Budwig Cottage Cheese Recipe

  1. Take 3 Tbs of extra virgin olive oil.  (The Budwig Diet calls for cold-pressed flax seed oil, but it appears that most flax seed oil sold in stores is rancid before it leaves the shelves.  Freshly made flax seed oil would be acceptable, but it can be hard to find.  The extra virgin olive oil is an excellent replacement.)
  2. Blend with 6 Tbs of cottage cheese.  Stirring them together will not work.  They need to be blended so that the molecules join together.  An immersion blender is the best way to do that because one serving is too small to put in a blender or food processor.  One of those hand held, single-blade immersion blenders is best, but a juice blender will do too.  Blend the first two ingredients for about a minute.  It will look like pudding.
  3. Grind 2 Tbs of fresh flax seeds (a coffee grinder works well and will probably cost you about $30).  It’s important to grind them fresh because the lignans will lose their effectiveness after about 30 minutes.  For this reason, the ground flax seed from the store does not work the same.  Once ground, just stir it into the cottage cheese mixture with a spoon.
  4. Optional:  Add broken up walnuts or Brazil nuts.  Make sure they are raw and not roasted.
