Do you recommend a certain Lifeway Kefir product?
They are all so good, it would be hard to choose a favorite! However, for this smoothie recipe, I used their small batch, Organic Grass-fed Vanilla Kefir that is made with certified organic full fat milk for a nutritious and delicious smoothie. There is only 1g added sugar per ounce, so it’s even amazing for a midday energy booster/snack!
