Kefir Cheesecake Shots

Celebrate your patriotism with our probiotic, protein-packed Kefir Cheesecake Shots. They’re a fun, festive snack, plus they’re so easy to make. Start with a red raspberry puree on the bottom of the cup. Then layer on a white, fluffy mixture of whipped farmer cheese, vanilla, honey, and our probiotic vanilla kefir, then top with a handful of fresh blueberries and low sugar granola. A spoonful of each layer is a little sweet and a little tart. It’s the perfect flavor combination to celebrate our country and our freedom with a little gut-healthy twist!

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 contains 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.
