Mediterranean Toast

With just a few bites of this Mediterranean Toast, you can transport yourself to somewhere bright and sunny near the Mediterranean Sea. While the area is known for its breathtaking views and timeless culture, it’s the culinary flair that has a soft spot in our hearts. Olives (and olive oil), tomatoes, hummus, and fermented dairy products like kefir and cheese are cherished in Mediterranean countries for their health benefits and versatility in the kitchen. So we can’t think of a simpler, more delicious way to honor these culinary staples than with our Mediterranean Toast made with probiotic-rich Lifeway Kefir, the do-it-all kitchen ingredient that loves you back with every bite!

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.
