Do you love smoothies? We sure do. It’s such a great way to pack so much nutrition into a glass. Perfect for taking “on the run”, or if you are like me, sitting at my computer while I write this post.

Getting your daily requirement of fruits and veggies for some people can be a challenge. I love having a pile of fresh-cut, crisp veggies to scoop up hummus. Perfect for taking to lunch, and awesome as appetizers too. However, some days I need a little extra help fitting all those healthy nutrients into my day. Smoothies make this so easy to do.

Kefir Smoothie Ingredients

• Fresh figs
• Kefir
• Cherries
• Oatmeal

Have you ever tried recipes with kefir? It is highly nutritious and comes in a variety of flavours. I prefer it to buttermilk, and it works so well in things like kefir oatmeal pancakes.

You can even make Healthy Kefir Popsicles for a nutritious treat. Great for hot summer days and after school. Kids love them, and they don’t even realize they are eating healthy!!

Kefir is a great replacement for yogurt or milk, especially in making delicious smoothies and shakes.

Cherry Vanilla Kefir Smoothie Is Easy To Make

All you need is a great blender. Full instructions are in the recipe card below.

• Pop all the ingredients into the blender.
• Blitz until smooth.
• Smoothie is ready to drink.

Creating different smoothie combinations is easy and so delicious. Sometimes I make a smoothie using things up in the fridge. Other times I experiment with flavours to see what happens, like in my Hemp Chocolate Smoothie.

If you are looking for a plant-based recipe, this hemp heart smoothie is a great alternative. Clean, green, and vegan friendly. Diary-free and gluten-free too.

The great thing is that you can use fresh or frozen fruits and veggies. However you make them, smoothies can fill you up, cool you down, provide nutrition, all in a glass!! Easy to make, fun to drink, with endless flavours so you will never get bored.

Suggestions/Recipe Tips

Kefir is such a nutritious ingredient to add to recipes. It comes in plain and flavoured. I used vanilla, but coconut would be delicious too. You can always use dairy or non-dairy yogurt and milk.

Fresh figs are one of my favourites. If they are not available, you can always toss in 2-3 dried figs. They are super sweet.

Cherries are always expensive, so I opted for frozen cherries. They blend up nicely and make the drink nice and cold. You can always substitute any frozen fruit you like.

Oatmeal adds nutrition and a little bulk to the smoothie. Hemp seeds or chia seeds work well too.
