Add a photoSomeone turned me on to Dr. Johanna Budwig recently. I read a bit about her research and her diet online. While there isn't a lot of hard evidence behind it, she was definitely ahead of her time in recognizing the importance of good fats, and the harmful effects of bad fats, in our modern diets. She strongly encouraged the consumption of organic Flax or Linseed Oil combined with low fat cottage cheese. Somehow the protein and fat combination has a very positive combined effect. Her own clinical evaluation showed very positive effects on Cancer and Arthritis.
Anyway, I decided to try some cottage cheese and organic flax seed oil in my morning smoothie. I was somewhat shocked, but it actually tastes even better. The cottage cheese adds richness while the organic flaxseed oil adds smoothness. If you want to add these ingredients to your diet for health reasons, you definitely do not have to trade off taste. Just try the recipe below!
Ингредиенты
- 1 large apple (braeburn, fuji, gala, etc.), quartered...skin, seeds & all
- 1 orange, peeled and quartered
- 1 cups frozen Mango pieces
- 1 cup frozen mixed blueberries, blackberries & raspberries
- 1/2 scoop vanilla-flavored soy protein powder
- 2 Tbsp low fat cottage cheese
- 2 Tbsp organic flax seed oil (got mine at Trader Joe's)
- 1 cup vanilla-flavored soy milk
Инструкции
- Put the fresh fruit (I leave just a tad of peel on the orange for flavor) and rest of ingredients in the blender/vita mix
- Run on medium, pushing down with an instrument until the mixture is blending
- Turn to high and leave for 30-60 seconds
- Pour and drink!
- A few variations I might recommend. My wife Nancy prefers this without the protein powder. If you don't like Soy, feel free to substitute another protein powder and/or low fat or rice milk. I used to put in some yogurt, but found it added calories without adding much flavor or healthy micro-nutrients. I occasionally throw in a Banana, Peach, Kiwi, or Melon. Tangerines are also a nice, slightly more tart substitute for oranges. Feel free to mix and match...but the basic is still my favorite!

- 31 октября 2013The Budwig Protocol works wonders due to its specific blending that turns insoluble omega 3 into water soluble omega 3, that helps to generate more "good cells" so as to battle cancer. You should use 2 teaspoon of low fat cottage cheese to 1 teaspoon of cold pressed flaxseed oil, not 2:2 as prescribed here in this recipe. In order to benefit from the mixture, you should firstly blend the cottage cheese, then slowly blend in the flaxseed oil. Once that's done, THEN mixed in fruits or nuts for added flavour. According to your recipe you're blending all ingredients simultaneously, and that will not provide the Budwig health benefits I'm afraid.
05 октября 2010Sounds really yummy! 8-) My mother has been suffering with Arthritis for a number of years and started doing the Budwig Diet and has already seen some positive effects. I will get her to try this one for sure. She is currently using the free guide which can be downloaded from www.budwigcenter.com
23 августа 2010It Looks Real Good but Boy I bet that is Super Filling!. I'll try this sometime soon!
13 июля 2010Mmm, sounds delicious. I personally like to have a nice green smoothie in the mornings . . . I've never tried flax seed oil or cottage cheese though, sounds interesting.
25 июня 2010Could you remove the protein powder? Not a big fan of that due to tast. I think the sugers sound high but looks to be from the fruit for the most part so I think I should be okay if not the first thing I take in for the day... Sounds Wonderful and think I just may try it, with a few changes to fit me.2 replies- 23 июня 2010Though this looks wonderful, I was shocked at the calorie count, the carb and sugar count. I am trying to eat at 1000 calories a day-and under 80 carbs, so this smoothie would be my entire allottment. Bummer. However, thanks for the info abt the flax oil @ Trader Joe. I will incorporate that into my diet!2 replies
