Blackberry Cucumber Kefir Chia Smoothie

Why this smoothie fits a summer beauty routine

Blackberries bring color and tart berry flavor, cucumber keeps the drink fresh, kefir adds creaminess, and chia seeds make the texture more satisfying. It is a food-first beauty drink, not a treatment or skin guarantee.

Recipe ingredients

• 1/2 cup blackberries, fresh or frozen
• 1/2 cup peeled cucumber slices
• 3/4 cup plain kefir or drinkable yogurt
• 1 teaspoon chia seeds
• 1/4 cup cold water or ice, as needed
• Optional: 2–3 mint leaves

How to make it

1. Add kefir, blackberries and cucumber to the blender.
2. Add chia seeds and mint if using.
3. Blend until smooth, adding cold water if needed.
4. Let stand for 3 minutes so chia softens slightly.
5. Drink the same day for the freshest texture.

Simple adjustments

• Use yogurt instead of kefir for a thicker smoothie.
• Add more cucumber for a lighter flavor.
• Skip collagen unless it already suits your diet and routine.
