Chocolate Acai Bowl

Give breakfast a decadent twist with our Chocolate Açaí Bowl. It has the classic, mouth-watering combination of berries and chocolate. To make your own, blend banana, mixed berries, cacao powder, almond butter, and açaí with kefir. We used Lifeway Organic Whole Milk Kefir, one of our best whole milk kefirs. Açaí is a nutrient-dense berry originating in the Amazon rainforest. These berries support healthy brain function and are high in healthy fats and antioxidants. The tartness of the berries complements the sweetness of the cacao powder perfectly. Top your bowl with a beautiful display of fresh fruit, chia seeds, and coconut flakes.

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.
