Equipment
- High speed blender
- Ice Cube Tray
Ingredients
- ½ cup Plain whole‑milk kefir For freezing into kefir cubes (see note); contributes to creamy texture
- 1 cup Fresh raspberries You may strain to remove raspberry seeds for smoother purée
- 2 large Mint leaves Fresh; adds refreshing flavor balance
- 1 tablespoon Honey Optional; adds natural sweetness without refined sugar
- ¼ cup Plain whole‑milk kefir Liquid form; boosts flavor, texture, and probiotic support
- 4 cubes Kefir ice cubes Frozen kefir; helps keep the smoothie cold and creamy
- Additional fresh raspberries Optional garnish; supports flavor and vibrant presentation
- Additional mint leaves Optional garnish; enhances aroma and freshness
Instructions
Make kefir ice cubes.
- Pour plain kefir into an ice cube tray (about 2 tablespoons per cube) and freeze overnight. Keep these kefir cubes in a freezer bag for your smoothie.
Blend the fruit.
- Put the raspberries into the blender and puree them until smooth (you should have a rough raspberry puree).
Add the rest.
- Add the fresh mint leaves, honey, the remaining liquid kefir, and the kefir cubes to the blender. The mint gives a cool lift, and the frozen kefir cubes make it creamy.
Blend until smooth.
- Blend on high until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy. No chunks of raspberry or ice should remain. If it’s too thick, add a splash of more kefir or a little water; if it’s too thin, add more frozen kefir or a small banana.
Taste and adjust.
- Give the smoothie a quick taste. Add a little more honey if you want it sweeter. Blend again briefly if you added anything.
Serve.
- Pour into a glass and garnish with extra raspberries or a mint sprig if you like. Enjoy this frosty, flavorful smoothie right away for the best taste and texture.
Notes
Freeze kefir into cubes for creamy texture without watering it down. Adjust mint to taste. A bright and healthy sip in every glass!
