Why this smoothie feels summer-friendly
Berries bring bright flavor, kefir gives a creamy base, and oats plus chia make the drink feel more satisfying. This is a food-first beauty ritual, not a promise that one smoothie changes the skin overnight.
Recipe ingredients
- 3/4 cup plain kefir or drinkable yogurt
- 1/2 cup mixed raspberries and blueberries, fresh or frozen
- 1 tablespoon rolled oats
- 1 teaspoon chia seeds
- 1/4 cup cold water or unsweetened almond milk, plus more as needed
- Optional: 1 teaspoon collagen peptides, if already suitable for you
How to blend it
- Add kefir, berries, oats, chia and water to a blender.
- Blend until smooth, then rest for 2 minutes so the chia can soften.
- Add a splash more water if you prefer a lighter texture.
- Drink soon after blending for the freshest taste.
When it fits best
Use it as a light breakfast or afternoon snack. If you are sensitive to dairy, use a plain unsweetened dairy-free yogurt drink instead. If you manage blood sugar, keep the serving modest and pair it with protein-rich food that suits you.
Quick checklist
- Use unsweetened kefir or yogurt.
- Keep berries as the main fruit.
- Adjust liquid instead of adding sweetener first.
- Check supplement suitability before adding collagen.
