Recipe for Cherry Soup

2 cups plain Kiefer (dairy, goat or non-dairy) It is important that it is plain in order to get the full benefits of the probiotics. Also, sugar increases inflammation so you should avoid it where possible.

1 cup sweet cherries (pitted)

a few drops of stevia liquid)

Put the Kiefer, stevia and 1/2 of the cherries into a blender and process until smooth, add remaining cherries and pulse until cherries are chopped. Pour into a bowl and refrigerate until chilled. This makes a great dessert on a hot summer day, but it also makes a great breakfast smoothie or lite lunch.

Enjoy!
