The Smoothie That Strengthens Your Cellular Health

Rich in probiotics, antioxidants, and one of the only food-based sources of the newly recognized essential fatty acid C15:0

A newly identified essential fatty acid C15:0, or pentadecanoic acid, helps stabilize cell membranes, reduce inflammation, and improve mitochondrial function. It’s been linked to better sleep, steadier energy, and slower biological aging. While supplementing is the best way to increase your levels of C15:0, one of the best natural sources is whole-fat dairy. 

This smoothie pairs whole milk kefir with wild blueberries (for cognitive and vascular support), ground flaxseed (for omega-3s and gut-friendly fiber), and a touch of banana, vanilla, and cinnamon for balanced flavor and metabolic support.
