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

- 1/4 cup cold water, plus more as needed
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice, optional
How to prepare
- Add kefir, blueberries, chia and water to a blender.
- Blend until smooth.

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.
