Farmer Cheese Egg Muffins

These Farmer Cheese Egg Muffins are egg-cellent for a quick breakfast or post-workout meal. Chop up some green pepper, broccoli, onion, tomato, and parsley, all of which are great sources of vitamin C and antioxidants. Then in a medium-sized bowl, whisk the eggs and stir in the chopped raw vegetables, shredded cheddar cheese, and Lifeway Farmer Cheese. If you’ve never cooked with our farmer cheese before, it has a texture similar to ricotta and 15 grams of protein per serving(!) for muscle support and recovery, along with healthier blood sugar levels. Pour the mixture for these egg muffins into a muffin tin, and bake for about 20 minutes or until the eggs are fully cooked through. These are also great for healthy, high protein meal prep recipes!

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