Authentic kefir, elevated

Made from freshly fermented kefir using a carefully selected traditional culture blend, this concept delivers the characteristic tangy flavour that consumers associate with authentic kefir.

The innovative instant ready-mix contains all the functional ingredients required to transform kefir into a creamy, aerated soft-serve, eliminating the need for pasteurization or homogenization. This simplifies production while helping preserve the nutritional integrity of the final product.

High protein with creamy indulgence

Creating protein-rich frozen desserts can often impact texture and mouthfeel. This concept combines whey protein concentrate and marine collagen to achieve effective protein enrichment while maintaining a smooth, creamy consistency.

Carefully selected ingredients help ensure:
  • Excellent aeration
  • Smooth texture
  • Rich mouthfeel
  • Consistent product quality

The result is a soft-serve experience that delivers indulgence without compromise:

Kefir Soft-Serve Bliss Concept

Supporting digestive wellness

The inclusion of soluble corn fibre enhances the nutritional profile by increasing fibre content without adding viscosity or negatively affecting texture.

Combined with live kefir cultures, this concept supports digestive wellness positioning while maintaining a light and enjoyable sensory experience.

Beauty and wellness from within

A dedicated collagen premix combines marine collagen with Vitamin E, Vitamin B9, and Zinc to create opportunities for beauty-focused positioning. These nutrients help support healthy skin, strong hair, and overall vitality, adding functional value to every serving.

Lactose-free and reduced sugar

Through lactose hydrolysis enabled by lactase, the concept provides a lactose-free solution that aligns with digestive comfort trends and broadens consumer appeal.

Natural flavour solutions help enhance sweetness perception and elevate the characteristic fermented dairy notes of kefir, allowing for sugar reduction while maintaining a satisfying taste profile.

Crafted for a balanced sensory experience

A tailored combination of stabilizers and texturizing ingredients ensures excellent product stability, smooth mouthfeel, and optimal viscosity.

The use of coconut oil powder contributes additional creaminess, while specialized aerating ingredients deliver the light, fluffy texture consumers expect from premium soft-serve.

Together, these ingredients create a frozen dessert that successfully combines functionality, nutrition, and indulgence.

Functional benefits in every spoonful

This concept goes beyond traditional frozen desserts by incorporating:
  • Whey proteins and marine collagen for protein enrichment
  • Soluble fibre to support digestive wellness
  • Live kefir cultures for authentic fermented dairy character
  • Vitamin and mineral fortification for beauty and wellness positioning
  • Natural flavours to enhance taste and sweetness perception
  • Lactase for lactose-free enjoyment
