Cinnamon is a spice that’s not only delicious, it’s also packed with nutritional benefits. Cinnamon has been shown to support healthy blood sugar levels, reduce sweet food cravings, and is used in many cultures since it supports digestion. Paired with Lifeway Kefir, cinnamon is a delightful spice to use in your smoothie recipes to add a punch of something extra special. These two combined with banana and oats tastes like a baked treat in skippable form. Oats and banana are also excellent sources of prebiotic fiber, plus soothing nutrients like magnesium and several B vitamins. That’s what we call a pretty sweet way to start the day!

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.
