Cool off on a hot day, and indulge in a gut-healthy treat with our Probiotic Dessert Cones! They have a creamy flavor and unbeatable benefits since they’re made with Lifeway Farmer Cheese, our artisan-made, high-protein cheese that’s a must-have for healthy desserts that are also gut-friendly. Creamy and smooth, it transforms into a silky texture that’s purely delightful since it’s free of added salt and sugar allowing the other ingredients to shine.
Our soft, cultured cheese is rich in live and active probiotics, and it’s an excellent source of protein making Lifeway Farmer Cheese the perfect choice when you want to indulge a little without sacrificing your health. We whipped our farmer cheese together with vanilla protein powder, raw honey, and vanilla before freezing, then scooping and serving it on dessert cones.

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.
