As you may can imagine… given the title of this blog… We like grassfed butter and we cannot lie, haha.
But what the heck is it and WHY is it good for you???
What is Grassfed Butter?
Grassfed Butter is just butter made from cows who eat grass…
Cow are supposed to be eating grass, Right? Sadly this shouldn’t be so usual… but we see that many conventional dairy products come from cows who are given feed other than their preferred diet of grass. You can read more about that in the Omnivore’s Dilemma
Because these cows are fed grass, the butter that is made from the cream of cows getting a diet rich in beta-carotene – resulting in higher nutrition for you!
Although you may have been told that butter is bad for your health… That couldn’t be further from the truth.
Let’s look at Grassfed Butter’s nutrition facts:
Grass-fed butter nutrition is even more impressive than regular butter nutrition.
I was never a huge meat eater… and it wasn’t really on purpose. I just tended to eat more carbs (even healthy ones) but I realized how important protein really was for my health and weight loss goals.
When I was pregnant, my midwife told me that I needed even more protein in my diet to help my baby grow. That’s when I started looking for ways to add protein into my diet without eating more meat.
What my video to learn how I added more protein into my diet without eating more meat:
Non Meat Protein Sources:
Greek Yogurt
Cottage Cheese
Quinoa
Beans
Lentils
Peanut Butter
Nuts
Chia Seeds
Hemp Seeds
Ezekiel Bread
Eggs
Hummus
When I was pregnant, I dealt with so many food aversions and almost ALL Meat was off the list… that’s when I really learned about using protein powders and how they can supplement your protein intake.
Now, my whole family loves drinking smoothies and making snacks using protein powder to keep us full longer and avoid the sugar crashes.
What is your favorite way to add protein into your diet?
