Ok, and a tiny bit of maple syrup, lol!
With a nutritional value similar to milk, buttermilk is classed as low-fat when made with 1% milk and reduced-fat when made with 2% milk. The latter generally has slightly higher nutritional content than the low fat.

As a fermented milk product, buttermilk is considered a probiotic food, a food that contains live microorganisms that provide health benefits. Eating probiotics helps populate your intestine with health-promoting bacteria which may improve immune function and reduce diarrhea, among other potential health benefits, according to research.

This is my current favorite afternoon pick me up or morning kickstart (well, besides coffee). A light, cool, refreshing, filling, lip-moustaching drink. The companionship of buttermilk and maple are perfect for making the most of the brief but resplendent local peach season. I don’t even bother to peel the peaches, leaving little flecks of sunset dotting my drink.
