Dotdash Meredith

Kefir is similar to yogurt, full of gut-friendly probiotics. But it has fewer carbs and a more drinkable consistency — perfect for smoothies.

Prep/Cook Time: 5 Minutes, Servings: 2

Ingredients

1 cup low-fat plain kefir
1 cup frozen mixed berries
¼ cup orange juice
1–2 tablespoons fresh mint
1 tablespoon honey

Directions

Combine kefir, berries, juice, mint to taste and honey in a blender. Process until smooth. (The smoothies will keep in the refrigerator for up to 1 day or in the freezer for up to 3 months.)
