What it is
This is a ready-to-drink smoothie designed for convenience. It is made with a blend of fruits and includes live and active cultures, specifically probiotics. The beverage aims to offer a refreshing and easy way to consume these beneficial microorganisms as part of a daily routine. It is a plant-based option, meaning it does not contain dairy ingredients.
How people cook with it

To enjoy, simply open the container and drink. It is best served chilled. You can also pour it over ice for a more refreshing experience. For a different texture, consider blending it with a few ice cubes to create a thicker, slushier consistency.

How to keep the rest
After opening, refrigerate any unused portion immediately. It should be consumed within a few days of opening to maintain freshness and the viability of the live cultures. Keep the container tightly sealed when not in use to prevent spoilage and contamination.
