Cranberry Mint Smoothie

Our Cranberry Mint Smoothie begins with a bottle of our probiotic-rich limited edition Cranberry Crème Brûlée Lifeway Kefir that’s not only delicious and gut-healthy, but also packed with complete protein. From here, we add a cup of cranberries, mint, an apple, banana, a couple tablespoons of pecans, maple syrup, and a bit of warm, comforting cinnamon. Fresh, fabulous, festive, and flavorful!

The Benefits of Cultured Dairy for Better Health:

Research continues to show the importance of eating healthy foods, including cultured dairy such as kefir, for optimal digestion and gut health, a strong immune system, and to support the microbiome. Fermented foods like kefir hold important value in this line of research due to the link between the gut-brain axis and overall health. Specifically, kefir has been shown to help diversify the microbiome, improve digestion, reduce inflammation, support healthier blood sugar levels, and improve satiety since the bioavailable protein it contains triggers the release of GLP-1.

Lifeway Kefir is packed with a variety of vital nutrients important for overall health, including bone and muscle health; these include vitamin D3, K, calcium, and vitamin B12. Along with our probiotic-rich kefir, Lifeway also offers artisan-made Farmer Cheese,a creamy, high-protein cheese made with live and active cultures to support healthy muscles and a healthy microbiome. Lifeway Farmer Cheese is easy to spread, free of gums and thickeners, and contains no added salt or sugar for optimal health benefits.
