Experience the taste of summer with our Watermelon Mango Smoothie made with Lifeway Kefir! It’s loaded with nutrient-dense fruit and a double-dose of Lifeway Kefir’s probiotic, protein-packed goodness.
Blend this beauty up with us while watermelon is in season, and feel free to mix and match any flavors of Lifeway Kefir you want if you can’t find the flavors we used. Mangoes, Lifeway Kefir, and watermelon all make a great combination for your gut health and skin no matter which flavors of our delicious, probiotic-rich kefir you use. We chose to freeze the watermelon ahead of time for an extra frosty treat, so take this extra step if you have time—it’s worth it!
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.
