1 Egg
2-5 egg whites, 3 in this recipe
2 tbsp Flax Meal
2 Tbsp Peanut Butter
2 Tbsp Great Value sugar free chocolate sauce (very important, Wal Mart)
1 Scoop Vanilla protein powder (27 g. protein, Costco SportPharma blend)

Grind the flax meal in a coffee grinder until it is almost a paste. It gets almost like peanut butter. Mix this with the eggs and yolks with a fork or hand mixer. Add the peanut butter, then maybe 1/2 cup water. Add the chocolate sauce. You must get the house brand from WalMart, it is superior in every way to the name brand stuff. It has an orange label.

Mix until smooth, add the protein powder. I'd have used chocolate but I had vanilla and it worked well. I might even add some vanilla extract if I used chocolate protein, dunno. I added one pack of Splenda, but that is optional. It all depends on what it takes to hide the taste of the flax meal.

At this point, it tastes great, but you'll probably want to blend it with some ice until it is smooth, and you can split it up into two 280 cal Fat/Protein shakes.

sounds tasty but isn't eating raw eggs bad for you?

Ever had Meringue? Raw egg white and sugar....mmmmmm :D

Not so much bad as it is a waste since you only assimilate ~50% (http://jn.nutrition.org/cgi/content/full/128/10/1716) of the protein.

Rocky (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3EYZCZvV7WM) thought it was a good idea, but didn't know the science (when he could have simply had an omelet ) ;)

They are a cheap source of good protein. Raw eggs can be dangerous due to salmonella contamination, but I just throw one in there for some fat. Yeah, I know it's saturated, I don't eat a lot of them. Egg whites have been pasteurized so they're safe

Don't know about the absorption. They're cheap, I'll use twice as many.

I made another one today, left out the water and used 3 tbsp of chocolate. 1/2 c. of egg whites. About 8 ice cubes. Absolutely perfect. It's my favorite protein and fat meal besides steak and eggs:)
