BTLA with Farmer Cheese

To BLTA or not to BLTA? That is the question. And when Lifeway Farmer Cheese is in the mix, the answer is always “two!” Lifeway Farmer Cheese infuses this Bacon, Lettuce, Tomato, and Avocado sandwich with probiotic cultures while elevating its flavor profile. Our soft cheese adapts to and elevates whatever it’s mixed with. In this recipe, we blend it with a medley of spices to create a sharp, zesty spread to bring this lunchtime staple to the next level.

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.
