After getting home from a split training session at the Dojang, I had a total hankering for icy milk! Naturally, I decided to make a Carnivore Milkshake full of protein without any added processed sugar, artificial sweeteners, fillers, or preservatives. It was super easy to make with ingredients I already had stocked in the house and was also a great way to use up ice in the freezer. I am a huge fan of protein powder! Ever since my Dad took me to the supplement store to buy it for me when I was in 7th grade and started playing sports – I have been hooked! (basketball and track). A nice refreshing shake after a hard training session or manual labor on the farm does absolute wonders and makes me feel like a million bucks!

Milk and dairy products naturally are FULL of electrolytes and a great way for humans to replace these minerals after exercise. Cow’s milk is full of calcium, potassium, salt, and magnesium. 1 cup of whole milk contains 300mg of calcium, 366mg of potassium, 93mg of salt, and 27mg of magnesium. These electrolytes are vital for regulating the neurological system, keeping the body’s pH levels in check, and preserving hydration. Because cow’s milk contains both electrolytes and macronutrients, it can be a convenient post-workout electrolyte drink for those who exercise vigorously. It’s crucial to remember that not everyone can consume cow’s milk, such as those who are lactose intolerant. But if you can, I definitely recommend having a high intake of dairy on the carnivore diet if you train a lot or do a lot of manual labor!

What You Will Need to Make a Carnivore Milkshake:

Raw Milk
Cottage Cheese
Gelatin
Homemade Whey Protein
Ice
Infused CBD Salt (optional)

Equipment:

Vitamix
Mason Jar

Substitutions:

Any sea salt if you do not want to use CBD infused sea salt. Or you can totally omit the salt from the recipe all together! Adding extra salt just helps with electrolyte balance in the body after a workout or manual labor (milk and dairy is also full of electrolytes).

Notes

Cannabis is technically not Carnivore; however, I see plants as medicine as long as they are extracted correctly and used only when needed.

FAQs

Can I make these without weed?
Of course! These recipes taste amazing both infused and not!

Why Cannabis?
When our body is homeostasis, it has no need for cannabis as it is happy. But if negative environmental, lifestyle, genetics, stress, diet and nutrition, alcohol consumption, or health factors are present, the system can become unbalanced, and we now have an endocannabinoid deficiency. This results in things like migraines, fibromyalgia, mood disorders, behavior problems, anxiety, depression, bowl issues, and metabolic issues like not being able to lose weight.

Using cannabis as medicine can restore this balance in the body when combined with a proper carnivore diet. With the goal being, to eventually transition off the cannabis. Think of cannabis as a little dirty carnivore helper, that is going to be the last plant you see before you are 100% successful and in homeostasis. And also think of it as a tool to put in your back pocket in case the unfortunate event of environmental disease or infection (cold or infection) in the future causes your body to fall out of homeostasis again. Life happens. Just remember, cannabis is medicine so use it wisely.

What is the best protein powder to use if I cannot make any?
I would recommend making your own, but I totally understand how life can get in the way. Any keto or low carb protein powder would be best. Optimum Nutrition I believe is the best deal and quality unless you make it yourself at home.
