I enjoy drinking Kefir the most when I make healthy, delicious and refreshing smoothies. But basically any recipe that requires milk, you can use Kefir as substitute. For this entry though, I’ll share with you one Kefir smoothie I love to drink. Hope you like it too!
PB&B Kefir Smoothie
(You can never go wrong with peanut butter and banana)
- ¼ c skimmed milk
- 5 tbsp instant oatmeal
- 1 tbsp peanut butter
- 1 pc medium banana
- ¼ c kefir
- 1 tbsp flax seed (optional)
- 1 tbsp cocoa powder (optional for flavoring)
- Soak the oatmeal in milk for a few minutes, or until the oatmeal softens.
- Mix it together with the other ingredients in a blender.
- Blend in 5-8 iced cubes depending on how you like your smoothie.
This makes 2 serving. You can actually substitute your meals with this smoothie. It’s already complete with fiber and protein.
Fruit Juice Kefir Drinks
This is very, very easy to make, and very refreshing too! Just mix your Kefir with any fresh fruits or fruit juice concentrates (use in moderation =p), add a few iced cubes if desired, and viola! Yummy drinks in seconds!

Such a coincidence! i drink something very similar to this too.
When i started dieting, i quickly lost the energy i needed to play sports or to lift weights in the gym. Then someone introduced me to a peanut butter and banana kefir shake. I’ve drank it ever since. And i feel great and full of energy.
I’m not sure I would call this drink “healthy”, due to all of the fat in the cup of peanut butter that is used. One cup of peanut butter has 1,500 calories (approx.) and 130 g of fat. This is anything but healthy. And, considering that there are only two servings in this recipe, there is more fat and calories in this one serving than anyone should eat in a meal. The little bit of fiber is not an offset to all of the fat.

whoops that should’ve been 1 tbsp.
I’m really sorry about that Mike.
I want to try this.. my mom drinks the Kefir diffrently.. but it tastes sorta funky so i research other ways to drink it and this sounds alot better
i agree with chata.
I’ve had problems with drinking kefir alone in the past.
