Probiotic Dirty Soda

We’re loving the dirty soda trend that’s been taking over our social media feed, but we’re not so sure about those mystery ingredients. Potassium benzoate? Sounds more like a science fair project than a drink. So, we stepped in to give it a Lifeway makeover. We grabbed a bottle of Lifeway Kefir, a can of Olipop prebiotic soda, and a few other ingredients to make our Probiotic Dirty Soda [clean version].

Like the best dirty sodas, our recipe is smooth, sweet, and delicious. But this one’s made with natural ingredients and packed with bioavailable protein and probiotics from Lifeway Kefir. And with Olipop’s prebiotics in the mix, the good bacteria in our kefir get the fuel they need to thrive. The dirty soda viral sensation has officially cleaned up its act.

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.
