Chocolate Chip Cookie Frozen Kefir

After dinner, we’re gonna get chip-faced with our Chocolate Chip Cookie Frozen Kefir! Cool off with this chilly, chocolaty, decadent delight. Made with Lifeway Kefir, rolled oats, almond butter, and decadent dark chocolate chips, this treat is rich and creamy and oh so dreamy. It’s better than store-bought ice cream because when you make homemade frozen kefir with Lifeway, you’re boosting your dessert with a hefty dose of probiotics, protein, calcium, and vitamin D.

Lifeway Kefir makes the perfect base for ‘ice cream’ since it’s rich, creamy, and healthier than heavy cream due to the fermentation process that produces the probiotics in our kefir; it’s also high in bioavailable protein so your body is able to fully utilize all those nutrient-rich amino acids that make up proteins in the body. Plus, the protein in cultured milk, like Lifeway Kefir, also helps create a thicker, denser frozen dessert than many alternatives on the market. When paired with raw cacao, oats, chocolate chips, real vanilla, and a few other ingredients, you’ll get a healthy dessert you can scoop onto a cone or enjoy in a bowl.

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