Skin Enhancing Green Smoothie

Made with a curated list of ingredients to target skin health, our Skin Enhancing Green Smoothie will leave you feeling beautiful inside and out. We begin with Lifeway Kefir, which is loaded with probiotics to help support gut health because an off-kilter gut can lead to skin inflammation resulting in everything from dry skin to acne and more. We then add mangoes and carrots for vitamin A (beta-carotene) and fiber, and pineapples for vitamin C and the digestive enzyme bromelain to further reduce skin swelling. We finish with spinach and kale, which are rich in plant nutrition with calcium, folate, fiber, and vitamin A.  All these contain nutrients that may help to rejuvenate skin, making it look younger and more vibrant.

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, improve digestion, reduce inflammation, support healthier blood sugar levels, and improve satiety since the bioavailable protein it triggers the release of GLP-1.

Lifeway Kefir also contains a variety of nutrients that are vital for healthy bones and overall health: vitamin D3, K, calcium, and vitamin B12. Along with our kefir, we also offer our artisan-made Farmer Cheese, a creamy high-protein cheese made with live and active cultures to support a healthy microbiome that’s easy to spread and contains no added salt for optimal heart-health benefits.
