If you are a regular reader, you know that most of our recipes are strictly plant based. However, I include kefir in my diet for the many health benefits such as protein, probiotics, and the calming effect on the nervous system. Check out more of the health benefits here as well as our blueberry kefir smoothie!
WHAT YOU NEED:
BLENDER
INGREDIENTS
Kefir (for vegan - use almond/coconut milk)
Strawberries (frozen)
Banana (frozen)
Hemp seeds
Cashew butter (or nut butter)

PRINTABLE RECIPE
Another reason I love this recipe is because smoothies are coming seasonal once again and the color is oh-so festive for the holidays! We will be celebrating Easter brunch at my mom's house this year, so I plan to make this kefir shake as a morning snack so we aren't too full for the holiday feast!
