1 C plain Kefir; 1/2 C fzn strawberries; 1/2 C red grapes; juice of 1 med-large orange; 1 to 2 pkts Truvia; blend altogether in blender. Keep in mind this will take care of BOTH your fruit allowances for the day. And for an extra boost of good nutrients add a handful of spinach (you won’t even taste it) … yum-yum!

This sounds great – I can’t wait to try it!  I’ve been making a blueberry smoothie with Blueberry kefir, 1 cup frozen blueberries and a couple of packets of Truvia – it’s really good, but I’m ready to try some other options for the Kefir too.  Thanks!

Can’t wait to try this!

I cant find Kefir anywhere!! I have all the area grocery stores looking for it now!! Hope someone finds it around here!!

I wonder if you can pour this into those plastic popsicle trays and have a frozen treat!!

I am going to have this for breakfast tomorrow morning.. thank you sooooo much :D

georgie1girl: that sounds like a good idea — come the hot weather I’m going to try that! Unfortunately we’re having sub-zero temps now & a fzn “popsicle” doesn’t have much appeal for me personally right now. But thanks for the great suggestion!!

krissym18: I’m so sorry you’re not able to find Kefir anywhere; I’ve read a lot of others posts from ones who are having the same problem. I don’t get it — all it is, is a slightly liquified yogurt, you’d think the stores would carry at least a few. At my local Wal-Mart all they had was the flavored kind — too much sugar. At Kroger’s they carried the plain kind. Hope one of your stores comes thru for you!

I found plain low fat Kefir milk at Trader Joe’s.

There are great Kefir flavors at whole foods!!  I’ve been loving this stuff as a dessert.  Check out Dr. Mike’s smoothie recipe with flaxoil and berries!

Best smoothie I’ve made yet! These recipes are great help!

Actually what Kefir is, is a fermented milk. Marked right on the container.. It’s in the same kind of container as yogurt… It sorta takes like buttermilk… but it is great in a smoothie.. Our local independent grocer store sells it in their organic section.. Check with your health food store..

Going to try this just as soon as I can get to the store on Thursday! Thanks!

Tried this today… yummy!!!

Today I made one with peaches, strawberry Kefir, almond milk and Agave sweetener…YUM!

Just wanted to mention, my grocery store carries kefir in the yogurt aisle.

I accidently found the Kefir at Ingles…of all places. can’t wait to try this recipe…

Actually this doesn’t cover both fruits for the day.  The two 1/2 servings of the two different fruits come to 1 serving.  The JUICE of the orange is not counted, as this plan doesn’t encourage juice without the fruit (you’re not getting the fiber).

We found Kefir at Everman’s Health Foods and Publix. Go to If you go to www.lifeway.net/probiotics you may find it in your area
