Ingredients

400 g plain unsweetened kefir (about 400 ml, 1 2/3 cups)
1 ripe medium banana 120 g peeled
150 g frozen unsweetened blueberries about 1 cup
2 tbsp chia seeds 20 g
1 tbsp ground flaxseed 10 g
A pinch of ground cinnamon optional

Instructions

Pour the kefir into the blender first, then add the banana broken into pieces, the frozen blueberries, chia seeds, flaxseed and cinnamon. Liquid at the bottom helps the blades turn.
Blend on high for 30-60 seconds, until smooth and evenly purple with no pieces of fruit left.
Drink it straight away, or leave it in the jug for 5 minutes for a thicker smoothie: the chia seeds swell and make it almost spoonable. If it gets too thick, add a splash of water or kefir and blend for a few seconds.
Stir and pour into two glasses.
