Priobiotic Dessert
Kyle Washburn READ TIME: 1 MIN.
Probiotics are microorganisms that help our bodies by inhibiting toxic producing bacteria from affecting our intestinal balance. Think of them as natural pepto or antacids.
They help stimulate digestion and support the immune system.
They are added to many foods, but most of us think of yogurts and dietary supplements as ways to get this healthy kick in our diet.
There is a much tastier way to add probiotics into your diet, and it comes in the form of a frozen dessert.
Lifeway frozen kefir is an alternative to frozen yogurt. It is just as tasty and creamy and truly is very good. It also contains 10 live probiotic cultures (up to three times more than yogurt with roughly half the calories).
If you are looking for something to fill your sweet tooth and also your appetite for healthy eating, try some Lifeway frozen kefir.
I sampled the strawberry flavor, and it was very good; great texture, taste and sweetness.
Other flavors include pomegranate, mango and original. It is also all-natural, gluten-free and 99% lactose free, all in only 90 calories per serving.
Go on and dish yourself a bowl of this healthy treat.
