Being on a very restrictive diet often makes me miss foods I used to consume, a regular milkshake is one of them.
When I was battling really intense Ulcerative Colitis symptoms only months ago, I had to rely on an Elemental diet ( pre-digested food supplement ) I used to take 3-4 Absorb Plus shakes a day and that helped heal my gut and gave me energy to carry out my day to day activities. As my body slowly healed, I was able to decrease the number of Absorb plus and slowly introduce easy to digest foods.
Now, I still start my day with a nutrient packed shake that is much tastier than powder. I use Milk kefir and coconut milk kefir to power up my shake with 50+ strains of probiotics. The kefirs also offer a good source of good fats and protein, then I add my grass fed gelatin for more protein and gut healing powers and joint support. I keep a supple of frozen fruit in the freezer and add to it as I buy fresh fruit. I have found the combination of these ingredient gives me the best thick milkshake like texture and amazing taste.
This is my go to meal replacement, a treat or dessert. This shake is so good that it makes me forget all about any food restrictions.
Powderless power probiotic shake

|
- 1/8 c Milk Kefir
- 1/8 c Coconut milk Kefir
- 1 tsp Grass Fed Gelatin
- 1 tbsp Udo's oil
- 1 frozen banana
- 1-2 frozen strawberries
- handful of frozen fruit of your choice, sometimes I add baby greens from my garden
- 3 drops stevia ( optional )
- 2 tbsp water if your blender cannot handful all the frozen fruit
Instruction
- Put all ingredients in a blender, I use a Nutribullet and let everything sit for a couple minutes to defrost before blending, otherwise I sometimes get chunks of the frozen fruit in the smoothie. If you have Vitamix or Blendtec, you probably can go straight to blending.
