Nectarine, Pear, Lettuce & Kefir Smoothie
Today’s edition of the Daily Kefir Smoothie is a sweet Nectarine, Pear and Lettuce version. (I promise, you don’t taste the greens!)
I start almost every day with Kefir, it has been wildly beneficial for my gut and mental health so the affection I hold for it is multi-level.
I usually make a smoothie with some form of frozen fruit (berries, banana, mango, pineapple etc) and greens of some variety (spinach, lettuce, cucumber, kale etc) so stay tuned for many variations!

Tips
Tips- Hold back some of the kefir at first to make sure you achieve your perfect consistency, you can always add more!

Store refrigerate in an airtight container for a day but the texture will change
