Black Currant Kefir Crush

Author: Flavelo
Recipes Vegetarian & Vegan Dishes Drinks
The intense, tart aroma and high Vitamin C content of black currants (Cassis) are the perfect match for the creaminess of kefir. The probiotics of kefir and the polyphenols of the fruit jointly support the immune system. In this drink, honey softens the acidity of the currants, and chia seeds ensure long-lasting satiety.

Instructions

1 ✓

Wash the currants, remove from stems. Mash the berries in a bowl with a fork to release their juice.

Tip: No need to puree, the rustic, chunky texture (crushed fruit) is more exciting.
2 ✓

Mix the kefir with the honey and lemon juice in a pitcher.

Tip: Taste it, as the acidity of currants varies by variety.
3 ✓

Stir the chia seeds and crushed fruit into the kefir.

Tip: The fruit juice dyes the kefir, giving it a beautiful purple shade.
4 ✓

Let stand for 10 minutes to allow the chia seeds to hydrate and thicken the drink.

Tip: Resting is important, otherwise the seeds remain hard and stick to your teeth.
5 ✓

Stir and serve. Garnish with a few whole currants.

Tip: Best served chilled.

Recipe FAQ

Should I leave the seeds in?
Currant seeds are tiny and edible, full of fiber. If they bother you, press the fruit through a sieve.
What honey should I use?
Wildflower or acacia honey is best because they have a more neutral taste and dissolve easily.
