I have to start drinking a probiotic drink. I found the Lifeway Keifer (strawberry flavor) and so far I like it. I have not ventured to WF, but I assume they have more of a selection. Which brand/flavor do you like?

I personally would look for something with less sugar, since it kind of defeats some of the benefit of probiotics if you are loading it up with sugar. THe sugar helps the not so great flora take over and is yeast friendly.

I would probably buy something unsweetened, but that may not fit your needs.

My kids drink the Lifeway Kefir but it is seriously loaded with sugar, so I don't think of it as particularly healthy for them when they have it. I usually try to mix some of the sweetened stuff with plain unsweetened yogurt when I can (and dilute a bit with milk if needed to make it thin enough to drink).
