Made simple with fresh pineapples and Lifeway Kefir, our delicious Pineapple Popsicles are a delight for the senses and are super easy to whip up with only three ingredients. Your taste buds will love the tart, tropical flavor, while your gut will appreciate the protein and probiotics found in Lifeway Kefir for the perfect pop that loves you back!
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 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 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 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.
