Lifeway Foods will be debuting new low-fat kefir flavors at Natural Products Expo West that are decadent, dessert-like and seasonal. The brand's Rainbow Cake Lowfat Kefir and Campfire S'mores Lowfat Kefir are 99% lactose-free and made with all-natural, non-GMO ingredients.
Low-fat kefir is becoming increasingly popular among health-conscious consumers due to its high levels of live an active cultures, vitamins, and minerals. Low-fat kefir is also an excellent source of lean protein that speaks to consumers who are focused on fortifying their immune system through food.
