Berries are one of the superfoods you can never have enough of. A superfood means it’s highly packed with nutrients, more so than other food. If berries are not in season, get the frozen ones.

- 2 cups of kefir
- 2 tbsp of raw honey or stevia

How To Make
- Combine berries, nut almond, pumpkin/sunflower seeds, flax seed and honey in a blender.
- Blend till either very smooth or somewhat smooth if you like chunks in your smoothie.

So is this goat milk kefir, or cow milk? Or coconut? I thought one needs to omit dairy for hormone balance 🙂
HI Anna, This is coconut Kefir. As dairy can cause issues for many people. Take care, Jennifer @HB Support
