Organic Skyr Offers Traditional Probiotic Cultures in 5 Delicious Flavors
Known for its rich flavor, creamy texture, and potent health benefits, Skyr has been a part of Icelandic cuisine for centuries. Made in small batches for maximum freshness, Lifeway’s new Organic Skyr boasts 14 probiotic cultures, including 2 strains that are essential to authentic Icelandic Skyr. Made with organic whole milk and packed with 18 grams of protein, Lifeway’s Organic Skyr is a gluten-free superfood with a silky, indulgent texture. Available in five varieties: natural, blueberry, wildberry, ancient grains and honey. Lifeway’s Organic Skyr comes in a resealable cup with a spoon, making it a perfect option for anyone seeking a healthy breakfast or on-the-go snack.
Plantiful Delivers Probiotcs and Protein in a tasty Vegan Beverage
As the leading supplier of kefir in the U.S., Lifeway is expanding its lineup of tantalizing probiotic beverages with Plantiful, a new plant-based protein drink. Made from organic and non-GMO pea, hemp and rice protein, the Plantiful blend contains 5 vegan kefir cultures for an invigorating infusion of gut-healthy probiotics. Available in 4 flavors, Plantiful is an organic, dairy-, gluten- and soy-free beverage everyone can feel good about.
Sparkling Probiotic Elixir Offers Nutritious Refreshment
For some spellbinding refreshment, visitors at Expo East can also sample Lifeway’s new sparkling Elixir. Launched earlier this year, these organic, non-dairy, carbonated probiotic beverages offer a thirst-quenching alternative to sugary soda and traditionally creamy probiotic beverages.
