- 2 tbsprolled oats

The method
Let’s blend this.
Let the oats absorb a little kefir before adding ripe kiwi. Stop blending when the fruit is smooth.

Rest · 2 min
Soak the oats & flax
Pour kefir into the jug and stir in oats and ground flax. Let stand for about two minutes. Wash the kiwis; peel them for a smoother finish or rub off the fuzz if keeping the skin.
Your cue: Cut away the firm ends of the kiwis before chopping.
Add the fruit
Chop the kiwis and peeled banana into small pieces and add them to the jug. Keep the optional honey aside until after tasting.
Your cue: Ripe kiwi should yield gently when pressed.
Blend · 30–40 sec
Blend just until smooth
Secure the lid, start on low and blend for about 30–40 seconds. Stop and check for fruit pieces; blend briefly again only if needed.
Your cue: The fruit should be incorporated, while tiny black kiwi seeds remain visible.
Taste the tang
Taste with a clean spoon after the blades stop. Stir or blend in the optional honey if desired, then pour and enjoy chilled.
Your cue: Kefir and kiwi make this naturally tangy; the seeds do not need to disappear.
The finish line
Here’s what you’re aiming for.
A tangy, creamy drink with tiny kiwi seeds and softened oat texture.
Too thick, thin or grainy?Blending times are starting points; use the texture cues and your blender’s instructions. Loading order is for a typical upright jug. Switch off before scraping or tasting, and never put utensils into moving blades.
Pro tips
- Leave the skin on one kiwi. It doubles the fiber and you will not taste it once blended.
- If you are new to kefir, start with half a cup and build up over a week.
Frequently asked questions
In studies, people ate two kiwis daily for four weeks. Many notice a difference within the first week, but give it a month before judging.
