Most seasonal pumpkin spice offerings prioritize flavor above all, but Lifeway Foods and Erewhon Market are delivering this in-demand taste with added functional benefits in the new, limited-edition Love Your Gut Pumpkin Spice Smoothie. Made with Lifeway Organic Plain Kefir, this member smoothie for October feeds into the demand for all things pumpkin spice-flavored, while supporting health-conscious consumers' interest in gut health.
Alongside Lifeway's Organic Plain Kefir—a source of protein, calcium and a dozen live and active probiotic cultures—this limited-edition blended beverage features nutrient-packed ingredients like organic pumpkin puree, organic dates, pumpkin spice seasoning, cinnamon, organic banana, and cold brew, plus organic dairy cream.
The Love Your Gut Pumpkin Spice Smoothie can be picked up at all Erewhon Market locations, only throughout October.
