Cultured Dairy: The Nutrition Benefits You Actually Need to Know
With increasing research linking the correlation between probiotics, gut health, and immunity, it’s no secret that the integrity of our gut is vital to our health. Although additional factors such as stress, antibiotic usage, and individual health conditions can contribute to the condition of our gut, a focus on healthy food choices is one of the easiest ways to support the microbiome.
Several studies have shown a strong association between the gut-brain-microbiota. Probiotics introduced to the gut have been found to support immunity, improve allergies, and improve digestion. Studies also show that a reduced diversity of healthy gut bacteria during early years is associated with an increase in food allergies during school-age years. In addition, kefir made from whole milk helps absorb key nutrients such as Vitamins A, D, E, and K. Vitamins D and K are important because they help your bones absorb calcium. It’s important to know that kefir contains a special trio: vitamin D, K, and calcium – all three crucial elements to support bone health.
Prep Time: 45 mins Servings: 8-10Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups gluten-free graham cracker crumbs

- 16oz cream cheese
- 14oz condensed milk
- 2 eggs
- 1tsp vanilla extract
- 5 cups strawberries, chopped

- 2 tbsp honey
Directions
- Blend the graham crackers in a food processor until finely crushed.

- 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.
