If you’re pining for a refreshing treat, we’ve got just what you need! Made simple with fresh pineapples and Lifeway Kefir, our 3 Ingredient Pineapple Popsicles are a delight for the senses and your gut health. Your taste buds will love the tart, tropical flavor, while Lifeway Kefir’s probiotics are sure to keep your tummy happy, too.
Made with Lifeway Vanilla Whole Milk Kefir, these pineapple popsicles are sweet, juicy, and refreshing. Lime juice brings out the flavor of the pineapple while Lifeway Kefir delivers gut-healthy probiotics your gut will love.
Our kefir makes perfectly creamy popsicles that provides complete protein to nourish your muscles while the live probiotics kefir contains fuel your microbiome. Pineapple is a healthy fruit to enjoy for better digestion thanks to the digestive enzyme it contains known as bromelain. Bromelain helps your body digest protein more efficiently and soothes inflammation in the body. So while these pops might look simple, they’re the perfect gut-healthy treat!
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 better 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, support the digestive system, reduce inflammation, support healthier blood sugar levels, and improve satiety since the bioavailable protein it contains triggers the release of GLP-1. Lifeway Kefir also contains a variety of nutrients that are vital for healthy bones and overall health including vitamins D3, K, and B 12 along with calcium and potassium. Along with our kefir, we also offer our creamy, cultured Lifeway Farmer Cheese, a high protein cheese made with live and active cultures to support a healthy microbiome that’s easy to spread and contains no added salt or sugar.
