My biggest obstacle is actually consuming the amount of calories needed a day....let alone nutrients lol. I'm about six pounds under the "ideal weight" for my height and the ideal is about ten or fifteen pounds lighter than my ideal. And my body won't store calories ( I'm sure it does, just doesn't feel like it) so if I don't build muscle, it literally goes to waste lol.
The problem was/is: I want to do this as natural as possible and don't like what synthetic molecules due to the body so protein powders are not an option. I was making my own flax shakes but I just go through TOO much milk.
I may have found a solution though. I found a really simple rice milk recipe:
1 part rice
4 parts water
Pinch salt (optional)
Flavoring (vanilla, chocolate, optional)
Blend on high and keep in fridge for up to three days
More or less water can be added depending on desired consistency
My local big chain grocery store has an awesome bulk foods section with tons of awesome rice varieties.
Don't know how many in this forum prefer milk alternatives but I thought this was cool =)
