Just spent some time clarifying two pounds of butter to use in my protein shakes and found the process to hold an unexpected meditative aspect.
I really enjoyed the time and going slowly seperating the liquid gold from the whey, water and milk solids in butter. All ready used a couple tables spoons of this first batch in a shake and it added a frothy richness to it.
I have a feeling that this addition to my diet will add quite a bit of healthy energy to my work capacity.
Working on a new experimental diet revolving around the three main aspects of an "Indian Wrestler's" diet, Milk, Ghi (clarified butter), and Almonds. As I've stated before, I think there is a lot to learn from those who excel in any given area. The "Indian Wresters" of old, were world renowned for strength, endurance, and ability.
So I'm basing my protein shakes around milk, clarified butter, and almond butter. To this I add a scoop of designer whey, 1 raw egg and a tablespoon of Flax seeds. and depending on the time of day and whether or not the shake is being eaten pre or post workout, I'll add a handfull of mixed berries, wheat bran, a teaspoon of honey, pinch of cinamon etc.
I have a feeling that this may not go over well with either those listing the dangers of dairy or those suggesting the whole food aproach, but luckily for you your not eating it :wink: . I respect and agree with your ideas, I only list this to show that I like to deliberately re-evaluate what works for me.
I invite you all to view my diet log to see how this works for me, and give you ideas for exploring your own dietary needs and goals.
Also, as always, I welcome critique, suggestion, and question from the tribe. Why else would I bring this up.
