Anyone following the new season of the hit social satire set in the resort of ‘The White Lotus’ will know that his character Saxon Ratliff is constantly drinking protein shakes. He even encourages his brother Lochy to do the same in order to follow his ‘fitness lifestyle’.
Patrick Schwarzenegger recently had a conversation with EatingWell about the shakes and the diet he follows to stay energised between scenes. The reality is that during the seven-month shoot, the actor only drank one smoothie: ‘We didn’t really drink a lot, but we drank the ones that were on set from time to time, when we would mix them up’.
Mike [White] was very amused by the amount of protein powder I put in the shake. He’d record it and he’d say, ‘Keep putting more in, put more in. It’s so funny when you put eight scoops of protein in,’ and then it would end up tasting like chalk. It was horrible. But I like smoothies, they’re a refreshing, delicious snack.’
But what does Saxon Ratliff’s milkshake really taste like? Chalk and/or ‘pure chalky sand’. Patrick revealed to the media that the fact that his brother Lochy had to hate them worked very well as they were ‘disgusting’.
As for his ideal day of meals, from breakfast to dinner, Schwarzenegger‘s son said banana pancakes are the best way to start the day. ‘I love banana pancakes, or a breakfast burrito, or both together, that sounds good. And a coffee, a strong, strong cold brew coffee. Sounds like a great morning to me.
For lunch, the actor opts for something Italian or sushi, while for dinner, his favourite menu is probably a big steak and mashed potatoes, a full-blown American meal and a nice dessert of banana pudding or banana cream pie.
