Sufganiyot, also called sufganiyah, are a dessert traditionally eaten during Hanukkah. Similar to a donut, they’re deep-fried, sugar-coated and filled with different flavors of jelly. While the traditional versions are high in fat and sugar, we’ve cut down on the guilt by replacing the heavy buttermilk with Lifeway Lowfat Plain Kefir and skipped the fryer all together (muffin […]

Last Minute Dessert: Peanut Butter Kefir Smoothie Cups
Have you ever been in a pinch to pull together a dish for a last minute gathering? We certainly have! In fact, one of our Lifeway team members needed a dessert for an after work gathering just a few days ago. Instead of running to the grocery store to buy a box of generic cookies, […]
Kale Quinoa Salad with Cranberries and Farmer Cheese
Our second Thanksgiving recipe creation is a nutritional powerhouse – Kale Quinoa Salad with Cranberries and Farmer Cheese. So good. When it comes to Thanksgiving side dishes, most tables are stacked with starchy casseroles, sugary fruit salads and butter-drenched vegetables laced with “cream of something” soup. While they can be absolutely delicious (once again, Green Bean […]

Fall in a Bowl: Apple Cinnamon Oatmeal with Kefir and Pecans
This time of year, few things seem as difficult as waking up in the morning. The sun comes up later (and goes down earlier…) and frost blankets our windows, making heading out the door a daunting task. There’s a bright spot to the cold, dark mornings of late fall and winter, though: it’s hot breakfast […]
Candy Corn Kefir Smoothie
Candy corn: you either love them or you hate them. Arguably the most ubiquitous Halloween candy alongside the similarly textured candy pumpkins and super sticky caramel creams, these corn kernel-shaped confections are typically both bought and consumed in bulk this time of year but quickly forgotten come November first (ok, seventh – we always have […]
Apple Cider Pecan Mini Doughnuts. You’re Welcome.
We collected quite the bounty of fresh apples while visiting the orchard last weekend and have been dying to bake with them ever since! We know there are quite a few apple recipes located on our blog that we love, but we weren’t in the mood for cookies, a smoothie or a big slice of pie […]
Sharing our #MotherCulture + Easy Baby Food Recipe
The benefits of abundant and diverse microflora in infants have been in the news lately. The news that a healthier community of gut bacteria can help babies calm down from colicky episodes has had our phones at Lifeway ringing off the hook! “How soon can I start giving my baby your probiotic kefir?” deranged and […]
