Roasted Tomato Toast

You say tomato, I say #ToastTuesday. For this recipe, we marinated a fresh batch of tomatoes in a blend of olive oil and garlic and give it a splash of Worcestershire sauce to accentuate the flavor. We cook the ripe red fruit and serve it over a bed of our tasty Lifeway Farmer Cheese and toasted sourdough. The tanginess of the  #cheese brings out the bright sweet flavor of the tomato while boosting the meal with #probiotics and #protein. The toast gives this snack a satisfying snap. Cherry tomatoes are delicious on their own, but when they’re seasoned, skewered, grilled, and served with Lifeway Farmer Cheese makes them exquisite. 🍅

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 fat 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.
