Print Recipe

A quick and easy gut-friendly smoothie packed with probiotics from kefir, fiber from flaxseed, and antioxidants from blueberries to support digestion and overall wellness.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (240 ml) plain, unsweetened kefir
  • ½ cup (75 g) fresh or frozen blueberries
  • 1 tablespoon (7 g) ground flaxseed
  • ½ medium ripe banana (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon (7 g) honey or maple syrup (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon (5 g) chia seeds (optional)
  • ¼ cup (60 ml) water or almond milk

Instructions

  1. If using whole flaxseeds, grind 1 tablespoon in a coffee grinder or blender until finely ground (about 1 minute).
  2. Add 1 cup (240 ml) kefir into your blender jar.
  3. Add ½ cup (75 g) blueberries, ½ medium ripe banana, and 1 tablespoon (7 g) ground flaxseed.
  4. Drizzle 1 teaspoon (7 g) honey or maple syrup for sweetness, if desired.
  5. Pour in ¼ cup (60 ml) water or almond milk to help with blending; adjust for preferred consistency.
  6. Add 1 teaspoon (5 g) chia seeds if extra fiber and texture are desired.
  7. Secure the lid and blend on high for 45-60 seconds until smooth and creamy.
  8. Check consistency; if too thick, add more water or almond milk and pulse a few seconds; if too thin, add more blueberries or banana chunks.
  9. Serve immediately, optionally garnished with whole blueberries or a sprinkle of flaxseed.

Notes

Use freshly ground flaxseed for better absorption. Avoid over-blending to prevent warming and dulling flavors. Consume fresh for maximum probiotic benefits. For dairy-free, substitute kefir with coconut milk kefir or probiotic-rich plant-based yogurt. Adjust sweetness to taste.
