  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon ground cardamom
  • 1-2 tablespoons brown sugar or maple syrup
  • 2 tablespoons pecans or walnuts (optional, for richness and texture)

  1. If using frozen kefir cubes: Pour milk kefir into an ice cube tray and freeze until solid (at least 4 hours).
  2. Combine all ingredients in a blender.
  3. Blend on high until completely smooth and creamy. If using nuts, blend until no chunks remain.
  4. Taste and adjust sweetness and spices as needed.

Ingredients

Cinnamon is really very healthy, great for the blood so make sure to buy the best quality you can afford, you have after all, just made the best quality milk kefir. 

  • 750mls of milk kefir
  • 3 tablespoons of cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon of powdered turmeric
  • 2 tablespoons of maple syrup or brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon of vanilla paste

How to

  1. Add ingredients to blender or shaker. (I prefer to blend mine in a shaker because it seems to get it fizzier than in a blender,but beware the shaker! It can get quite explosive sometimes so open the lid carefully..... I warned you. 
  2. Blend ingredients well. 
  3. Taste and adjust to taste. 
  4. Once you've made this it'll actually last a few days in the fridge. Pour over your granola or put some on top. So yummy.

Tart and fruity, everyone loves this.  Berries can be tart and the kefir is too, so an extra splash of maple syrup is good. Great for freezing into icy poles.
