Lifeway Kefir featured in 'Sex and the City 2'

CHICAGO Lifeway Kefir, a probiotic beverage made by Lifeway Foods, will be featured as a product placement in the “Sex and the City 2” movie starring Sarah Jessica Parker, the company announced Tuesday.

Abottle of Lifeway Kefir can be seen in the kitchen of the fictional character Miranda Hobbes (played by Cynthia Nixon) in one scene in the movie. "[Even some] 10 years ago, Lifeway Kefir was a niche product,” stated Julie Smolyansky, Lifeway CEO. “Today it's mainstream. Nothing makes that clearer than seeing it in a movie like 'Sex and the City 2' with stars like Sarah Jessica Parker and a pedigree that includes six years of top TV ratings," she added. "This is excellent exposure for our brand among one of our primary target audiences – health-minded women in the 25-54 age bracket. It's hard to imagine a better fit for a movie placement."

In addition to its line of Lifeway Kefir, the company also recently introduced Green Kefir with Phytoboost, a beverage that includes the same 10 live probiotic cultures as its regular kefir plus the antioxidant power of 10 green vegetables and green tea extract in a single serving. These newest kefirs are available in kiwi passion fruit and pomegranate acai blueberry flavors with 80 mg of plant-based polyphenols.
