Intro Continued....You got twenty seconds? You got a meal! The following two recipes are delicious filling drinks with plenty of protein to be a quick run-out-the-door meal for breakfast (or perhaps a light lunch). Kefir floods your gut with healthy probiotics and nourishes your body in countless ways.

Serving Size Option:

  • There is an option to use either 1 or 2 cups kefir here. If you choose to use just 1 cup kefir, that leaves you room for adding more food to your meal if you feel you need it.
  • If choosing to use 2 cups kefir, you have plenty of fuel in your meal so no need to add more food.
  • Each option gives a different smoothie result, so find your own favorite.

NOTE:

The Quickie Kefir Smoothies will be E, FP, or S, depending on what kefir you choose.

  • Store bought kefir should always be low-fat as it still contains some carbs, so if using store-bought kefir, your smoothie will be a Light E.
  • Homemade kefir will be FP if using low-fat milk and S if using whole milk.
