1 Servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup vanilla kefir
- 1 medium ripe banana cut into 1-inch pieces and frozen
- 1 cup frozen mixed berries
Instructions
Prepare the Blender
- Ensure the blender is clean and assembled correctly. Place it on a flat, stable surface before adding the ingredients to prevent spills or uneven blending.
Add the Ingredients
- In this order, add the kefir first, followed by the frozen banana pieces, and finally, the frozen mixed berries. Layering in this manner assists the blender blades in moving smoothly through the mixture.
Blend the Mixture
- Begin blending on low speed for several seconds to combine the ingredients. Gradually increase to high speed until a smooth and creamy consistency is achieved. If necessary, pause once or twice to stir the contents, ensuring even blending.
Adjust the Consistency
- If the mixture is too thick for your preference, add a small amount of water, milk, or additional kefir, one tablespoon at a time, blending briefly after each addition until the desired texture is reached.
Serve
- Pour the smoothie into a chilled glass and serve immediately. For an elegant presentation, garnish with a few fresh berries or a mint sprig, if desired.
