Ingredients

  • 1 cup plain kefir OR coconut milk kefir
  • 1 tablespoon honey, maple syrup, or sugar (Sweeten more or less as desired)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (Optional, especially if using add-ins)
  • 1 cup frozen or fresh berries
  • 1 tablespoon peanut butter powder ((See recipe notes for regular peanut butter directions))
  • 1 banana (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon cocoa or cacao powder (optional)
  • 1/2 cup chocolate chips
  • 1 tablespoon cocoa or cacao powder

Directions

  1. 1

    Blend together plain kefir, desired add-ins, and as much sweetener as desired in a blender or food processor.  

  2. 2

    Add plain kefir, desired add-ins, and as much sweetener as desired to the basin of a blender or food processor.  Blend until mixture is frothy, with lots of air bubbles.  Tip: Air bubbles are easiest to achieve in a high-powered blender (like a Vitamix.)  If your blender isn't creating the desired air-bubbles, try pouring the mixture into a mixing bowl after blending, and beat with an electric hand mixer on high until the mixture is bubbling and frothy.
