Spiced Raspberry Kefir Smoothie
The tartness of fermented dairy and red berries is a classic pairing. The twist here is cinnamon: this warm spice adds unexpected depth to the cool, fruity drink and helps stabilize blood sugar. Raspberry seeds add fiber, while kefir provides live cultures – an immune-boosting breakfast bomb.

Instructions
1
✓
Place raspberries in a bowl, add lemon juice and honey, and crush coarsely with a fork.
Tip: No need to puree completely; fruit chunks add exciting texture (rustic style).
2
✓
In another container, mix the kefir with cinnamon and vanilla.
Tip: Cinnamon is hard to mix into cold liquid; whisk it with a small amount of kefir first to remove lumps, then add the rest.
3
✓
Pour the spiced kefir over the raspberries and fold gently to keep it marbled. Serve chilled.
Tip: With marbled mixing, every sip is different: sometimes creamier, sometimes fruitier.
