MORTON GROVE, Ill. – Lifeway Foods, makers of the nutritious probiotic
beverage Kefir, is celebrating the 30th Anniversary of Natural Products Expo
West with the launch of its greenest product ever, Green Kefir with Phytoboost.
With all the immunity-boosting benefits of probiotic-rich Kefir in a
great-tasting fruit-flavored cultured milk smoothie, Green Kefir packs a
powerful nutritional punch with Lifeway’s proprietary blend of Phytoboost
phytonutrients that deliver the disease-fighting antioxidant power of 10 green
vegetables plus green tea extract in a single serving.
“Expo West is the greenest product showcase in the industry, so we thought it
was only fitting to introduce our greenest product ever in honor of its 30-year
anniversary,” said Julie Smolyansky, Lifeway CEO. “Packed with 80 mg of
plant-based polyphenols to neutralize free radicals and protect the body’s
delicate immune system, Green Kefir is a great-tasting drink with all the
nutrition of a salad in a bottle the ORAC equivalent of a full serving of
vegetables in every bottle.”
Available in two delicious flavors, Kiwi Passion Fruit and Pomegranate Acai
Blueberry, Green Kefir provides 100 percent of the USDA Recommended Daily Value
(RDV) of Vitamin C for a healthy immune system, 20 percent of the USDA RDV of
Vitamin A to protect cell tissue and support the circulatory system and 30
percent of the USDA RDV to maintain healthy skin and eyes.
Green Kefir is USDA Certified Organic and will begin shipping to hundreds of
Kefir retailers May 1. For a sneak-peek taste test before Green Kefir hits store
shelves, stop by Lifeway Foods’ Booth #3456 during Natural Products Expo West,
March 12-14 at the Anaheim Convention Center.
