Morning Smoothies

The best way to incorporate homemade milk kefir into your daily life is with a morning smoothie.  

This very berry smoothie is flavorful, probiotic rich, and loved by everyone in our family.

Frozen fruit gives it the consistency of a thin sorbet. My kids just love this smoothie for breakfast!

It’s a great way to sneak in probiotics, especially when they are over eating yogurt. My kids always go through phases where they either love yogurt and can’t get enough or they are totally over it. 

So when that happens, I like to switch it up. This smoothie is a great way to get in all those good bacteria for their gut.

Also, it works great when we have busy morning where we have to be somewher. We can easily whip this recipe up and enjoy a delicious and healthy drink.

Benefits of Kefir

If you are totally new to fermented foods, milk kefir is a fantastic way to begin.

The process is so simple to make that you can’t really mess it up. It requires no specific temperature to culture like yogurt does. You can find out how to make milk kefir here.

You can easily find good quality milk kefir at your local grocery store. But it is really really simple to make. I promise.

WHY PROBIOTICS?

Everyone knows by now just how important probiotics are to the body.  So many things in our modern lifestyles wreak havoc on the living organisms that inhabit a healthy digestive tract, otherwise known as our gut flora.

It is widely known that antibiotics like penicillin and amoxicilln destroy healthy gut flora.

But, our modern diet, full of non-organic meats, plenty of processed sugar and the USDA’s recommended 11 servings of grains per day is also responsible for poor gut health.

Since imbalanced gut flora can contribute to degenerative diseases like cancer and also hamper the effectiveness of our immune system, it is vitally important to rebuild a damaged gut.

Enter….fermented foods and for the purpose of today’s discussion, specifically, kefir.  If you want to learn how to make your own milk kefir, I wrote a post all about it HERE.

Tips For Making Kefir Smoothies:

• Switch up the berries if you would like. Use blackberries instead of raspberries etc.
• If you do not have any kefir, you could substitute it with 1 cup yogurt with 3 cups of milk. That way you still get the good probiotics.
• Add a spoonful or two of nut butter or collagen peptides for some extra protein.
• Want to add some veggies to this recipe? Add a handful of spinach or kale. The kids won’t be able to even taste it.
