Deconstructed Veggie Smoothies

A smoothie trifecta: simple, clean, and healthy. All you have to do is raid your fridge for a few fruits, veggies, and of course a little bit of probiotic-rich Lifeway Kefir.We made three delicious combinations using our probiotic-rich Lifeway Kefir options to try in this recipe, and the result is a colorful, probiotic-rich breakfast of all-stars! Veggies are such an important food to work into your day; they offer vitamins, minerals, and prebiotic fiber, and they have protective benefits on all parts of the body and brain.

Lifeway Kefir offer billions of probiotic cultures per serving, thanks to our high-quality standards for supporting your gut health, brain health, and immunity.

Cultured Dairy: The Nutrition Benefits You Need to Know

With increasing research linking the correlation between probiotics, gut health, and immunity, it’s no secret that the integrity of our gut is vital to our health. Although additional factors such as stress, antibiotic usage, and individual health conditions can contribute to the condition of our gut, a focus on healthy food choices is one of the easiest ways to support the microbiome.

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.
