This simple and delicious strawberry kefir smoothie is a go-to breakfast at our house! It has only 4 ingredients, but it’s sweet and tasty and full of probiotic goodness thanks to the kefir!This recipe is also really versatile. Sometimes we add one cup of another fruit in place of 1 cup of the strawberries. Some of our favorites include:
- clementine wedges
- banana
- frozen berry mix
- pineapple
- greens (usually spinach, and usually in addition to the 3 cups of fruit)
I used to put banana in every. single. smoothie. I ever made. One day I ran out of bananas and found a bag of grapes in my freezer that I’d forgotten about, so I threw them in my smoothie that morning. And now I buy at least 10 lbs of grapes every time they go on sale. They are SO delicious in smoothies and a great complement to a lot of flavors, especially berries!
Strawberry Kefir Smoothie
Ingredients:
- 2 cups kefir (or plain yogurt)
- 20-25 drops liquid stevia, or other sweetener to taste
- 1 cup frozen grapes
- 2 cups frozen strawberries
Directions:
- Add all ingredients to a high powered blender (Blendtec or Vitamix) in order listed.
- Process until smooth.
- Enjoy!
Notes:
- If your kefir is room temperature, then your smoothie will be thinner. (Mine is usually room temp because I usually strain it right into my blender and use it right away, or right after a second ferment) If you use refrigerated kefir, it will have a thicker consistency. Think Jamba Juice.
- To freeze grapes, wash and let dry. Place in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet lined with parchment or a silicone mat. Place in freezer until grapes are frozen. Add frozen grapes to a freezer-safe plastic bag, then return to the freezer OR make your own smoothie packs!
- To make your own smoothie packs, add all fruit for your smoothie to a quart-size plastic freezer bag. Place in freezer. When ready to make a smoothie, pour contents of smoothie bag into blender with liquid of choice (always kefir over here!) and blend. This makes smoothies SOOOO fast and convenient!
