HOW TO ENJOY IT ON KETO

  • Probiotic cultures (Lactobacillus acidophilus) can support gut health on keto
  • Moderate fat helps satiety and may blunt glycemic response
  • Carbs are workable in small portions under a flexible keto approach
  • Typically unsweetened—avoids added sugars found in many dairy drinks
  • Improved gut balance may aid nutrient absorption
  • Best used as an occasional functional food rather than a daily staple

HEALTH BENEFITS

  • Live cultures may reduce bloating, improve digestion, and support immune function
  • Provides calcium and phosphorus for bone and tooth health
  • Vitamin B12 supports red blood cell production and energy metabolism
  • Potential to enhance micronutrient absorption
  • Balanced gut flora may help reduce sugar cravings over time
  • Can be gentler than regular milk for some due to partial lactose metabolism

PREPARATION SUGGESTIONS

MORNING DIGESTIVE SHOT

Sip 4–6 oz for probiotic support; enjoy plain or with a dusting of cinnamon—count the carbs toward your daily total.

PROBIOTIC PROTEIN SHAKE

Blend 4 oz with almond-milk-unsweetened, low-carb vanilla whey, and 1 tsp nut butter; adjust to fit macros.

WARM CULTURED BEVERAGE

Let come to room temp before drinking for max culture activity; sip slowly to aid digestion.

CREAMY SALAD DRESSING

Whisk a few tablespoons with olive oil, apple-cider-vinegar, and herbs for a tangy, probiotic dressing.

SOUP ENRICHMENT

Stir in 2–3 tbsp off heat to keep cultures viable and add gentle creaminess.

KEFIR SUBSTITUTE

Use as a lighter, slightly lower-carb stand-in when you want probiotic benefits without a full kefir serving.
