Why I Love This One
I love that this mason jar smoothie makes gut friendly ingredients feel genuinely craveable. Kefir brings tang, berries bring color, and flaxseed gives it a cozy thickness that still drinks beautifully through a straw.
When I make this, I pour it into a mason jar and take it outside for a few quiet minutes. That little glass jar moment makes my afternoon feel slower and more intentional, which is usually exactly what I need.
Once the flavors are in your head, the rest is beautifully simple. Here is exactly how I make it in my own kitchen.
Here's What You'll Need
- One cup of plain kefir
- One half cup of frozen blueberries
- One half cup of frozen strawberries
- One tablespoon of ground flaxseed
- One teaspoon of honey
- Two tablespoons of rolled oats for body
- A few fresh berries for the top of the jar
I like to gather everything before I start blending, because smoothies move fast once the blender is out.
Let's Blend It Together
Add the kefir to the blender first so the frozen berries can move without straining the motor.
Add the blueberries, strawberries, flaxseed, honey, and rolled oats, then blend until the mixture is creamy and pourable.
If the blender needs help, stop and scrape the sides rather than adding too much liquid.
Pour the smoothie into a chilled mason jar and let it settle for a moment.
Add a few fresh berries to the top of the jar, tuck in a straw, and drink it while it is cold and creamy.
Made's Tips
Use plain kefir so you can control the sweetness yourself.
For a thicker mason jar smoothie, freeze the kefir in an ice cube tray and use a few cubes with regular kefir.
Pour it into the jar right before drinking so the berry color stays bright and beautiful.
I hope this mason jar smoothie gives your afternoon a soft landing. Love, Made
