  • ½ frozen banana adds creaminess and potassium
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract optional

Equipment

  • 1 High-Powered Blender
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • 2 Glasses or jars for serving

Method
 

Liquid First:
  1. Pour 250 ml of Kefir and 90 ml whole milk (or almond milk) into the blender.
Add Fruits & Greens:
  1. Layer 2 cups frozen mixed berries, ½ frozen banana, and 1 cup spinach on top, this order helps the blades move freely.
Include Oats & Seeds:
  1. Add 10 g oats and 1 tbsp chia seeds for extra fiber and nutritious texture.
Sweeten & Flavor:
  1. Scoop in 1 scoop protein powder, 2 tbsp maple syrup, and 1 tsp vanilla extract, if desired.
Blend Away:
  1. Secure the lid and wizz on high until completely smooth for about 30–45 seconds.
Adjust Consistency:
  1. If too thick, add a splash of Kefir or milk; if too thin, toss in a few more frozen berries.

Notes

  • Blending Order Matters: Liquids first, soft fruits next, and frozen items last for optimal blade movement.
  • Adjust Sweetness: Taste as you go, berry ripeness varies, so you may need less or more maple syrup.
  • Keep It Chilled: For an extra refreshing texture, add a few ice cubes.
