Simplify your morning routine and boost your gut health at the same time with our Honey Vanilla Kefir Breakfast Bowl. This healthy breakfast recipe comes together fast and is filled with flavor, fiber, and gut-friendly probiotics from Lifeway Kefir.

Our probiotic whole milk kefir is packed with natural protein and makes for an excellent way to start your day. The live and active probiotic cultures in our kefir nourish your gut and help your microbiome to thrive, while the calcium, vitamin D, B vitamins, and natural protein work to support your muscles, energy, blood sugar, satiety, and metabolism.

Here, we used our plain kefir to allow the other flavors in this recipe to shine. Bright, sweet berries, a light drizzle of honey, and exotic notes of real vanilla turn this quick recipe into something that feels extra special. Who knew healthy eating could be so delicious?

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 optimal digestion and 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 contains triggers the release of GLP-1.
Lifeway Kefir is packed with a variety of vital nutrients important for overall health, including bone and muscle health; these include vitamin D3, K, calcium, and vitamin B12. Along with our probiotic-rich kefir, Lifeway also offers artisan-made Farmer Cheese, a creamy, high-protein cheese made with live and active cultures to support healthy muscles and a healthy microbiome. Lifeway Farmer Cheese is easy to spread, free of gums and thickeners, and contains no added salt or sugar for optimal health benefits.
