Muckboots n' Aprons: Raw Kefir Smoothie

Ever Lived Someplace You Didn't Like?

"Thus says the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, to all the exiles whom I have sent into exile from Jerusalem to Babylon. Build houses and live in them; plant gardens and eat their produce. Take wives and have sons and daughters; take wives for your sons, and give your daughters in marriage, that they may bear sons and daughters; multiply there, and do not seek decrease. But seek the welfare of the city where I have sent you into exile, and pray to the LORD on it's behalf, for in its welfare you will find your welfare."
Jeremiah 29: 4-7

Aren't we exiles on the earth? Maybe we are exiles in our daily life, the physical, mental, or spiritual place we are living presently...

Raw Kefir Smoothie

My husband, 3 year old son and I drink this green/purple probiotic smoothie several times a week.

I take about a quart of finished raw goat milk kefir I make myself daily as long as my dairy goats are in milk.

The kefir goes into the Vita-Mix and then I add:

A couple tablespoons of flax seeds

Two large handfuls of baby kale and or baby spinach.

1 1/2 frozen bananas (add more if you like a sweeter flavor. Bananas hide the taste of the greens)

About a cup of either frozen mixed berries or blueberries. I also use frozen strawberries or cherries if I have them.

Blend until smooth.

Now this is an amazingly yummy way to get your probiotics, antioxidants, calcium, protein, potassium, vitalism C, K, and a host of other vitamins and minerals. Not to mention enzymes.

Sometimes I also sneak in a carrot-
