Probiotic Kolache

Our Probiotic Kolache starts with a soft, fluffy pastry roll thats filled with juicy apricots, blueberries, and then adds a probiotic frosting made with Lifeway Kefir.  This irresistible dessert was brought to America by Czech immigrants in the mid-1800s, and our recipe honors this tradition while adding the gut-friendly benefits of Lifeway Kefir. Lifeway Kefir’s nourishing probiotics provide good bacteria to support your tummy while you indulge, plus the protein and vitamins found in our kefir offer additional benefits that make each bite that much sweeter.

Cultured Dairy: The Nutrition Benefits You Need to Know

With increasing research linking the correlation between probiotics, gut health, and immunity, it’s no secret that the integrity of our gut is vital to our health. Although additional factors such as stress, antibiotic usage, and individual health conditions can contribute to the condition of our gut, a focus on healthy food choices is one of the easiest ways to support the microbiome.

Several studies have shown a strong association between the gut-brain-microbiota. Probiotics introduced to the gut have been found to support immunity, improve allergies, and improve digestion.

Studies have shown that reduced diversity of healthy gut bacteria during early years is associated with an increase in food allergies during school-age years. In addition, kefir made from whole milk helps absorb key nutrients such as Vitamins A, D, E, and K. Vitamin K is important because it helps your bones absorb calcium. It’s important to know that kefir contains a special trio: vitamin D, K, and calcium – all three crucial elements to support bone health.
