Lifeway Foods, a leader in probiotic and nutritious foods, has launched their Veggie Kefir available in grocery stores throughout the U.S. Each bottle packs the nutritional punch of a full serving of vegetables. With a smooth texture plus 10 grams of complete protein, Veggie Kefir offers a choice of Beet, Cucumber, and Tomato flavors. It is available in 8 oz individual bottles.

4 reasons you should give them a try.

1.Protein, abundant in kefir, increases satiety and reduces hunger cravings throughout the day.

2.Kefir contains Alpha Hydroxy Acid (AHA), a popular ingredient in skin care products

3.The live and active probiotic cultures found in kefir may help support digestion.

4.Veggie Kefir taste great!

They are great to drink straight from the bottle for a afternoon boost or on the go pick me up. They also work well in recipes!
