Ingredients

  • 4 cups kefir 950 mL
  • 1 cup fruit like chopped strawberries, blueberries, or chopped peaches
  • 2 Tbsp sweetener like sugar, honey, or maple syrup

Instructions

  • Flavor: Choose your desired flavor and sweetener, then add them to a blender along with kefir.

  • Blend: Blend until smooth. Serve chilled!

Notes

Store in an airtight container or sealed jar in the fridge for up to three days. The drink may separate slightly as it sits, which is normal. Give it a quick stir or shake before serving.
Can I use non-dairy kefir? Yes! Coconut milk kefir is the creamiest non-dairy option and works well with tropical fruits like mango and pineapple. Oat kefir is milder and slightly sweeter, which pairs naturally with blueberry or strawberry. Both tend to be less tart than dairy kefir, so start with less sweetener and adjust to taste.
