This delicious, probiotic avocado toast only takes a little time and a few ingredients to put this tasty dish together, and once you do, it’ll become your new lunchtime standard. The buttery taste of avocado, the earthy flavor of grilled asparagus, and the subtle sweetness of tomato are harmoniously joined by the tart and tangy goodness of Lifeway Farmer Cheese. Not only does our soft, mild cheese bring this recipe together, but it also gives it a pop of gut-loving probiotics.
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 better 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 triggers the release of GLP-1.
Lifeway Kefir also contains a variety of nutrients that are vital for healthy bones and overall health: vitamin D3, K, calcium, and vitamin B12. Along with our kefir, we also offer our artisan-made Farmer Cheese, a creamy high-protein cheese made with live and active cultures to support a healthy microbiome that’s easy to spread and contains no added salt for optimal heart-health benefits.
