Intro to Ghee Butter
Ghee butter is really lovely, so I wanted to put together a little post with an intro to Ghee Butter.
Intro to Ghee Butter
At our local health food store, the Ghee Butter is kept on a shelf. In the Gutsy household, we keep ours in the fridge.
What is Ghee Butter?
Ghee is a clarified butter, which is simply butter that has been melted over low heat for an extended period of time, eliminates more of the moisture and causes the milk solids to caramelize. Once caramelized (and cooled) the top layer is eventually skimmed off. This layer (yes, the pure fat) is the Ghee.
Why is Organic Ghee Butter in my fridge?
- The process of cooking off the milk solids burns off most of the lactose found in normal butter. Since I only do Raw Dairy now, this is my alternative option to dairy and butter if/when we are out of raw butter.
- I love the taste, which is slightly nutty and a little different from regular butter.
- Long life. Ghee can last for several weeks in your pantry or six+ months in the fridge (which is where I keep mine).
What brand of Organic Ghee Butter and where to find?
I get my Organic Ghee Butter from two main sources: Amazon + Whole Foods. Here are the brands I like:
Recipes
I was first introduced to Ghee Butter a few years back with an Indian recipe. This is how Ghee is “typically” used. It is not only for Indian recipes, though, as it adapts well to most cooking and baking recipes.
- lemon curd
- Wild Salmon on a Bed of Spaghetti Squash Smothered in Lemon-Garlic Caper Sauce
- Roasted, Flavored Nuts

Greek Yogurt Alternative
Do you love how thick and creamy Greek Yogurt is, but don’t want/can’t do dairy? Never fear…..your Greek Yogurt alternative is here!
I’m well into my actual gut healing phase, but there are still 65 days left.
This, of course, means that I am not even halfway there, and the truth is that I’m fairly confident I will need much more than 101 days.
By July 30th, I was down 7 pounds of pure bloat. I’ve maintained this. The progress is huge for me.
I still have my tough days, but I’m about 90% confident that those days are not about food, but about other things. Time will tell, and I will tell you.
Last week I added in more vegetables, but not traditional ones (i.e. salads, roughage, etc).
I de-skinned, de-seeded and cut into small pieces zucchini and squash. I then slow cooked them with beef. Here’s how. Not only did it taste awesome, but my gut accepted it.
This week, I’m attempting to do the same, but with butternut squash. It may work, it may not, but the goal is to add things….slowly but surely.
I can’t tell you how month 2 is going to play out. I can’t tell you exactly what I’ll do because the truth is that once I add something in, I rarely add in another thing for 48+ hours (to watch for reactions).
What I can tell you are two things:
- I’m staying on a 100 billion probiotic
- dessert is imminent
I’ve been a dessert girl my whole life. This past weekend I was craving Greek yogurt. Clearly, there is no dairy anywhere in the near future especially the nasty Greek yogurt on the market (unless of course, I am able to get/introduce raw dairy).
I became nostalgic, remembering the days when I would take Greek yogurt, add in a dabble of honey and top it with blueberries.
Surely there was a way to replicate.
And there was….the base of it just looked a little different, full-fat coconut milk.
I had a can that had been in the fridge, so I knew it would make a thick base.
I whipped it with pure, raw honey, and then simply layered it with super-ripe banana and blueberries (I didn’t know if I would react to whole blueberries, so I didn’t use very many of them).

Here is how you can make this in less than 5 minutes.
Seriously, those cute, little jars really enhance the experience.
And what I am learning these days?
It’s all about the experience; happiness, emotions, faith, hope, and love.
Pause for the little things. If we don’t, the big things hit us like bricks – full force.
But when we do stop for those experiences? Yes…..true healing magically begins to evolve.
