Blueberry Kefir Chia Beauty Smoothie

Best for

A morning or afternoon smoothie when you want protein, fermented dairy if tolerated, and berry color without a heavy dessert-style drink.

Recipe ingredients

• 3/4 cup plain kefir
• 1/2 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
• 1 tablespoon chia seeds
• 1/4 cup cold water, plus more as needed
• 1 teaspoon lemon juice, optional

How to prepare

1. Add kefir, blueberries, chia and water to a blender.
2. Blend until smooth.
3. Rest 3 minutes so chia thickens slightly.
4. Add more water if you prefer a lighter drink.

When to drink

Enjoy as one serving with breakfast or as a snack. If you monitor blood sugar, adjust berries and pair with a balanced meal as advised by your clinician.

Variations

Use lactose-free kefir if it suits you, or plain yogurt thinned with water. For dairy-free versions, choose an unsweetened cultured plant yogurt and check the protein content.

Quick Checklist

• One serving.
• No detox or miracle skin claims.
• Use unsweetened kefir.
