose between almond or plain kefir for a rich, probiotic boost—quality matters for a great taste.
- 1 Cup Additional berries Adds extra vibrant flavor; can use any variety (blueberries, strawberries, raspberries).
- ½ Unit Banana Provides natural sweetness and creaminess to the smoothie.
- 1 tsp Butter Contributes a subtle richness that balances the tangy kefir.
- ½ Cup Liquid base Use milk kefir or an alternative (like coconut milk kefir for dairy‑free); adjust for desired consistency.
- 2 tsb Vanilla extract Brings a warm, aromatic finish; use medium teaspoons and adjust to taste.
Instructions
Combine the Ingredients
- Begin by adding your frozen, mixed berries to the blender. Pour in the two servings of kefir (whether you prefer almond or plain) and add one cup of berries for extra flavor. Next, slice a half banana and drop it into the mix. Measure out a teaspoon of butter to introduce a subtle creaminess, then add half a cup of liquid along with several teaspoons of vanilla extract. This carefully layered approach ensures every ingredient—from the tang of fermented milk kefir to the sweetness of banana—is perfectly balanced.
- Blend Until Smooth
- Secure the blender lid and blend on high speed until the mixture turns silky smooth. The aim is to achieve a texture reminiscent of a drinkable yogurt, where the almond kefir and frozen fruits merge into a light, slightly fizzy consistency. The process is simple: let the blender work its magic until the vanilla and berry flavors are fully combined.
- Serve Immediately
- Once the blend is smooth, pour your kefir smoothie into tall glasses and enjoy immediately to benefit from its fresh probiotics. Alternatively, if you’d like a refreshing twist, pour the mixture into popsicle molds and freeze for a delightful treat on a warm day.
