Description

A luxurious, restorative drink that merges ancient probiotic traditions with the visual richness of summer berries. This elixir energizes and heals from the inside out—supporting gut health & mood elevation.

Ingredients

1 cup plain, unsweetened kefir (cow, goat, or coconut-based)
3/4 cup mixed berries (blueberries, raspberries, strawberries)
1 tsp 1–2 raw honey or maple syrup (optional, to taste)
1/2 tsp fresh lemon juice
2 fresh 2–3 mint leaves
Small pinch sea salt (enhances electrolyte balance)
Ice cubes (optional, for texture and chill)
Garnish: extra berries, mint sprig, or edible flower

Instructions

1
Blend the Base: In a high-speed blender, combine kefir, berries, lemon juice, mint, and sweetener (if using). Blend until smooth and creamy.
2
Adjust Texture: For a thinner drink, add a splash of water or more kefir. For thicker, more smoothie-like results, add a few ice cubes and pulse again.
3
Serve in Style: Pour into double-walled glasses or wine glasses. Garnish with a cluster of berries and mint or a white edible flower for an elite finish.
4
Optional Chill: Let sit in the fridge for 10–15 minutes to let flavors intensify. Stir before serving.
