This is a ZReboot recipe. When people used to ask me, "What’s kefir?" I used to answer, "Goat's milk." Well, now that’s not necessarily true. Kefir is over 2000 years old and originated in the Middle East so that would have been true then. Now it might be made from a cow, a goat or even a sheep’s milk. The really crazy good thing about kefir is how good it is for you. This stuff is chock-full of more probiotics than any yogurt options. The kefir people call kefir "yogurt’s liquid cousin" but it’s so much more. Kefir is the probiotic burst you need. 70% of your immune system is in your gut. Keeping it healthy keeps you from getting everything from a cold to the flu. So drink up.
Servings: Serves 1. Can be doubled easily.
Ingredients:
1 cup of frozen mixed berries (or you can make it out of any frozen fruit)
¾ cup of unsweetened, plain kefir (stay away from the flavored stuff, it’s chock full of sugar)
1 – 2 tsp of Truvia (or stevia)
½ tsp of organic vanilla
Instructions:
You are going to put this all in a blender and mix it up. If it’s too thick I just add up to a half cup of water. The frozen berries will keep it cold and it will taste like a frozen smoothie.
Drink this and it will keep you satisfied for hours. Makes a great breakfast or a snack on the run 'cuz you can put this in your thermos and drink it in the car. You’ll think you are getting a healthy dessert!
Enjoy!
Cheers,
Zola
