Ingredients

Fruit

1/2 to 3/4 cup frozen cherries
1/2 to 3/4 cup frozen berries of choice
1 frozen açaí packet (or 1-2 tbsp açaí puree)
1-2 tbsp frozen dragon fruit (for color)

Blend base

1-2 tbsp frozen passion fruit puree (store-bought frozen cubes, or homemade puree frozen in cubes)
1/2-1 tsp lemon juice
1-2 tbsp stevia powder, to taste
3/4 to 1 1/4 cups kefir (berry, cherry, or plain; start with about 1 cup and adjust)

Optional add-ins

1/2 tsp creatine (Clara's usual; optional for everyone else)
Kids multivitamin, blended in (optional, kids version)

Instructions

Add kefir to the blender first so the frozen fruit and powders move freely.
Add stevia, optional creatine, and optional kids multivitamin.

Prep
Add the frozen fruit, the frozen passion fruit puree, and the lemon juice.

Cooking
Blend on high 45-60 seconds until smooth and creamy. Stop and scrape the sides once if needed.
Thickness tip: start around 1 cup kefir for 1 to 1 1/2 cups frozen fruit. If it is too thick to blend, add a splash more kefir and blend again.
Only after blending, splash in a little water if you want it thinner to drink. Taste and adjust stevia or lemon. Pour and drink.

Notes

This build is optimized for kefir. For a non-dairy version you can leave the kefir out and use a non-dairy liquid you like, but the texture and tang will change.
Frozen passion fruit puree is the tart backbone (store-bought frozen cubes, or homemade puree frozen in cubes). Keep that spirit on every flavor, and go heavier on the peach passion fruit build.
Creatine and kids multivitamins are optional pantry add-ins. Use your usual serving sizes and skip anything you do not want in the blender.
Açaí works as a frozen packet or a spoon of puree. Dragon fruit is mainly for color.

Cherry-berry with açaí. Deep color and a nice tart finish.
