Yummy Yogurts for kids! Kefir, healthier alternative to yogurt.

September 20th, 2008 · 5 Comments

Introducing: ProBugs Organic Whole Milk Kefir.

What the heck is Kefir?

“Kefir stimulates protein digestion and appetite, decreases the cholesterol content in blood, improves salivation, and excretion of stomach and pancreatic enzymes and peristalsis.

Kefir consumption stimulates microphage production and improves immunity. It has a favorable effect on the resistance of humans to catching colds and other diseases.

Pro Bugs Kefir comes in these wonderfully colored packages designed to make kids love them. Out of the box and into their mouths and begging for more. These products come in Sublime Slime Lime, Orange Creamy Crawler, and Goo Berry Pie. The only argument from my customers was which color they were going to drink. There is a screw cap lid and an almost spill proof container..mine spill everything though.

Below is a list of the nutritional facts and Consumer Reports did an article about which yogurts are the best for kids (link here) Dannons Danimals has the least amount of sugar per 4 ounce serving. ProBugs is a five ounce serving and has 13 sugar grams with nearly and 9grams of protein. The ingredients in Organic Whole Milk Kefir is “ORGANIC CULTURED PASTEURIZED GRADE A MILK, ORGANIC CANE JUICE, ORGANIC LEMON/LIME JUICE CONCENTRATE, ORGANIC INULIN (A NATURAL DIETARY FIBER), VIT A PALMITATE, VIT D3
CONTAINS MILK.”

To my eye, this product seems like a healthier alternative to regular yogurt. My kids LOVED IT!!

ProBugs can be found across the US in stores such as Whole Foods, Wild Oats, Sprouts, Albertons, and Safeway just to name a few.
