Preparation

• Chill the ingredients 🧊 Keep the kefir, yogurt, and blackberries cold before blending. If using fresh berries, chill them for at least 20 min so the smoothie stays thick and refreshing.
• Toast the walnuts 🌰 Place the walnuts in a dry pan over medium heat for 3–4 min, shaking often, until fragrant. Cool for 5 min before blending so they add aroma without warming the smoothie.
• Blend the base 🫐 Add blackberries, kefir, yogurt, honey, lemon juice, salt, cooled walnuts, vanilla if using, and ice to a blender. Blend for 45–60 sec until smooth and deeply purple.
• Adjust the texture 🥤 If the smoothie is too thick, add 30–60 ml (2–4 tbsp / 1–2 fl oz) cold kefir. If it is too sharp, add 5–10 g (1–2 tsp / 0.18–0.35 oz) more honey.
• Serve cold ✨ Pour into chilled glasses. Top with blackberries, crushed walnuts, a thin honey drizzle, and mint if using. Serve immediately while cold and creamy.
