Ingredients
- 1/2 cup Strawberry 1% Milkfat Kefir
- 1 5.5-oz. container (or 1/2 cup) Chobani Vanilla Greek Yogurt
- 1-2 tablespoons chia seeds
- 1 cup frozen strawberries
- 1/2 cup Vita Coco Coconut Water with Pineapple, or water
- Drizzle of honey (optional)
Instructions
- Measure all ingredients. Pour coconut water, then kefir, yogurt, honey, strawberries and chia seeds into blender.
- Blend until smooth and creamy. Pour into a glass and enjoy!
Notes
- Use only one tablespoon of chia seeds or omit if just starting to eat foods high in fiber. Gradually increase the fiber over a matter of weeks.
- Change the flavor profile by switching up the flavor of Greek yogurt and kefir.
- Try different frozen fruits - the more variety the better! You could use strawberries and pineapple for a more tropical flavor and increased bacterial diversity.
- Add a flavored kombucha for even more benefits of fermentation - it's the most studied fermented food. However, it does have a vinegar-like taste which might be a turn-off for some people.
- For even more protein, consider adding nut butter or one scoop of protein powder. Another option? Top with hemp hearts.
- Make it into a smoothie bowl and top with chopped nuts and fresh fruit.
