Main ingredients:
- ¾ cup plain kefir or drinkable yogurt
- ½ cup raspberries
- 1 teaspoon chia seeds
- ¼ cup cold water or ice
- Optional 1 small scoop collagen peptides
Why this smoothie fits a summer beauty routine
Raspberries bring a bright berry flavor, kefir adds a creamy protein-friendly base, and chia seeds give the drink a little body. Optional collagen peptides can be added if they already suit your routine. The goal is a satisfying beauty drink, not a guaranteed skin result.
Ingredients
- ¾ cup plain kefir or plain drinkable yogurt
- ½ cup raspberries, fresh or frozen
- 1 teaspoon chia seeds
- ¼ cup cold water or ice
- Optional: 1 small scoop unflavored collagen peptides
- Optional: ½ teaspoon honey if needed
How to make it
- Add kefir, raspberries, chia and cold water to a blender.
- Blend until smooth and creamy.
- Let it stand for 2 minutes so the chia softens slightly.
- Taste and add a tiny amount of honey only if the berries are very tart.
- Drink soon after blending.
When to drink it
This works well as a morning snack or light breakfast add-on. If you use collagen, follow the product label and keep the rest of the day food-first.
Quick Checklist
- Use plain kefir, not a very sweet flavored one.
- Add water or ice for a lighter texture.
- Skip collagen if it does not suit your digestion or diet.
- For diabetes, pregnancy, medication or allergies, personalize with a professional.
