Chocolate Cheesecake Protein Shake – Deliciously Organic


This Chocolate Cheesecake Protein Shake is a fantastic way to get the day started!

This shake is a combination of raw milk, collagen powder, cottage cheese, cocoa powder, maple syrup, egg yolks and vanilla. It’s creamy, chocolatly and the cottage cheese and vanilla gives it a rich cheesecake flavor!

Let’s talk about protein for a minute. It’s a “beauty queen” nutrient at the moment and from my perspective, we’re placing a bit too much emphasis on it. Protein is very important, but we all don’t need super high amounts of this nutrient each day.

The amount each person needs varies with age, gender, weight and level of physical activity.

For men, protein requirements vary from about 50-100 grams per day. And, for women it ranges from about 50-75 grams per day. Of course, this number will change if one is an athlete or doing a lot of vigorous physical exercise. For example, a man that weighs 180 pounds, may need as much as 160 grams of protein in one day.

Here are some of my favorite protein-rich foods:
Raw milk
Eggs
Cheese
Cottage cheese
Red meat, liver, poultry or fish

Protein and Vitamin A Deficiency: 

If you do consume protein powders or high amounts of protein, it’s really important to understand that this can, overtime, deplete vitamin A stores.

Vitamin A (aka retinol) is important to so many processes in the body including, hormone production (like testosterone and thyroid hormone), immune system function, healthy vision and hearing, bone health, it’s needed so vitamins D and K2 can work in the body and much more.

So, making sure to consume plenty of good animal foods and animal fats is very important when eating a lot of protein or using protein powders.

So, if you’re looking for a shake that combines both healthy protein along with vitamin A, this is the perfect solution! The combination of raw milk, collagen powder and cottage cheese makes for a total of 38 grams of protein. Enjoy!

Does CBD Affect Athletic Performance

Athletes are using CBD for better performance and recovery. But is it true? Regularly taking CBD might help athletes perform better by reducing inflammation and pain, leading to faster recovery times. However, there’s no conclusive evidence that CBD directly makes you perform better. Your general health improvement may positively affect your performance, however. More research is needed to fully understand its potential benefits for athletes. What’s the Deal with CBD? CBD is a compound found in the cannabis plant. Unlike THC, CBD does not have psychoactive effects, meaning it won’t make you high. CBD works with the endocannabinoid system (ECS), which helps keep your body balanced. This can help manage pain, mood, and sleep, all important for athletes. What are the Benefits of Using CBD for Athletes?   There’s potential for CBD use to benefit athletes, although research is still ongoing. Here are some of the proposed benefits: Reducing Inflammation   One of the primary
