She gets a lot of her info from Nourishing Traditions by Sally Fallon. It is one of the best nutrition/recipe books available and one that I recommend to all of my clients that ask for a good nutrition book. It goes back to the way we used to do things (and the way we SHOULD do things). That link I posted is a great site for recipes (www.thenourishinggourmet.com).

The goji berries were soaked overnight in lemon juice. The pumpkin seeds were soaked for 8 hours, salted, and slow roasted for 8 hours at 150 degrees (A LOT easier than it sounds). The berries and seeds were then mashed together with avocado. The sprouted corn tortillas can be purchased at Whole Foods. Not the highest in protein (although pumpkin seeds have the highest amount of protein among nuts/seeds), but very high in nutrients and healthy fats. As a side note - nuts/seeds should never be purchased preroasted. Buy raw and soak them yourself (http://www.thenourishinggourmet.com/2008/07/soaking-nuts.html). Tom - I love your selection of whole milk. If you take a look at the label, you'll notice that it is very Zone-like - having an ideal ratio of proteins, fats, and carbs. Mother nature knows what she's doing!! For all dairy (milk, cheese, yogurt, cottage cheese, etc.) it's imperative that you at least do organic. Of course, raw is best (www.organicpastures.com).

It is what every protein shake wishes it could be and it tastes a lot better, too. Whole milk should not be ruled out as part of a post workout meal.
