Budwix Cream

Budwig cream is a blended breakfast based on the Budwig diet protocol, which combines cold-pressed oil with cottage cheese to improve the bioavailability of essential fatty acids. This version adds banana, honey, and lemon juice for natural sweetness and tang.

The budwix grain-and-nut mixture gets ground first until gritty, then everything else goes into the blender and gets processed smooth. The cottage cheese emulsifies with the oil, creating a thick, creamy texture that’s closer to a mousse than a smoothie.

Lemon juice does more than add brightness here. It helps the cottage cheese break down into a smoother consistency and balances the richness of the oil and honey.

Kitchen Tips

• Use cold-pressed, unrefined oil. The Budwig method specifically calls for unprocessed oils to preserve the fatty acid content.
• Blend the grain-and-nut base first before adding the wet ingredients. This ensures even grinding without the liquids getting in the way.
• Serve immediately after blending. The texture changes as it sits, and the nutritional benefit of freshly blended oil and cottage cheese is highest right away.
• Adjust honey to taste depending on how ripe the banana is.

Variations

• Swap banana for fresh berries, mango, or sliced peaches depending on the season.
• Use flaxseed oil specifically if following the traditional Budwig protocol.
• Add a tablespoon of ground flaxseed for extra fiber and omega-3s.
