Once again a Mercadona product is back in the news. This time it is about the new coconut kefir drink alternative. A probiotic yogurt whose more traditional options have become one of the consumer favorite foods from this supermarket. Pay attention that we tell you all its details.
Mercadona's new probiotic yogurt
On other occasions we have already talked about the benefits that kefir brings to our body. Magazine Nutrients ensures that "Kefir has many health benefits due to its antimicrobial, anticancer effects, modulation of the intestinal microbiota and antidiabetic effects”. That is why it is not surprising that more and more alternatives and options appear to choose from. And it is that, Mercadona offers various types such as the original, the soft, vanilla, mango, pasteurized, etc. Now innovate with the drink coconut kefir.
We have to differentiate between drinkable kefir and drink kefir. Then the first is a probiotic yogurt with just two ingredients. While in the second, kefir has many components. Being the water the protagonist, 13% coconut juice, sugars, flavorings and salt. Leaving very little room for kefir ferments. In addition, of every 100 grams, 8,8 are sugars. However, this percentage is still lower to that of other fruit yoghurts.
Thus, we can introduce Hacendado's new drinkable probiotic "yogurt" into our healthy diet. “One day we can have one or two yogurts, another day we can have yogurt and kefir and another day, we can have one or two servings of kefir. You have to vary between the two.” proposes Laura Arranz, doctor in food and nutrition.
Mercadona offers us a new alternative to kefir. It is true that this drinkable version of coconut is a little less healthy than the natural one. But it does not in any way remove the question that It is a very healthy and tasty product.. And you? Do you prefer the natural option or the new coconut drink?
