Lifeway Elixir Probiotic Beverage Review


Fro-yo girl here. Lifeway Foods introduced the Elixir line of probiotic beverages in 2017. I don’t think I’ve seen them where I usually shop until recently, when it turned up at the Grocery Outlet for $1.49 and a comparable price of $2.99.

The elixirs are 12 oz in nice glass bottles. They can be enjoyed on their own or as a mixer in cocktails. They’re made with 1% juice. With live and active cultures, the elixirs are low in sugar and calories, gluten-free, caffeine-free, kosher, organic, and vegan.

Available flavors: Tangerine, Elderberry, Hibiscus, Ginger

The elderberry Elixir was light and tangy. I could taste the elderberry but the drink tasted more like carbonated water than juice. It wasn’t as sweet as usual. I liked it because I like elderberry – it’s not a flavor that I see too often.

The tangerine Elixir had very little tangerine flavor, which was definitely disappointing.

One serving of Elixir (one bottle) had 50 calories and 9g sugars. It’s comparable to kombucha without the tea and the kombucha flavor.

Ingredients (Elderberry): Carbonated water, organic cane sugar, organic coconut water (water, organic coconut water concentrate), organic natural elderberry flavor, organic elderberry juice (water, organic elderberry juice concentrate), citric acid, inulin, bacillus coagulans

3.5 out of 5 stars.

You know you love me. X0 X0, fro-yo girl.
