Equipment

  • 1 blender

Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup 1% lowfat, strawberry kefir (could substitute with Greek yogurt or preferred milk or unsweetened kefir)

  • 1 cup frozen berry blend (blueberries, blackberries, and raspberries) (could substitute with other frozen or fresh berries)
  • 1/2 cup water (more or less for desired consistency)

Instructions

Add Ingredients to Blender

  • Add kefir (or other liquid) first.
  • Add frozen berries, ground flax seeds, and water. Add protein powder, if desired.

Blend Smoothie

  • Blend for approximately 30 to 60 seconds depending on your blender's power. Smoothie should be smooth.
  • Use ice cubes to thicken and water to thin to your desired consistency. Made per recipe, I added 1/2 cup of water for my preferred consistency.
