KEFIR YOGURT
Almost two weeks ago, Treat Petite on the corner of 7th Avenue and Grove Street in the West Village opened; serving coffee, tea, smoothies and frozen yogurt. You can pair your yogurt with crunchy sweet and salty additional ingredients like any other frozen yogurt shop in the city and your smoothies can be made with a variety of fruits. So what's unique about this new establishment? The yogurt used here is made from kefir milk and believe it or not, this is the first smoothie place in the city to use this product.
Why kefir? It is a fermented milk that is similar to a thinned out yogurt but it contains more probiotics. This enzyme enriched product is known to be more nutritious and restorative than yogurt, it supplies complete protein, essential minerals, and valuable B vitamins. It also helps balance your digestive system. Pregnant or nursing woman should drink this because it is a great source of nutrients. In kefir, you find about 12 probiotic cultures while regular yogurt only contains up to three strains of active cultures.
