Spirulina n’ Sweet Smoothie

For something new, try our delicious probiotic Spirulina n’ Sweet Smoothie. Made with a mix of Lifeway Kefir, Lifeway Farmer Cheese, and a blend of tropical fruits, this smoothie is sure to leave an impression. We use Lifeway Kefir and Lifeway Farmer Cheese to give it a rich, creamy texture while packing it with probiotic cultures, and blue spirulina for stunning color and a boost of antioxidants. The beneficial bacteria in the kefir and farmer cheese are fueled by the prebiotic fiber in the fruit, making this blend a top choice for gut support.

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.
