Smoothies are all the rage now and with good reason. Instead of drinking empty calories and highly processed milk products, that are basically dead food, leaving you hungry and lethargic, smoothies can offer digestive enzymes, antioxidants, vitamins and minerals that fill you with whole food, rib sticking satisfaction and energy.
Here's a favorite breakfast smoothie:
1 cup frozen berries1/2 cup raw milk
1 TBSP organic black strap molasses
2 TBSP organic coconut oil (melted)
1/2 cup homemade milk kefir
1 banana
1 TBSP rice milk powder
1 TBSP organic barley malt/ honey or 1/2 tsp stevia powder
1 TBSP powdered greens, 1/4 cup frozen or fresh spinach
1 tsp lecithin
1 tsp flax seeds
If you dare, add a raw free range egg.
If you dare, add a raw free range egg.
Mix well in blender starting with fruit (whole greens if you're using them) and yogurt, then add other ingredients.
Or, here's a breakfast that will stick to your ribs all morning.
1/2 cup sprouted grain cereal (Ezekiel)
1/2 cup homemade yogurt from raw milk (more to taste)
1 TBSP roasted organic peanuts
1 TBSP organic, unsweetened coconut
2 TBSP dried fruits like raisins, cranberries and currents
Add a glass of greens and a cup of fair trade coffee with 2 TBSP coconut oil for a great start to your day.

That is one nutritious smoothie!
This is a great recipe for a smoothie.I came across your site from the foodieblogroll and I'd love to guide Foodista readers to your site. I hope you could add this kefir widget at the end of this post so we could add you in our list of food bloggers who blogged about kefir,Thanks!
Thanks, Alisa! I've added the widget. I have a few other posts about kefir, too. Should I add it there as well? I'm going to check out your site now.
Hey sweets, I love your cultured smoothie recipe! I too drink a ton of these but I add in a lot of raw dark greens as well. i also just did a post on the importance of balancing calcium and magnesium and a simple little recipe to prevent muscle cramping you can check it out at a moderate life! hugs! Alex
Hey, Alex. Nice to hear from you again! Thanks! I'll check it out. Been trying to make some improvements here. Finally made a button just for the blog hop.
This looks great! I actually don't know much about raw milk... and would love to know more. I have lactose issues, do you know of any reduced lactose milks with similar benefits? :)
Very educational... thanks for linking up to Friday Potluck - I want one of these smoothies today :)
Hi Erin! Depending on what issues you have with lactose, you may find that raw milk and cultured raw milk products are much easier for you to digest and tolerate than processed milk. Let me refer you to another post on my blog from a while back. http://woodwifesjournal.blogspot.com/2010/06/raw-milk-and-yogurt.html
You might find it interesting. I haven't had any experience with them but I've read about other milks working well with the cultures. Like coconut. But, unfortunately, I can't tell you off the top of my head where I read it.
Thanks for joining me!
