Probiotic green smoothie
Probiotic green smoothie
When you continuously brew kombucha or water kefir there are times when you have more than you can drink. So instead of flavouring and bottling every batch, I use the first ferment in smoothies, dressings or as a culture for other ferments, such as cashew cheese. It is a no waste approach that adds another source of probiotics to your diet.
Yields: 2 servings
Ingredients
1 large handful kale or spinach – leaves and stems
2 cups fruit – lately I have been using a frozen mix with strawberry, peaches, pineapple and banana
1 cup kombucha or water kefir (first ferment)
½ cup white grape juice – fresh or frozen
Steps
You can use fresh or frozen kale or spinach. Whenever I have excess hearty greens, I freeze them for smoothies or soups. I hate wasting food.
I like to use frozen fruit because it gives the smoothies a thicker consistency. It is also more affordable.
Put all the ingredients in a blender. Blend and enjoy as a drink or in a smoothie bowl.
