Butter/ Protein Powder Shakes

[SarahG23]

Any butter substitutes for people who have fatty liver ? Is protein powder okay to drink & if so any recommendations ?

Hi Sarah

Where practical we use olive oil as a dip for bread for example. In small amounts we use a Land of Lakes mix of butter and canola oil which isn't bad. As a spread a lot of people use nut butters. Protein powder can be an effective source but don't go overboard with it. A mix of protein sources is best but supplementing in modest amounts is a reasonable strategy. The protein powders of gelatin and whey are incomplete and are missing important amino acids so getting your protein from your diet is the best strategy. Egg whites are a good alternative.

I was always told no substitutes , I use butter always, have no knowledge on protein powder.

You should be eating real whole butter. Just skip the bread, pasta and noodles that you put it on!
