r e you feeling an early infusion of holiday cheer? Wonderful times with family and friends are rapidly approaching, which include many traditional entrées, and of course, all those decadent desserts. It’s no surprise that many Americans invariably gather extra pounds this time of year. While we should certainly enjoy our holiday celebrations, wouldn’t it be nice to have more treats available that taste sinfully delicious while being good for us too? Happily, we have some enticing options, thanks to Lifeway, a historic company offering the largest selection of Kefir in the world. Kefir is a creamy, probiotic dairy beverage, similar to but distinct from yogurt.

That’s 12 live and active cultures per cup! Lifeway’s holiday flavors—like Gingerbread, Pumpkin Spice and Cranberry Crème Bruleé—may taste like decadent desserts, but these creamy, cultured milk smoothies have all the healthful benefits you’ve come to expect from Lifeway Kefir: 99% lactose free, naturally gluten free, 12 live and active probiotic cultures, excellent source of calcium and protein, low-fat, and all natural.

A Holiday Dessert Worth Celebrating One of the best parts of the holidays is sharing great food with your loved ones.

o you take vitamins? Many wellness-minded people realize that our diets can’t adequately cover us nutritionally on a daily basis. In fact, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, less than 9% of Americans consume the recommended 5-9 servings of fresh produce required for optimal health and disease prevention. The key is selecting a truly highquality, well-absorbed, multi-vitamin mineral formula. And needless to say, they’re not all created equal. That’s where Garden of Life comes in.
