Add a boost of nutrition to your day by making your own Kefir smoothie! Kefir is a great probiotic drink for your health and when combined with fruit in this Kefir smoothie recipe, it is an easy way to start your day off right!

Ever since I’ve made my own raw milk Kefir at home, I have consumed it mainly through drinking Kefir smoothies. Kefir has a tangy and slightly sour taste, which isn’t always pleasant to consume by itself. I can drink it on its own, but I don’t prefer it.
Our family’s favorite Kefir smoothie recipe is when I combine various fruits and sweeten it with a little bit of honey to help offset the tangy flavor. While we have a few other recipes we enjoy, this one is our go to!

Are Kefir smoothies good for you?
Yes! Kefir smoothies are very good for you!
Kefir is a high probiotic food, and consuming it on a daily basis in smoothies is a great way to boost nutrition in your day!

Some benefits of Kefir include:
- Improved gut health
- Ant-inflammatory properties
- Overall organ health including for the heart and liver.
Along with the benefits of Kefir, you have the added nutrition of whole foods like fruits, vegetables and/or seeds depending on what you like in smoothies.
What can I mix with Kefir to make it taste better?
Kefir is very versatile when it comes to smoothies to make it taste less tangy. My family prefers mainly fresh or frozen fruit, and a natural sweetener like honey.
Kefir smoothies also are great to blend in fruit juices, greens like kale or spinach, protein like a nut butter or seeds, collagen peptides and various spices. It all depends on what you enjoy!
One thing that can also help is the flavor of your Kefir.
If you let Kefir culture/ferment for a long period, you will have more tangy and sour tasting Kefir. Less time = less tangy.
In my post about How To Make Raw Milk Kefir, I list the culture time between 8 – 24 hours. To get a Kefir that isn’t as tangy, let the Kefir grains culture the milk only about 8 hours before you switch it to another jar.
What fruits go well with Kefir?
My family has used various fruits to create different Kefir smoothie recipes. We prefer mainly frozen fruit because it makes the Kefir colder, and almost like a ice cream shake consistency. You can, however use fresh fruit as well.
Here is a list of ones we enjoy:
- Strawberries
- Blueberries
- Red Raspberries
- Peaches
- Banana
- Mango
- Pineapple

What do you need to make Kefir smoothies?
To start making your own Kefir smoothies you will need:
- A blender (we love the Ninja blender!)
- Kefir – your own or store bought (we prefer the Lifeway brand, if store bought)
- Frozen Fruit – we love a combination of peaches, pineapple and strawberries
- Honey
How do you make a Kefir smoothie with mixed fruit?
Making a Kefir smoothie with mixed fruit is so easy!
First, assemble your ingredients.

Put your Kefir into the blender, and then add the frozen peaches, pineapple and strawberries.
Last, add the honey and blend! It is that easy!

Notes
1. Other sweeteners can substituted in Kefir smoothies, if you don’t have honey. Add the same amount, and test to see if you need more sweetness.
2. Try adding collagen peptides to your smoothie for extra protein!
What things do you enjoy in your smoothies? I would love to know! And if you try this recipe and love it like our family does, I would love it if you gave it 5 stars! Thank you!
