Sour Cherry Probiotic Smoothie

We can help our gut in the best way and help our bodies recover from exercise by making this super easy and adaptable smoothie (see options below) Kefir (dairy-free option) is highly probiotic and easy to find in most grocery stores. It is nutrition-rich fermented milk, high in calcium, protein and Vitamin D and Riboflavin.

I love cherries, and if you make this in cherry season feel free to pit and add fresh cherries. Sour cherries have been proven in numerous studies to help repair muscles. The flax seed will add fibre which keeps you full longer and the cinnamon adds a hint of anti-inflammation power too.
