Chai Brownie Dessert Hummus

Hummus is a delectable dip you already probably love and use in your snacks, or maybe even as a healthier option to traditional salad dressing and sandwich spreads. Made from chickpeas, tahini (sesame seed butter), salt, spices, and sometimes additional veggies or even olive oil, hummus is a Mediterranean recipe that stars almighty chickpeas (also known as garbanzo beans), which are an amazing source of plant-based protein, fiber, B vitamins, zinc, iron, and several other important minerals. Chickpeas are one of the most well-loved, heart-healthy beans and legumes for their filling protein and fiber content, but also their heart-healthy fiber. They are also delicious and have an incredible nutty flavor that many people have begun incorporating into desserts, so we took the liberty of making a recipe with them too!

Our smooth and sensational Chai Brownie Dessert Hummus is a dessert lover’s dream. Filled with probiotics thanks to Lifeway Oat, this dip is a craveable delight that you can dip graham crackers into or your favorite dipping options of choice. It’s also great with sweeter veggies like carrots, believe it or not! If you prefer, you can even use this as an alternative to traditional chocolate hazelnut butter since it has a smooth texture and similar chocolatey, nutty flavor. The chai spices add additional antioxidants that support various aspects of health and make this a step above other dessert hummus recipes out there.

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 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 fat 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. Our Farmer Cheese is also a great source of all these nutrients, just in a different format for all the cheese lovers out there.

Not Just Oat Milk: Cultured Oat Milk Benefits to Know

Studies have also 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, a combination of fiber and probiotics is even more beneficial for the gut, immune system, and for brain health due to the way this combination strengthens the microbiome, the powerhouse system of your entire health. This is where Lifeway Oat is so beneficial since it is an organic, cultured oat milk beyond just another standard oat milk. Lifeway Oat contains both fiber and probiotics to help support a healthier body and brain, which means an overall healthier you.

Prebiotics + Probiotics = A Healthier You

Prebiotics are non-living, non-digestible carbohydrates naturally found in a variety of fiber-rich plant foods. Your body actually can’t digest prebiotics, so they’re what probiotics feed off of to remain actively working in your digestive system. They help the digestive system by promoting the growth of good bacteria. Prebiotics and probiotics work together in balance to make sure our digestive system stays on track and regular. Research has found that consuming a variety of prebiotic and probiotic food sources may improve your body’s natural functions, including both your immune and digestive systems.
