It is high time to shift from old traditions that sweets aren’t supposed to be healthy. Aside from using natural sweeteners, one way to make buttercream frosting healthier is your choice of butter. According to studies, butter from grass-fed cows gives more benefits to our bodies than butter from grain-based feed cows. What cows eat affects their milk and butter. Grass-fed butter contains a higher amount of healthy unsaturated fats like omega-3 and CLA. It is also rich in vitamin A, vitamin K2, and the antioxidant beta carotene, all of which are essential to our health.
