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.
Prep Time: 25 mins Servings: 4-6Ingredients
- 1/3 cup Lowfat Peach Kefir
- 1/4 cup Farmer Cheese
- 2 eggs
- 1 tsp. Unsalted Kefir Butter
- 2 tsp. of maple syrup
- 1 tsp. vanilla
- 2 tbsp. ground flax meal
- 1/3 cup almond flour
- 1/4 cup vanilla protein powder of choice
- 1 tsp. baking powder
- 1 tsp. cinnamon
- 1/2 cup chopped peaches
- Toppings: fresh peach slices, sliced almonds or shredded unsweetened coconut, drizzle of honey or maple
Directions
- Add Peach Lifeway Kefir, Lifeway Farmer Cheese, 2 eggs, Lifeway Kefir butter, maple syrup, and vanilla to a bowl and blend with a hand mixer until all whipped up. Fold in the 1/2 cup chopped fresh peaches.
- In a separate bowl, add the almond flour, vanilla protein powder, flax meal, baking powder, cinnamon, and then stir all together and remove any lumps with a fork until all sifted together.
- Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, and blend it all again with a hand mixer. It will thicken a bit as it sits, so let it sit for 2-3 minutes while you preheat your skillet.
- Spray a skillet with non-stick spray over medium-high heat, and add the pancake batter 1/3 cup at a time with a mixing scoop. Cook each side until golden brown, and then add to 2 plates, and add your toppings. Enjoy!
