Step-by-Step Instructions

Prepare the Strawberries: Start by washing the strawberries thoroughly under cold water. Remove the stems and any leaves. Pat them dry using a clean kitchen towel or a paper towel.
Blending Begins: Place the strawberries in a blender. Add one teaspoon of honey to the strawberries. Pour in a few tablespoons of kefir, enough to help the strawberries blend smoothly.
Blend Together: Blend the mixture until the strawberries are pureed and well-combined with the honey and kefir. The mixture should be smooth without any large strawberry chunks.
Add Remaining Kefir: Pour in the remaining cup of kefir into the blender with the strawberry mixture.
Final Blend: Blend the mixture again briefly just to combine everything together.
Taste Test: Before serving, taste the drink. Adjust the sweetness by adding more honey if desired, blending briefly to combine.
Serve the Drink: Pour the blended beverage into a glass. To make it more appealing, you might pour it through a sieve to remove any strawberry seeds if preferred.
Garnish: Optionally, garnish with fresh mint leaves and a sliced strawberry on the edge of the glass for an extra touch.
Chill and Enjoy: Chill the drink for a few minutes if you prefer it cold. Serve immediately to enjoy the freshness.
Clean Up: Remember to clean your blender promptly for easy washing.

Tips
