Fresh fruit whips up with the creaminess of kefir—the result is a delicious nutrient-packed drink. Making your own flavored kefir is a great way to include your own taste preferences. This kefir gets its immune-boosting properties from fresh mango and carrot juice. Each serving has 130 percent of the daily value for vitamin A (6,333 IU) and 100 percent for vitamin C (60 milligrams); both are important nutrients when it comes to boosting immune response. Serves 2 (1 cup each)
Combine all of the ingredients in a blender and blend until frothy and smooth.
Divide between 2 glasses and serve, or store in the refrigerator for up to 3 or 4 days.
