Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup coconut kefir homemade or store-bought
  • ½ cup water or extra coconut water
  • 1 cup frozen mixed berries or 1 cup fresh fruit such as berries, 3/4 cup (100 g blueberries, or strawberries)
  • 1 cup frozen papaya chunks or swap for mango/pineapple in variations
  • ½ ripe banana or extra banana slices for garnish
  • 1 tsp chia seeds
  • 1 tbsp peanut butter or 1 tbsp maple syrup optional sweetness
  • 1/4 tsp cinnamon and a splash of vanilla optional flavor boosters
  • Hemp hearts a handful for texture
  • 1 tbsp honey or date syrup to taste
  • Optional add-ins: protein powder lime zest, mint leaves, or Coconut Kefir for branded flair

Equipment

  • High speed blender (for a super-smooth puree)
  • Measuring cups and spoons (including a 1 tbsp measure)
  • Fine-mesh coffee filter or nut-milk bag
  • Jar or container for culturing (a quart-size mason jar works best)
  • Clean towel for covering
  • Rubber band to secure your cover
  • Strainer to remove grains

Method
 

Prepare Your Kefir Culture
  1. Activate your grains by culturing them in sugar water (¼ cup sugar + 1 quart water) for 24–48 hours.
  2. After 3 weeks of routine batches, you’ll have good water kefir. Strain and reserve 1 cup coconut water kefir, then remove grains and set them aside in fresh sugar water.
Blend the Smoothie
  1. Place kefir, ½ cup water, frozen berries, papaya chunks, banana, and chia seeds into your blender.
  2. Blend on high until silky smooth, no chunks left.
  3. Taste and refresh sweetness with honey, maple syrup, or a drizzle of date syrup as desired.
Serve
  1. Pour into a chilled glass or into a jar for on-the-go.
  2. Top with banana slices, extra berries, a sprinkle of flaked coconut, or a sprig of mint.
