Ingredients
  

  • 1-2 cups harvested kefir Harvested just means the kefir has been through the fermenting process and the kefir grains have been removed.
  • 1 cup fresh strawberries Cut berries into bite size pieces.
  • 1-2 tbsp grated frozen lemon zest and pulp add more if desired. I always keep a frozen lemon or two in the freezer.
  • THM Super Sweet Sweetener to taste. *Optional This can be purchased here: https://amzn.to/4jF10Gk

Equipment

  • Bowl
  • Grater
  • Measuring cups and spoons

Method
 

  1. Measure your milk kefir or just pour the desired amount in your bowl. Exact measurements are not required- I don't usually measure.
  2. Measure out 1-2 tbsp of grated lemon pulp and zest directly into the bowl or do as the ADHD recipe creator does and grate until it feels just right.. or you get tired of grating. This could be 1 minutes or 3 seconds.. one never knows. Just make sure your end result is yummy for your personal taste buds.
  3. Add sweetener to taste.
  4. Cut fresh strawberrise in bite size pieces and add to the bowl.

This recipe is pretty forgiving. I gave you a template, but you can add or remove whatever you want. Make it thinner by adding your milk of choice, and throw it all in the blender. The world of kefir is your oyster.
