How do you ferment smoothies?

I realize that I could ferment a bunch of fruits and veggies then just make a smoothy but if I can ferment after making the smoothy that seems a little easier and faster.

Someone already had success here but...

...they didn't recommend doing it at room temp so it took them about week or so in the fridge.

Another concern I have is oxidation and I have read elsewhere that this can be partially prevented by having larger particles of fiber (, but I would still like to be able to do this quicker if possible)

Also I wonder if extra water and the more pureed fruits/veggies (as opposed to chopping) would be a factor.

It might be possible at room temp with and airlock (s-curve) and grommet but I don't know.

Any thoughts appreciated!

Thanks

Why do you want to do this. I have not heard of it before.

I'm on a juice fast so the only fermented stuff I could have would need to be juice.



Also I found another link about how to ferment a smoothie

but I would still like any input and advice etc from anyone here.

You could make a smoothie with rejuvelac as the liquid. Is that something along the lines of what you're looking for?

It's funny you mention that because I am making my rejuvelac (1st ever) today, it's soaking right now.

I plan on doing that but it isn't enough for me to have just that fermented I would like to ferment the whole smoothie

Fermented smoothies sound pretty yucky but to avoid the oxidisation issue, it would be better to make smoothies out of fermented things I think. Even that sounds pretty gross to me though.

I thought about the oxidation and supposedly it happens much slower with smoothies than with juice.

If it becomes gross I guess I'll mix it with regular smoothie ingredients
