Whipped Raspberry Nutella

With everyone raving over the whipped coffee trend, we decided to update the recipe with a decadent twist. All you need are four simple ingredients; coconut sugar, heavy whipping cream, Nutella, and Lifeway Low-Fat Raspberry Kefir.

How to Make Whipped Raspberry Nutella:

Whip the cream, sugar, and Nutella for about 3-5 minutes. Once it looks like a puffy cloud, pour over our probiotic raspberry kefir. Sprinkle a few fresh raspberries on top for a pop of color. It’s a berry gut-healthy drink that we know you’ll love. Try making it yourself and tag us on Instagram!

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.

Prebiotics + Probiotics = A Healthier You

Prebiotics are non-living, non-digestible carbohydrates naturally found in a variety of fiber-rich plant foods. Your body actually can’t digest prebiotics, so they’re what probiotics feed off of to remain actively working in your digestive system. They help the digestive system by promoting the growth of good bacteria. Prebiotics and probiotics work together in balance to make sure our digestive system stays on track and regular. Research has found that consuming a variety of prebiotic and probiotic food sources may improve your body’s natural functions, including both your immune and digestive systems.
