Note: Ensure that all ingredients, especially kombucha and plant-based yogurt, contain live probiotic cultures. The potency of probiotics depends on the brands used, so it's worth checking the labels. This drink is potent in probiotics, so it's good to start with a small serving.

Ingredients

1 cup coconut kefir (fermented coconut milk, rich in probiotics)
1/2 cup kombucha (a fermented tea, great for probiotics)
1/2 cup soy or almond yogurt (plant-based, contains live cultures)
1 ripe banana (for prebiotics to feed probiotics)
1 tablespoon raw, unfiltered apple cider vinegar (natural probiotics)
1 tablespoon maple syrup or agave nectar (for vegan sweetness)
1/2 teaspoon turmeric (for anti-inflammatory properties)
A pinch of black pepper (enhances turmeric absorption)
1/4 teaspoon ginger powder (for digestion)
Optional: a handful of fresh spinach or kale (for added nutrients)

Instructions

In a blender, combine the coconut kefir, kombucha, and plant-based yogurt. Blend until smooth.

Add the banana, apple cider vinegar, maple syrup or agave nectar, turmeric, black pepper, ginger powder, and optional leafy greens. Blend again until smooth.

If the drink is too thick, you can thin it with a little bit of water or more kombucha.

Pour into a glass and enjoy right away to get the most live probiotic benefits.

Optional Garnish: Garnish with a sprinkle of cinnamon or a few mint leaves for an extra touch.
