INGREDIENTS

8 ounces Lifeway Mixed Berry Kefir, or preferred kefir

1 cup frozen mixed berries (or use fresh, and may need to add water if too thick)

1 cup rolled oats

2 tablespoons chia seeds

1 fresh lemon, or the juice of 1/2 lemon

2 scoops vanilla protein powder

1 tablespoon honey, optional

Whipped cream, optional

Instructions (2 servings)

Add the kefir and protein powder in a large bowl and whisk to ensure it is well-combined. Then, add the oats, chia seeds, frozen fruit, and the juice of 1/2 a lemon. Combine gently with a spoon.

For best results and more even distribution, refrigerate in an airtight container in the fridge and divide into mason jars after at least 6 hours. If using frozen fruit, you can add in as well (or after).

Taste test and add more lemon or honey if needed. Divide the mixture into two servings. Top with fresh or frozen fruit. If the mixture seems too thick, add a splash of water, milk, more lemon juice, or mix in the juice from the frozen fruit.

Enjoy! Store in the fridge for up to 5 days.
