The raw milkshake is a recipe and one of the most important items on the Primal Diet. It reinforces the body, in particular the mucous linings, which are essential to protect bodily tissues from toxin damage.

Mucus protects the mucous membranes in the intestines, kidneys, etc. Contrary to certain beliefs, mucus is not toxic — it is part of the body. When mucus is expelled during detoxification, it acts as a vessel containing toxins, but is not a toxin itself.

Toxins can deplete the mucus lining, exposing tissues and organs to damage — manifesting as heartburn, being constantly drained, and other symptoms.

Eating raw meat, raw fat, etc., should in theory give everything the body needs, but for most people, because of toxicity and long-term deficiencies, it often takes the specific combination of foods in raw milkshakes to generate appropriate amounts of mucus.

Recipe: a whole raw egg, raw milk, and extra raw cream (extra fat is necessary), with a bit of unheated honey to facilitate digestion. Blend together.
