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 optimal digestion and 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 contains triggers the release of GLP-1.
Lifeway Kefir is packed with variety of vital nutrients important for overall health, including bone and muscle health; these include vitamin D3, K, calcium, and vitamin B12. Along with our probiotic-rich kefir, Lifeway also offers artisan-made Farmer Cheese, a creamy high-protein cheese made with live and active cultures to support healthy muscles and healthy microbiome. Lifeway Farmer Cheese is easy to spread, free of gums and thickeners, and contains no added salt or sugar for optimal health benefits.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup Lifeway Organic Organic Whole Milk Plain Kefir
- 1 cup loosely packed cilantro leaves (stems removed)
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 Tbsp olive oil
- 1 Tbsp fresh lime juice
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
Directions
- Add all ingredients into the pitcher of a high-powered blender or food processor. Blend on high until smooth, or until desired consistency is reached. Chill at least 10 minutes before serving.
- This dressing tends to be on the thin side. If serving as a dip, we recommend straining a 32 oz bottle of kefir first, then using 1/2 cup of the cream.
