Any way you slice it, you can’t go wrong with pizza. Our Farmer Cheese Margherita Pizza replaces the traditional mozzarella with Lifeway Farmer Cheese, giving this iconic Italian dish a deliciously tangy update. Our small batch, #probiotic cheese flawlessly complements the time-tested flavor combination of tomato sauce, basil leaves, and baked dough. Ditch the delivery and preheat the oven because, after one slice, this will be your new standard for pizza.
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, and even help support healthier blood sugar levels and improve levels of satiety due to how it triggers the release of GLP-1 since it is an excellent source of protein and high in bioavailable nutrition.
Lifeway Kefir contains a variety of nutrients that are vital for healthy bones and overall health: vitamin D3, K, calcium, and vitamin B12. Lifeway also offers our artisan-made Farmer Cheese, a creamy cultured cheese made with live and active cultures to support a healthy microbiome that is also an excellent source of complete protein.
