Raw Milk is a Superfood! Milkshakes in 14 Flavors!

OK, I confess, I’ve been experimenting with raw milkshakes every day for several months, and guess what? My aches and pains are gone, I feel more energy, my skin spots have vanished, I sleep better. If you have not yet tasted the flavor of raw milk, you’re in for a treat! Smooth, creamy, sweet, life-sustaining, deeply nutritious, and satisfying. It’s delicious and subtly different from pasteurized milk. Studies show that raw milk is nutritionally far superior to pasteurized milk in protein, vitamins, and essential enzymes. Raw milk is actually a natural immune protection against disease – for details see my article Raw Milk – A True Superfood!

These milkshake recipes contain even more superfoods to add flavor and healthy nutrition, such as flax oil, bee pollen, and beet.  Hint: If you don’t have access to raw milk, no worries – you can make these with any kind of milk under the sun. (Just remember that pasteurized cow’s milk contains chemicals in the cow’s diet, and due to high-heat of pasteurization is mostly indigestible.) There are so many alternative milks that are inexpensive and easy to make. Check them out here My 7 Nut Milk Experiments: Which is Best? You can also use store-bought almond milk, coconut milk, etc. Anyway, here are my top favorite 14 milkshake recipes! I hope you enjoy them as much as I have!
