I’ve been on a Kefir<\/a> kick ever since I was on antibiotics for bronchitis back in December. It’s supposed to be very good for gut flora, which, according to Science, is not just about digestion, but important to your immune system as well. I started by just drinking it by the cupful as a snack, however, the plain stuff that I use (all the flavored varieties contain lots of added sugar… just like any other flavored yogurt) is a little bit of an acquired taste. \u00a0Around the same time, our old blender died and I bought a new one. So, I wanted to see how it worked for making smoothies. This is the recipe I came up with…<\/p>\n

1 cup plain Kefir
\n3\/4 cup Silk unsweetened coconut milk (bonus- contains Medium Chain Triglycerides<\/a>)
\n1 cup frozen fruit- whatever is in the freezer, usually includes some blueberries
\n1 scoop Pure Clean Powder<\/a>\u00a0(I am a strong believer in the ergogenic effects of beet root juice)
\n1 tablespoon of almond butter
\n1 tablespoon of honey<\/p>\n

Blend ’til smooth. You could add and subtract whatever you please. For example, if you want a heartier meal replacement, you could add protein powder and\/or some raw oatmeal.\u00a0I drink it just about every day, either an hour or so before or just after a workout. It’s light enough that within an hour or so, intense exercise is comfortable, but the protein, fat, and fiber that’s in it keep you satiated for at least 2 or 3 hours after consumption.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
