Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Plain unsweetened kefir
- 1 cup Fresh ripe strawberries
- 0.5 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 4 pieces Ice cubes
- 3 drops Optional: liquid stevia or monk fruit drops
Instructions
Rinse the strawberries thoroughly under cold running water, then hull them by removing the green leafy tops.
Add the rinsed strawberries, plain unsweetened kefir, and vanilla extract to a blender.
Blend the mixture on high speed until smooth and creamy.
For a chilled drink, add the ice cubes to the blender and blend again until the ice is crushed and fully incorporated.
Taste the mixture and, if desired, add 2-3 drops of liquid stevia or monk fruit for extra sweetness (note: this is optional as the strawberries provide natural sweetness). Blend once more to combine.
Pour the prepared strawberry kefir into two glasses and serve immediately. Enjoy your sugar-free strawberry kefir as a healthy, probiotic-rich refreshment!
