6 Guilt Free Kefir Smoothie Recipes that will Boost Your Digestion Instantly

If you have always wanted to introduce natural probiotics, like a Kefir smoothie to your diet, but have NO idea where to start–these recipes are for you! Kefir is such a versatile cultured-food and it can be used both in sweet and savory dishes, from breakfast right through to dinner.  I have made salad dressing like in this delicious salad, or in this nutritious probiotic cream cheese like this recipe and even use it in arepas (corn cakes).

As a bonus, a lot of my smoothies are carefully crafted with Antioxidant filled super greens, healing mushrooms, top-notch grass-fed whey protein concentrate or plant-based (hello vegan friends), and other wholesome foods or supplements. Additionally, you can use almond or coconut kefir for a dairy-free version of Kefir.

6 Of The Best Healing Kefir Smoothie Recipes:

1.Choco-Chia Kefir Smoothie

Ingredients:

Liquid Ingredients:
4-5 oz water
4 oz almond or favorite milk
3 oz of Kefir

Dry Ingredients
1 scoop Garden of Life Raw Organic Meal
1 tsp cacao powder
1 tbsp chia seeds
½ tsp healing mushrooms Inner health
½ tsp healing mushrooms Reishi

Veggies and Fruits (not shown in this pic)
½ cup of fennel
½ mixed berries
a handful of arugula (helps balance hormones)
½ cup papaya

Instructions:

1. Let chia seeds expand (optional): Place the chia seeds in the water and let it soak either 20 mins before making the smoothie or the night before.  I like to do this so the chia seeds absorb the liquid, and expand here is why.

2. Place the veggies, fruits and rest of the ingredients in your Nutrininja, blender, Vitamix or favorite mixer.  Mix for about 40-50 seconds. In my Nutrininja I like to go the full 60 seconds for a very liquid consistency.

3. Serve and enjoy

2. Strawberry Vanilla-Almond Kefir Smoothie

Ingredients:

Liquid Ingredients:
4-5 oz water
4 oz vanilla almond or your favorite milk
4 oz of Kefir

Dry Ingredients
1 packet of Vibrance Essential Daily Greens
½ tbsp almond butter
½ tsp healing mushrooms (Chaga)

Veggies and Fruits (not shown in this pic)
½ cup fresh or frozen strawberries

Instructions:

1. Let chia seeds expand (optional): Place the chia seeds in the water and let it soak either 20 mins before making the smoothie or the night before.  I like to do this so the chia seeds absorb the liquid, and expand here is why:

Chia seeds are hydrophilic, they will attract water in the body if not soaked or added to liquid, so if you decide not to soak chia seeds, it is best to drink lots of liquids after consuming them. Furthermore, it is possible to get them lodge in your throat if consumed dry, so it is not recommended to consume them un-soaked (they are kind of hard to chew).  With that out of the way, let’s move to the next step.

2. Place all ingredients in your Nutrininja, blender, Vitamix or favorite mixer.  Mix for about 40-50 seconds or until you get the consistency of your choice.
