“Being very active, working two manual labor jobs and regularly exercising, means I need A LOT of calories to keep my energy up and perform at my best. Trying to find ways to fit in good, quality food on-the-go can be tough, so planning ahead of time is a must! Every single morning, I start off with a whole bottle of Lifeway Perfect 12 Kefir. My Favorite flavor is Triple Berry Tart. I’ve been drinking Lifeway every day since around 2009!”
