Kefir with banana cocktail

The simplest and healthiest kefir drink! Kefir itself is often sour, and rarely anyone likes to drink it without additives. A ripe fragrant banana comes to the rescue. There will be no need to add sugar and jam with it. You will get a real dessert that can replace a meal.

Step 1:
Prepare the ingredients for making a cocktail. Kefir take the fat content that you prefer, it's not critical. With fat, you will get a richer taste and a thicker drink, with fat-free, you don't have to worry about calories. Banana is best as ripe as possible, unripe will not give the drink a banana flavor and taste. If you are preparing a cocktail for a child, then take the kefir out of the refrigerator in advance so that it is not very cold.
Step 2:
Peel the banana and cut it into rings. In general, you can not even dirty the board and break the banana into pieces immediately in a blender.
Step 3:
What to whip up a cocktail in. The most suitable gadget for this, of course, is a blender. In it, the cocktail will rise quickly and get a very pleasant, silky consistency. But if you don't have such an assistant, then a good old immersion blender will come to the rescue. Now almost every mixer has such a nozzle. A chopper is also suitable if you do not make more than one serving in it.
Step 4:
Put banana slices in the blender bowl and pour kefir. Beat the cocktail for a minute. There should be no large pieces of banana left in it.
Step 5:
Pour the finished drink into glasses and serve immediately. Such a cocktail should not be kept for a long time, the banana will darken and spoil the look.

Since the blender appeared in the house, we have been constantly making similar cocktails from different drinks. Milk was used more often, but kefir is much healthier, and in this form it is also tastier.

You can adjust the density of the drink by the amount of banana. My option is for a thick, smoothie-like one.

If you don't have enough sweetness from a banana, then put a spoonful of honey.

Different spices, such as vanilla or cinnamon, also enhance the taste well.

To make the cocktail more saturated, you can add various berries to it. Fresh in summer, frozen in winter. The most successful combination is a banana with strawberries.

For a full breakfast, add a few spoonfuls of oatmeal to the drink. Pre-soak them for 10 minutes in kefir, and then whisk with a banana.

If you don't have any kitchen appliances at all, then whisk the cocktail with an ordinary whisk. Pre-mash the banana with a fork until it is mashed.
