Our Strawberry Banana Toast is the just the recipe to try this week for a classic flavor with cultured benefits thanks to Lifeway Farmer Cheese. We all know that blending strawberries and bananas with Lifeway Kefir makes an ideal smoothie, and this classic fruit combination also makes a fantastic lunch when it’s served on toast with Lifeway Farmer Cheese. It’s tasty, it’s hearty, and the prebiotic fibers in the strawberries and bananas feed the probiotics in the Lifeway Farmer Cheese, so you’ll be getting the most out of your good bacteria.
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, and even help support healthier blood sugar levels and improve levels of satiety due to how it triggers the release of GLP-1 since it is an excellent source of protein and high in bioavailable nutrition.Lifeway Kefir contains a variety of nutrients that are vital for healthy bones and overall health: vitamin D3, K, calcium, and vitamin B12. Lifeway also offers our artisan-made Farmer Cheese, a creamy cultured cheese made with live and active cultures to support a healthy microbiome that is also an excellent source of complete protein.
