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, support the digestive system, reduce inflammation, support healthier blood sugar levels, and improve satiety since the bioavailable protein it contains triggers the release of GLP-1. Lifeway Kefir also contains a variety of nutrients that are vital for healthy bones and overall health, including vitamins D3, K, and B12 along with calcium and potassium. Along with our kefir, we also offer our creamy, cultured Lifeway Farmer Cheese, a high protein cheese made with live and active cultures to support a healthy microbiome that’s easy to spread and contains no added salt or sugar.
Prep Time: Varies - See Directions Servings: 2Ingredients
Frozen Kefir:
- 1 honeydew melon
- 1 cup Lowfat Raspberry Kefir
- *or you can use any other flavor of Lifeway Kefir you prefer
- 1 tbsp. freeze-dried raspberries, crushed
- 1 tbsp. lemon juice
Optional Garnishes:
- a few melon balls skewers on a toothpick
- fresh raspberries
Directions
- Slice honeydew melon in half and remove seeds with a spoon, making a well in the center. Cover the cut sides of both halves tightly with plastic wrap and freeze overnight.
- Once frozen completely solid, remove one of the cut melons and save the other to enjoy again another time. Remove plastic wrap and add Lifeway Kefir, freeze-dried raspberries, and lemon juice into the well created in the fruit.
- Use a sharp metal spoon to scrape at the fruit inside of the well, mixing it with the other ingredients as you go along. Continue this process until most of the fruit has been incorporated and a thick frozen kefir forms.
- Serve with a skewered melon ball garnish and fresh raspberries, if desired. Enjoy!
- You can swap out the melon for cantaloupe or watermelon if you prefer and use any variety of Lifeway Kefir to create multiple flavor combinations.
