Frozen Cherry Limeade Smoothie

We turned a classic summer drink into a probiotic-packed, tart and sweet frozen treat that’s a delight to sip on a warm and sunny day. Our Frozen Cherry Limeade Smoothie hits every flavor note with the perfect chilly finish. Made with protein-packed Lifeway Organic Whole Milk Black Cherry Kefir, which is loaded with billions of probiotics, this smoothie nourishes your gut health while also letting you indulge in a frosty summer treat.

This recipe comes together easily and takes on flavor notes of sweet, tangy, tart, and zesty, all with a frosty, creamy texture that’s ultra-satisfying considering the ingredients are minimal.

For starters, Lifeway Kefir packs this recipe with protein to keep you satiated, while cherries and dates are packed with prebiotic fiber and a wealth of antioxidants. Lime juice is rich in vitamin C for healthy skin and a healthy immune system, which means cherries, dates, and limes make delightful pairings for our kefir. Lifeway Kefir is an excellent cultured food to enjoy for a healthy immune system and a healthy gut all year round, but we have to say, it really shines in summer drinks like this.

Your taste buds and your gut are going to love this easy recipe, we just know it! Grab some Lifeway Kefir at a store near you here or shop online so you can enjoy this recipe with us.

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.
