10 HEALTHY & HAPPY GUT HABITS AND HACKS
Do you want to learn more ways to live a healthier lifestyle? In this blog, we’re going to share with you our TOP 10 Healthy & Happy Gut Habits and Hacks!
1.RAW MILK DIET FOR 7 DAYS
For the next 7 days, consume 32oz (1 quart) of RAW FARM Raw Whole Milk for breakfast. This is an amazing way to restore your gut microbiome after your digestion has been negatively effected by overeating or eating an abundance of unhealthy foods during the holidays or on vacation. The key is to drink the 32oz of raw whole milk as your only morning meal so the beneficial bacteria flourishes in your gut and cleanses your colon, which helps to get your bowels moving and relieve constipation.
2.KEEPING STAPLES
It’s very important to keep RAW FARM raw dairy staples on hand. There’s a saying we love to preach: 3 glasses of raw milk a day keeps the doctor away. Of course, there are additional ways to receive proper nutrition from other raw milk products such as raw cheese, raw kefir, and raw butter. These raw dairy products last awhile in your refrigerator (2-3 months to be exact), so it’s very convenient to have them on hand at all times.
3.Raw Keto Coffee
Whether you’re a coffee or tea lover, adding RAW FARM raw butter (or raw heavy cream) into your morning beverage is an amazing way to obtain your healthy raw fats and probiotics. For reference, RAW FARM raw cream is 46% butterfat, and our raw butter is 87% butterfat. Both options make your coffee smooth, creamy, and delicious. Sometimes customers ask us if adding raw dairy products into hot coffee or tea will destroy the nutritional value. Thankfully, this isn’t the case.

4.Easy cream sauce
As a mother of 3 who also works full-time, one of the most valuable skills I’ve learned is how to cook quickly. One of my favorite go-to dishes is cheesy pasta drizzled with fresh raw heavy cream, salt & pepper, and garlic. You can also do the same with grilled chicken, pork, and steak. Drizzling fresh raw heavy cream on top of already-cooked food is a great way to enjoy the nutritional, gut healthy and happy benefits of raw dairy and enjoy a delicious meal that looks like a lot more time and effort went into it than reality.😆
5.Raw dairy in the morning
The foundation of a healthy mind is a healthy gut, and raw dairy products in the morning are the best way to fill your gut with the beneficial bacteria it needs to thrive. Personally, I always have 2-3 quarts of raw whole milk on hand. If the milk ever goes sour, I simply add chocolate syrup to it and make chocolate milk, or I make raw milk ice cubes which I throw into smoothie bowls (you can’t even taste the sourness. Raw milk is safe to consume sour. Raw dairy products never go bad, they simply evolve). Other practical ways to get your raw diary in the morning include raw kefir smoothie bowls with oats, frozen berries, spinach, and collagen; adding raw cream, raw milk, or raw butter into your coffee; and my personal favorite, raw butter toast. Just like avocado toast, raw butter toast is made by slathering a thick layer of RAW FARM raw butter onto a fresh slice of sourdough toast. What a delicious way to get your healthy fats in early on in the day!
6.Raw probiotic facial
Skincare doesn’t have to be complicated or overly expensive. You can treat your skin naturally with raw dairy products, both through consumption (drinking your daily 3 cups of raw milk) and application (directly to your skin). I recommend dabbing a cotton ball in plain or golden raw kefir, then applying it onto affected areas of your skin. Also see our top (3) foods to glow naturally here.
7.Freeze berries
Want to take your raw kefir smoothie bowls to the next level? Use frozen berries. Frozen berries will make your smoothie bowls thicker, creamier, and even more enjoyable. Freezing also preserves the freshness of the berries and enables you to have a wide variety option at all times when you’re in a rush to get out of the door on a busy morning.
8.raw cheese snack
When we’re at work, choosing the wrong foods to snack on, like a candy bar, can be quite tempting. Rather than snack on sugary, processed foods, go for a few squares of RAW FARM raw cheddar cheese! This savory, protein-rich snack will satisfy your taste buds and your gut. As mentioned previously, how we treat ourselves is essential to our overall well-being. If we wish to become the best version of ourselves, we must be in a healthy state physically, emotionally, mentally, and spiritually first so we can best serve those around us, including our spouse, children, friends, family, and coworkers. This all begins with the food we choose to put into our bodies on a daily basis, and it’s important to choose wisely.
9.Raw work out drink
Rather than consume energy drinks with the unhealthy processed proteins in powder form, I recommend consuming whole raw dairy products, like raw whole milk and whole raw kefir, as your pre and/or post workout drink.
10.Top it with raw cheese
The final (and easiest) way to add in more raw dairy products to your diet for a healthy and happy gut is to sprinkle RAW FARM Shredded Raw Cheddar Cheese onto your salads, tacos, nachos, pasta…the list goes on! One of my favorite lunches to make is pasta salad with fresh tomatoes and an abundance of fresh raw cheddar cheese sprinkled on top.
Summary
RAW FARM raw dairy products are an amazing way to feed your gut whole, raw, probiotic rich foods that have an abundance of beneficial bacteria to facilitate digestion, replenish cells, and nourish your body, mind, and soul.
Be happy.
Be healthy.
