Raspberry Chocolate Chunk Frozen Kefir

Most frozen yogurts don’t have enough probiotics for our preference, so we’re making our own version with an upgrade since ours is made with protein-packed Lifeway Vanilla Whole Milk Kefir. This creamy and luxurious Raspberry Chocolate Chunk Frozen Kefir is a great source of protein, vitamin D, calcium, healthy fats, B vitamins, and a magnificent vanilla flavor you won’t want to miss. This is the perfect easy, healthy summer treat that’s also great for your gut due to the 12 active live and active cultures our kefir contains.

Raspberry Chocolate Chunk Frozen Kefir

 

Fresh raspberries are the star of the show in this healthy dessert recipe, not just for their vibrant red color, but also their tangy-sweet flavor and high amount of fiber and antioxidants, like vitamin C. Decadent dark chocolate makes for an even more indulgent and richer frozen kefir experience allowing you to indulge in all your gut-healthy glory. Trust us, you’re definitely going to want to make a little extra room in your freezer for this one!

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.
