Strawberry Quickie Kefir Smoothie

SERENE CHATS: If you love strawberries and creamy drinks are your “thang,” then this recipe will become your fast favorite for an insanely quick breakfast or lunch on the go. Really, you only have two main ingredients here and the smoothie is great just using those. I do use the add-ons listed, but I’ve always been a “throw in more and more options” sort of gal. You don’t have to do that. This recipe is found in the "Quickie Kefir Smoothies" section of Trim Healthy Table Cookbook on Page 492.

SERENE CHATS: If you love strawberries and creamy drinks are your “thang,” then this recipe will become your fast favorite for an insanely quick breakfast or lunch on the go. Really, you only have two main ingredients here and the smoothie is great just using those. I do use the add-ons listed, but I’ve always been a “throw in more and more options” sort of gal. You don’t have to do that. This recipe is found in the "Quickie Kefir Smoothies" section of Trim Healthy Table Cookbook on Page 492.

Ingredients
    For the Kefir Smoothie
  • 2 cups low-fat homemade kefir
  • 1 cup ice cubes
  • 1/4 cup TH Strawberry Optimized Whey Protein Powder
    • Optional Add On's
  • 1/2 lemons (use the juice of a half of a lemon; store-bought kefir isn’t very zingy so this gives a tart burst)
  • 1 Tbs TH Baobab Boost Powder
  • 1/2 tsp maca powder (such as Sunfood Maca Extreme)
Instructions
  1. 1

    Blend everything smooth. Don’t whizz and whizz if you opt for the no-ice option. You don’t want to make it poofy. Just blend for 10 seconds. Quick and yum!

Recipe Notes

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 low-fat kefir would make this a Light E and wouldn’t be as nourishing and beneficial but still a nice quick, on plan treat. Making this with low-fat homemade kefir as written is FP and using full fat homemade kefir would make this an S.
