Raw Apricot Creme Kefir Smoothies ~ A Recipe


It's apricot week!  Or in my case, aprium week.  I thought I'd kick it off with a simple, delicious, probiotic-rich recipe.  You'll notice that our weekly menu plans list one kefir smoothie a day.  They are the vehicle in which I get a good dose of the aforementioned probiotics down my family, along with fermented cod liver oil and chlorella powder without any fuss or objection.  Have you still not invested in your own kefir grains?  The time is now to take the dive.  Order some here (be sure to check out their free video tutorials) and save a bundle with homemade kefir.  You'll also benefit more from it health-wise than the store-bought kind.

Raw Apricot Creme Kefir Smoothies 
Prep time: 5 minutes, makes 5 cups
  1. place all ingredients in the order they are listed and blend on high for about a minute.  You will get the creamiest results with a Vitamix.  Freeze any leftovers in popsicle moulds for later enjoyment.

  2. What flavor FCLO do you use in your smoothies?

  3. Love all your smoothie recipes! Do you use a particular flavor of FCLO in your smoothies. I tried it once and it didn't work for us, but maybe the flavor I had was just too overpowering.

  4. I'm so glad! I put FCLO/BO non-flavored gel in the smoothies. About 2 teaspoons per blender-full, which is split into 5 cups. My kids don't detect it. :)

  5. Thank you! I tried it with a flavored one, so I will try out the unflavored with my next order. Anything to make the kids complain less about it :)
