Instructions
- Add the plain kefir to a high-speed blender first.
- Add the chopped apple, ground cinnamon, and fine sea salt to the blender.
- Add the ice cubes and pure vanilla extract last. Blend on low for 10 seconds, then increase to high and blend for 35–50 seconds until completely smooth.
- Check the consistency and adjust by blending in 1–2 tablespoons of additional kefir if too thick, or a few extra ice cubes if too thin.
- Pour the smoothie into a 16-ounce glass and serve immediately.
Tips
- Use a tart apple variety like Granny Smith for a tangy contrast that complements the kefir. Pre-chill the kefir and apple for a colder smoothie.
