Farmer Cheese Peanut Butter Jelly Bark

Get ready for a jam-packed snack experience with our Farmer Cheese Peanut Butter Jelly Bark made with creamy Lifeway Farmer Cheese. We combined our luscious cheese with the sweetness of raw honey to create a smooth, rich base for a layer of nutty peanut butter and tangy raspberry jam. The best part? Lifeway Farmer Cheese is packed with bioavailable nutrients and high-quality protein which gives this nostalgic snack a nourishing upgrade. This bark is also easy to digest thanks to the live and active cultures we use to make our farmer cheese along with the fiber from the peanuts and berries in the jam.

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.
