Instructions

Add the plain kefir to the blender container.
Add the protein powder, frozen sliced banana, frozen mixed berries, ice, and pure vanilla extract into the blender.
Blend on high speed until smooth and creamy, about 30 to 45 seconds. If the shake is too thick, add a splash of water or additional kefir and blend again to reach desired consistency.
Pour the shake into a large glass and serve immediately for best flavor and texture.

Tips

Use ripe bananas before freezing to ensure natural sweetness and creamy texture in the shake.
Pure vanilla extract or vanilla bean paste intensifies the berry flavors and adds a warm, aromatic note.
