If you don't know what Kefir is, it is basically like yogurt but much more nutritious. It's known for having probiotics which help in digestion. For those of you who don't drink milk or eat yogurt because of lactose intolerance, kefir can be easily digested.
Drinking the plain by itself is not that tasty. I would recommend blending it with frozen fruit or mixing it with fruit as a snack. Lifeway Kefir comes in other flavors but check the labels as they are sweetened with sugar.
If you do eat yogurt or drink milk, I would say try this product out (at least the plain version.)
Recipes
True Blue Treat
Great ice cream alternative!
Pour frozen blueberries into pretty clear bowl. Pour Strawberry Lifeway Kefir over berries to cover. Stir slightly. TRY to wait 60 seconds before eating! As blueberries melt, kefir freezes.
A scrumptious nutritious treat without additives. Very satisfying!
Good year round.
