Healthy Kefir Smoothie

11/6/2014

0 Comments

 
This healthy drink is a good source of probiotics, which are the healthy organisms and bacteria found in our digestive tracts. This drink is a great source of protein but without too many extra calories. It is also a source of calcium plus several of the essential B vitamins.

Best of all – it tastes great! And it takes just a few minutes to make.

Ingredients:
  • 1 cup unsweetened kefir
  • 1 cup frozen unsweetened berries
  • I tablespoon sugar-free fruit jam
  • 1 tablespoon flaxseed oil

Directions:


Put all ingredients in a blender until smooth. Enjoy!

Why I like this meal-replacement drink:

As we enter the winter months it gets harder to keep fruit in our diet. Using the frozen fruit with the added benefits of the kefir gives our immune system a nice boost.

One caution – read the kefir label to make sure you don’t overdo the sugar. If your kefir has more than 12 grams of sugar you might want to limit this meal replacement drink to just once or twice per week.

To your health!
