Kefir Popsicles Featuring Lifeway Low-fat Mixed Berry Milk

For as long as I can remember, I’ve struggled with gut issues. While in high school, there’d be days I’d miss school due to abdominal pain and extreme bloat. My body needed routine, and, if I strayed from that routine, I’d be in trouble. As I’ve aged, I’ve gotten a better handle on my gut health and have formed healthy habits to ensure more symptom free days. Probiotic drinks that are low in lactose, such as kefir, have become an important staple in my day to day. Probiotics really help soothe my gut. When my gut is happy, my entire body is happy!

I am so excited to continue a partnership with Lifeway – my favorite manufacturer of kefir – to bring you this amazing recipe. Lifeway is the largest manufacturer of kefir in the United States and has been growing strong since 1980s. The brand offers delicious, drinkable kefir as well as farmer’s cheese and a line of products specifically for kids. Each cup of Lifeway’s all natural kefir has 12 live and active cultures and is 99% lactose free. Lifeway’s kefir is safe for all ages, and all flavors taste amazing! The brand now has an oat milk collection as well for plant-based and vegan diets.
