Description
I've recently started drinking kefir, and found that it's a delicious and easy way to get tons of probiotics and healthy dairy fats. Emerging research is showing a new essential fatty acid known as Pentadecanoic Acid (C15), which is only found in dairy fat. With 9 g of fat, 11 g of protein, and no added sugar, this drink is highly satiating and great for your gut microbiome!
