Happy Birthday, America! It’s time to party like it’s 1776 with our Red Firecracker Smoothie. It’s a refreshing, gut-healthy blend made with fresh fruit, honey, and our probiotic plain kefir. Strawberries and blueberries have nutrients and antioxidants, honey adds a touch of natural sweetness, and our kefir is loaded with protein and 12 live and active probiotic cultures that may aid in balancing the gut microbiome. Blend each portion of the smoothie separately, then layer the pink smoothie on the bottom, the white smoothie in the middle, and the red smoothie on top. One sip and you’ll see fireworks!
Prebiotics + Probiotics = a Healthy You
Prebiotics are non-living, non-digestible carbohydrates naturally found in a variety of foods. Your body actually can’t digest prebiotics, so they’re what probiotics feed off of to remain actively working in your digestive system. They help the digestive system by promoting the growth of good bacteria. Prebiotics and probiotics work together in balance to make sure our digestive system stays on track and regular. Research has found that consuming a variety of prebiotic and probiotic food sources may improve your body’s natural functions, including both your immune and digestive system.
