here's some shakes you could try
Protein egg-nog (8oz-16oz milk, 2-3 egg yokes, scoop whey,*pack or 2 splenda, *dash of vanilla extract)
sweet potato shake (8oz milk, small sweet potato, scoop of whey, dash of cinnamon)
Orange julius (4oz milk, 4oz orange juice, 2 egg yokes, scoop of whey, *pack or 2 splenda, *dash of vanilla extract)
*add if you need some more sweetness/flavor (if your using bland or unflavored whey especially)
"To Cook, or Not to Cook?
Many people believe that the health benefits of egg yolks are greater when the yolks are consumed raw. Heat destroys enzymes and reduces the amount of certain nutrients. Those who eat raw egg yolks report easier digestion, increased stamina, and resistance to illness-- not to mention a quicker snack if you're on-the-go.
Believe it or not, raw egg yolks taste somewhat like vanilla!
Please see Dr. Mercola's article on the safety of eating raw egg yolks if this is a concern.
While egg whites are not particularly important to consume, they are relatively harmless when cooked. However, raw egg whites should NOT be consumed.
Egg whites contain anti-nutrients. Avidin is a glycoprotein in egg whites that binds to the B vitamin biotin, and can lead to a deficiency of this vitamin.
Additionally, egg whites contain trypsin inhibitors, which could possibly inhibit proper digestion of protein, and growth. Heat destroys both of these compounds.
Please read Dr. Mercola's article on this particular point here. Again, egg whites are safe to eat cooked, but contain anti-nutrients that could hurt your nurtritional status if consumed raw. "-
