1 cup frozen or fresh fruit of choice (e.g., berries, mango, pineapple)
1 cup plain kombucha (any flavor)
0.5 cup liquid (almond milk, coconut milk, or water) Shop
1 tbsp nut butter (almond, cashew), chia seeds, or unflavored protein powder Shop
0.5 tsp pure vanilla extract Shop
1 tbsp honey or maple syrup (optional, adjust to taste) Shop
0.5 cup ice cubes (optional, for extra chill)

Instructions

1 Combine the frozen or fresh fruit of choice and your chosen liquid (almond milk, coconut milk, or water) into a high-speed blender. Ensure your kombucha and any flavored liquids are gluten-free.
2 Add the nut butter, chia seeds, or unflavored protein powder, along with the pure vanilla extract, to the blender. If you desire extra sweetness, include the honey or maple syrup at this stage.
3 Secure the lid and blend on high speed for approximately 60 to 90 seconds, or until the mixture is completely smooth and has a uniform, creamy consistency. Listen for the blender to achieve a consistent hum, indicating all ingredients are fully incorporated.
4 Taste and adjust the sweetness if needed. Pour in the kombucha and pulse only 2-3 times, or stir it in gently, so it keeps its fizz.
5 Pour the refreshing mocktail into chilled glasses and serve immediately to enjoy its effervescence and vibrant flavors. For a thicker smoothie bowl consistency, use less liquid and top with gluten-free granola, seeds, and fresh fruit.

Tips & Notes

Blend the fruit, milk, nut butter and vanilla first, then pour in the kombucha and pulse only 2-3 times. Long blending knocks out the fizz that step 5 serves it for.
Choose a kombucha labeled gluten-free and check that it says non-alcoholic. Most kombucha is brewed from tea and sugar, but some flavored or hard versions are not.
Use water as the liquid for a brighter, fizzier mocktail. Almond or coconut milk makes it creamy but mutes the tang of the kombucha.
