At Natural Products Expo East, Lifeway Foods debuted a vegan probiotic beverage to expand its portfolio of probiotic products. The all-new plant-based Lifeway Oat line helps to support the microbiome with 10 live and active cultures that are free from dairy and certified vegan. Made with 100% whole-grain oats, the beverages are packed with heart-healthy ingredients and they can be found in satisfying flavors like vanilla, strawberry vanilla, peaches and cream, berries and cream, apple cinnamon and blueberry maple. For those who prefer their probiotic beverages unflavored, the brand also offers a plain option.
The drinkable plant-based beverages are nourishing wellness drinks that tap into some of the highest consumer demands of the moment, which are only set to grow over the coming years.
