RECIPE : GOLDEN SMOOTHIE / by Clovis Ferguson

Milk Kefir 30% copy.png

GOLDEN SMOOTHIE

I live on a dairy farm so obviously have a great source for milk which is why I got in to making milk kefir. 

Milk kefir grains are added to milk and over time the kefir bacteria feed on the lactase (the sugar within milk) and it ferments to make a wonderfully sour/tangy yoghurt style drink that is loaded with good bacteria to help keep a healthy gut and more. As with the kombucha pairing, Jambucha it is another win win as you are getting fermented goodness and the wonderful ingredients of Jamu all at once. 

If you do not have milk kefir or can not find it in your local health store then swap it out for natural yoghurt and it will still be delicious.

SERVES 2

200ML JAMU

200ML MILK KEFIR 

1 TSP HONEY (more if you want)

1/2 LEMON ZEST

Start by taking the zest off of half an organic unwaxed lemon. In a nutribullet or smoothie maker mix the honey zest and jamu and blitz for short while.

Add the honey and the kefir and blitz once more but not too much as it is just to mingle it all together, not get a big frothy shake.

The curcumin within turmeric is fat soluble so when mixed with the milk kefir or yoghurt their fat ultimately helps to transport the good stuff in to our bloodstream. 

Note. If you are using milk kefir then this smoothie will not store very well. It is best to drink straight away or within a day.
