Lifeway Foods has expanded its functional beverage portfolio with the launch of an innovative range of Probiotic Smoothie + Collagen drinks, made with kefir cultures to support both gut and skin health.

The lactose-free functional beverage combines kefir cultures with 5g of collagen per serving and is available in four flavours: matcha latte, berry blast, tropical fruit and plain.

The Probiotic Smoothie + Collagen line combines 12 live and active cultures, 25–30 billion CFUs and 5g of collagen per serving to support skin hydration, elasticity, smoothness and joint health. Made with kefir, it also promotes a healthy microbiome and provides bioavailable nutrients like vitamins A, B and D, protein, and essential fatty acids for skin cell production.

According to the company, Lifeway Foods' Probiotic Smoothie + Collagen is the first probiotic collagen smoothie with kefir cultures, developed since 2021. Launching as part of the 2025 New Year New You campaign, it will be available nationwide in select independent and speciality stores by year-end.
