Tart Cranberry & Honey Probiotic Kefir

Author: Flavelo
Recipes Drinks
A functional beverage focusing on the symbiotic relationship between fermented kefir cultures and antioxidants. Cranberries are naturally high in pectin and acidity (low pH), which thickens the drink when blended. The honey is not just for flavor; it counteracts the sharp lactic acid tang of the kefir.

Ingredients

Equipment Needed

  • High-Speed Blender: Cranberry skins are tough. A standard blender might leave gritty bits. A high-speed one creates a silky smooth drink.
  • Fine Mesh Sieve (Optional): If your blender isn't powerful enough, press the mixture through a sieve to remove skins for a better texture.

Allergen Information

Instructions

1 ✓

Rinse cranberries. If using frozen, let them thaw slightly for easier blending.

Tip: Using completely frozen berries creates a sorbet texture, while thawed berries yield a drinkable smoothie.
2 ✓

Combine all ingredients in a blender. Blitz until smooth.

Tip: If using a low-power blender, strain the mixture to remove the bitter cranberry skins.
3 ✓

Pour into glasses and serve chilled.

Tip: Consume immediately; the natural pectin in cranberries will cause the drink to gel if left standing too long.

Recipe FAQ

Too tart?
Cranberries are naturally very sour. Adjust honey to taste, or add a half banana for creaminess and sweetness.
Can I use frozen berries?
Yes! It will make the drink thicker and colder, like a smoothie.
Storage?
Best drunk fresh. If stored, the pectin in cranberries might turn it into a jelly-like consistency.
