Spiced Waffle Bites

Try something new with our delicious Spiced Waffle Bites! Accented with cinnamon, clove, and our Farmer cheese before being spread on top of the waffles, this recipe is a dream come true for a cozy breakfast. We use a few juicy orange slices, and raspberries, then drizzle maple syrup on top. Oranges have vitamin C for a strong immune system, cinnamon and clove have antioxidants to round up free radicals in the body, and ginger has anti-inflammatory properties. The flavor is out of this world – the citrus fruit complements the bold spices and there’s a touch of tart and tanginess from the farmer cheese. What’s Farmer Cheese, you ask? Excellent question! It’s similar to ricotta in texture and has 10 live and active probiotic cultures, which may support a balanced gut microbiome. It’s an amazing kitchen staple to have on hand whenever you’re experimenting with recipes.

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. Lifeway Farmer Cheese is also a great source of all these nutrients, just in a different format for all the cheese lovers out there.
