can i throw raw eggs in a shake? egg whites? whats the deal
no. avoid raw eggs always.
contrary to popular belief, raw eggs are not for bodybuilders. Your body only assimilates about 2g of protein per egg when you eat them raw. When you cook them, you have the benefit of all 6g of protein.
There is a very small risk of salmonella if eating eggs raw instead of cooked...but that is just another possibility to consider as well.
If you are like me and just simply are sick and tired of eggs and oatmeal in the mornings, you can try to make healthy fried rice in the morning.
1 cup brown rice + 2 tbsp low sodium soy sauce + 3 eggs + chopped carrots/celery/onions + garlic/pepper to taste - cook the rice and eggs (scramble them) separately, then throw them all together in a big saucepan or wok and cook together with the veggies, soy sauce, and seasonings. The bland egg and oatmeal taste is gone and replaced with some delicious quasi Chinese food.
