The Benefits of Cultured Dairy for Better Health:
Research continues to show the importance of eating healthy foods, including cultured dairy such as kefir, for optimal digestion and gut health, a strong immune system, and to support the microbiome. Fermented foods like kefir hold important value in this line of research due to the link between the gut-brain axis and overall health. Specifically, kefir has been shown to help diversify the microbiome, improve digestion, reduce inflammation, support healthier blood sugar levels, and improve satiety since the bioavailable protein it contains triggers the release of GLP-1.
Lifeway Kefir is packed with variety of vital nutrients important for overall health, including bone and muscle health; these include vitamin D3, K, calcium, and vitamin B12. Along with our probiotic-rich kefir, Lifeway also offers artisan-made Farmer Cheese, a creamy high-protein cheese made with live and active cultures to support healthy muscles and healthy microbiome. Lifeway Farmer Cheese is easy to spread, free of gums and thickeners, and contains no added salt or sugar for optimal health benefits.
Prep Time: 45 mins Servings: 8-10Ingredients

- 16oz cream cheese
- 14oz condensed milk
- 2 eggs
- 1tsp vanilla extract
- 5 cups strawberries, chopped
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 2 tbsp honey
Directions
- Blend the graham crackers in a food processor until finely crushed.
- Place blended graham crackers in a small bowl and mix in melted butter.
- Add the graham cracker mix to the bottom of a oiled springform pan and set aside.
- In a medium bowl with a standing or hand mixer, mix together the farmer cheese and cream cheese until creamy and smooth.
- Add in sweetened condensed milk, vanilla and eggs and blend for about 2 minutes.
- Transfer the cream mixture to the springform pan over the graham cracker crust.
- Place the springform pan in the Air Fryer at 300 degrees for 25-30 minutes, or until the center is no longer jiggling. It will wiggle a little but it shouldn't be wet.
- Refrigerate for 6-8 hours or overnight.
