This berry kefir smoothie is tangy, creamy, and loaded with colorful frozen fruit. It is the perfect grab-and-go breakfast or quick afternoon snack when you want something refreshing without a lot of fuss. The kefir gives it a smooth, yogurt-like texture with a little extra tang, while the mixed berries keep it bright and naturally sweet.
Ingredients
- 1 cup frozen mixed berries
- 1 medium ripe banana
- 1/2 cup plain unsweetened kefir
- 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1/4 cup rolled oats
- 1 teaspoon chia seeds
- 1/4 cup cold water or milk of choice, plus more as needed
- 1/2 teaspoon honey or maple syrup, optional
How To Make It
Add the frozen mixed berries, banana, kefir, Greek yogurt, rolled oats, chia seeds, and water to a blender. Blend on high until completely smooth and creamy, about 45 to 60 seconds. If the smoothie is too thick for your liking, add a splash more water or milk and blend again until it reaches your preferred consistency. Taste and add honey or maple syrup if you want a little extra sweetness. Pour into a glass and enjoy immediately.
Tips
For the thickest and coldest smoothie, use frozen berries and a banana that is ripe but not overripe. If you do not have kefir, you can swap it for extra Greek yogurt thinned with a little water, but the flavor will be less tangy. To make this smoothie in advance, pour it into a sealed jar and refrigerate for up to 24 hours, then shake well before drinking.
This berry kefir smoothie is a cheerful, fruity way to start the day or reset in the afternoon!
