We modified your traditional pancake breakfast and made it better with just a handful of easy, healthy, wholesome ingredients you already have at home, such as oats, bananas, and Lifeway Kefir. Our kefir works as the best substitute for buttermilk in pancakes since it’s higher in protein and comes with more health supporting benefits.

Topped with a drizzle of maple syrup, fresh bananas, and juicy blueberries, these easy protein banana pancakes deserve a spot in your breakfast rotation!

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 unique trio: vitamin D, K, and calcium – all three crucial elements to support bone health. Lifeway Farmer Cheese is also a great source of all these nutrients, just in a different format for all the cheese lovers out there.
