Take a little sip of heaven with our Berry Cloud Bliss Smoothie! This beautiful blend layers velvety whipped Lifeway Farmer Cheese with a mix of berries and Lifeway Kefir, making it the ultimate treat. With its pink and white cloud design, we think this drink is a masterpiece for the ages. But beyond its beautiful appearance, this powerful blend of Farmer Cheese and Lifeway Kefir is packed with bioavailable nutrients, including high-quality protein, calcium, and vitamin D. It’s also loaded with beneficial bacteria to support your gut and improve immunity.
Several studies have shown a strong association between the gut-brain-microbiota. Probiotics introduced to the gut have been found to support immunity, improve allergies, and improve digestion.
Studies have shown that reduced diversity of healthy gut bacteria during early years is associated with an increase in food allergies during school-age years. In addition, kefir made from whole milk helps absorb key nutrients such as Vitamins A, D, E, and K. Vitamin K is important because it helps your bones absorb calcium. It’s important to know that kefir contains a special trio: vitamin D, K, and calcium – all three crucial elements to support bone health.
