Turn an average piece of avocado toast into a protein-rich, probiotic masterpiece with Lifeway Farmer Cheese, along with hemp seeds, raw honey, and edible flowers for an extra touch of beauty. Avocados are one of the best sources of prebiotic fiber and monounsaturated fats, which both contribute to added satiety, along with better gut and skin health. We paired these rich, nutritious fruits with Lifeway Farmer Cheese, an excellent source of complete protein for optimal muscle support along with live and active cultures to support better gut health.
To top our toast, we used edible flowers for a simple, springtime touch and adorned everything with a drizzle of honey and raw hemp seeds for additional healthy fats, vitamins and minerals, fiber, and omega-3’s.

Cultured Dairy: The Nutrition Benefits You 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 have shown that 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. Vitamin K is important because it helps 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. Lifeway Farmer Cheese is also a great source of all these nutrients, just in a different format for all the cheese lovers out there.
