*~Drink your way to waistlength hair~* I am!

[Br*nzeb*mbsh~ll]

Exactly.
Salmonella comes from the outside of the egg being contaminated. Nothing in the egg causes illness - unless the eggs aren't fresh, that is...
FYI
Rinsing (not cooking, LOL)the eggs in scalding water can help kill any bacteria lingering on the outside.

To those who questioned the "too much protien", there is such a thing. It is just not something that I am going to discuss in detail on this board because it is my personal health issue. As well, as I was trying to stay up on what was going on with the thread since I had fell off a few months back after joining on.

However, you are more than welcome to google it. There is plenty of information on the Internet instead of assuming things.

***Sorry Bronze if I stepped on your toes. I wasn't trying to, just addressing an issue.

 

[Br*nzeb*mbsh~ll]

Oh, no, did I miss something?

I know there is definitely such a thing. I addressed it as well.
It can be within the body or the hair.
You're fine. You didn't step on my toes.

Thank you for your input, A Shoe, I'm sure you saved others from possibly harming themselves.

I value awareness.

Edited to add: I couldn't respond properly because my keyboard was on the blink. I quoted you to respond to you and wish you to get well soon. I totally agree with you.

Just cocktailed, y'all, and stopping by to wish each one of you a great start in this brand new year! I ran out of my liquid reddiegg mix (Whole Foods) this week, so I've been adding extra eggnog to compensate. I know, not good for waist line, but what's an egglette to do????? Gotta get in my milk and eggs any way I can!!!!!

 

[Br*nzeb*mbsh~ll]

Stella, Guuurl, get that egg in by hook or by crook, I say!

 

[AnitaTheLengths]

I saw this thread years ago. I thought to myself "Boom"! I do NOT drink milk. I do NOT eat eggs. Baked in a cake, Fine. Any thing else, HAIL NO! I don't even do fried rice! So I just said whatever, it's not for me.

FF. Once I stopped lurking I noticed the funny siggy with the lady drinking from the pink cup. And I noticed a lot of people had the challenge in their siggy's. Still I'm thinking BOOM!

Then last week I decided to read through some of the pages and I happened upon a few mini-updates and I was to say the least. Such amazing thick growth! And reports of glowing skin?! Why didn't yall tell me?

As horrified as I was this morning, I got up, got an egg, the vanilla soy milk, wheat germ products and a dash of cinnamon - got to mixing - and I actually got it down! I won't do that concoction again without fruit or something, but I GOT IT DOWN! A RAW EGG! AND MILK!!!! Just thinking about it makes me want to but I'm going to give it a go Bronze. Count me in.

 

[Br*nzeb*mbsh~ll]

Boom! AnitaTheLengths has joined us!! Let's welcome our newest Egglette to our Nest!!!

LOL ~ I got a good one outta reading your post. If only you'd tried it yeeeaaars agooooo, just imagine what your hair and skin would look like today? Just had to rub it in.

Keep us updated and you'll go gaga over it with fruit. Promise. Throw some ice and honey in there and it's .

Hey egglettes! Welcome AnitaTheLengths...you will love the cocktail. Co-signing with Br*nze on the fruit, ice and honey. If you use frozen bananas you can skip the ice. Unless you prefer super cold drinks. I did good cocktailing this week. I'm about to run out of wheat germ oil though but maybe i'll be able to re-up this weekend.

 

[Br*nzeb*mbsh~ll]

I've been out of it this week. Why, you ask? Haven't gotten my cocktails on. *smh* I thought my fridge would have been repaired this week, but it hasn't. Not sure how this will affect next week. I may cocktail for lunch, instead. We'll see how it goes.

 

[AnitaTheLengths]

Yep! Frozen Strawberries and Bananas did the trick! DH mixed it up for me this morning because I was almost running late. The recipe is on the fridge, I just told him to add some frozen fruit to it and Boy oh Boy! I couldn't believe it! I had to call home to ask if he really used an egg and soy milk I raved so much that he "licked the blender" and decided that we'll both be having shakes in the morning! Thanks shortycocoa & Bronze!


if only I COULD go back in time and tell myself to drink my way to WL

 

[Blaque*Angel]

Welcome Anitathelengths and all the other new egglettes

Well, I'm on a raw vegan detox and have gone 8 days without my beloved shake!
My body was craving it deeply,I thought "to heck with this" and just whipped me up a large cocktail

It's a raw detox and we have our eggs raw right?
Sorry but this shake is going to have to be an exception

I love this thread,Lets keep it positive

 

[Okay]

Okay, i found out about the salmonella

App. salmonella is found in 1 in a 1000 eggs.
And when you found 10 of the infected eggs that would be 10 out of 10.000 then only ONE of those eggs have salmonella INSIDE the egg.

I know it only takes ONE egg to get infected but i will take my chances.

 

[BellaLunie]

I want to join but there's so many pages I can't possibly get thru all of it. Bronze weren't you working on a new thread? Also I wanted to know if drinking a whey protein shake would be the same thing as this shake? The kind im taking is from Vitamin shoppe and it has 25 grams per scoop. How many times a day are you ladies drinking this mix? I'm sorry if this has been discussed before but I just glossed over the first few and last pages. TIA

 

[trynagrow]

I've been following this thread, off and on (busy mom) but I love to make smoothies So, wondering, how can I do a form of this.

What do you ladies think . . . If I'm already doing low carb most days eating cooked eggs for breakfast (maybe even lunch too in the form of quiche) and usually a fruit smoothie (usually berries, yogurt, flax, sometimes banana added) and now alternating with fruits and veggies (carrot, apple, spinach, romaine). Any suggestions, thoughts, ideas?

I would love to whip up a quick a protein shake for lunch as a meal replacement on hectic or tired days. I don't want to gain weight though (working on losing!) Any advice?

 

[BellaLunie]

 

[PinkyD]

Hi Egglettes!

I had my first smoothie yesterday.
1/2 cup Vanilla Almond Milk
1 TBS Wheat Germ Oil (WGO)
1 TBS Lecethin
2 TSP Wheat Germ Flakes
Dole Frozen Mixed fruit (pineapple, strawberry,peach)
1 Raw Eggland's Best Egg
Drizzle of honey

My Thoughts:
Thank GOD for straws! I do not like the taste, and I was heavy on the fruit mind you. Wheat germ is not tasty. But I finished my skake. Today I tried 6oz of strawberry yogurt plus a splash of almond milk, I also left out the honey. Still the taste is 'meh'. I have three months worth of lecethin and wheat germ oil, so I will try to keep strong. I dont want to add anything fattening (yet tastY) to the mix because I want the weight loss effects. I am drinking my yogurt shake as I type right now , with a straw. The straw allows the shake to bypass most of my tastebuds prior to initiating a swallow

ETA: After 4 days of mixing, I have changed my method of mixing slightly. I now mix the egg by itself for 30 sec or so, then I add my almond milk and blend thoroughly, then I add all other ingredients. By doing this, my egg gets well blended.
Ta-tah Egglettes!

Keep up the good work ladies...im off to the shake recipes thread

My Shake in My Stay or Go, Personal Blender Cup!

Bronze, did I see in the other thread that you were contemplating a 2010 challenge?

[PinkyD]

Anyone noticed increased congestion after drinking the shake? It may not be the shake but I have excessive mucous (TMI I know).

 

[HairHustla]

Hey Darling Egglettes:

I have been gone till November...LOL but I have carried you all in my heart and am STILL doing the shake although for the month of December I had family here visiting so I just did not have the time to get it in...6 family members all at once is a bit much! Also, unfortunately, I am getting ready to partake in something called the HCG protocol for weight loss so I won't be able to do my shake until Febuaryish...BUT, I just want you all to know that it is now a part of my life and I do it whenever humanly possible and can't wait until I can be reunitied with it! My hair is so healthy, my body is healthy and I just can't say enough about it. So happy new year to everyone, sorry I am not a regular poster but I think I get posting A-D-D or something because I just can't stay on posting task...LOL. You all be blessed and I will check in whenever the next posting whim hits. Love You all!

HH

PinkyD, are you using milk? If so, that may be increasing or thickening the mucus. Try vanilla soy instead,

 

[Okay]

almond milk is so expensive here
i might as well use water right?
I get the feeling that a straw makes a big difference?

Going off to buy eggs tommorow, a packet of straws, and some fruit and veggies.
Some coconut water perhaps

 

[NJoy]

ok, so the shakes have grown on me. Dare I say my strawberry/banana shake was DELICOUS! I think it took some getting used to the wheat germ. The vanilla soy and a little honey did the trick. That and my peaches recipe should hold me for a bit.

As a matter of fact, I'm feeling so good about how clear my complexion has become (my hair's braided so, can't see any changes there) that I even threw in an extra egg. Then I went as far as thinking to myself that I could probably drink an egg down by itself raw now. Then I came to my senses. Whooooaaaa, Nelly! Gotta crawl before you walk. lol.

Looking forward to my shake in the morning. Just bought more wheat germ and feeling pretty proud of myself. Before I started the challenge, the thought of the shake make me gag. Hmm. I've come a long way baby! ;-)

 

[BklynFox]

I haven't been able to find W.germ oil so I made it w/o
I also didn't use any fruit.
It needs the fruit I used honey but the strong nutty
flavor needs to be cut with fruit IMO.
I'll continue to drink it this way all in the name of good health.
If your considering this drink don't forget the fruit. erplexed

I had to go to my local herb shop (or try a health foods store) to get wheat germ oil. HTH.

Oh, and get some FRUIT, mama!!

 

[PinkyD]

Iherb.com for wheat germ oil

 

[Jenaee]

Hi All!!

I joined the Egglette fam and had my 1st shake today. Here's what I used

1 heaping scoop of 100% Egg Protein (Healthy N Fit)
1 tsp of wheat germ oil
1 tsp of ground flax
1 cup skim milk
a handful of raspberries/blueberries
1/2 of a banana


It was ok....rather milky tasting. I may need to added a lil juice to it. I sipped it over a half hour.

I'm in it to win it

 

[NikkiNee]

Yep! Frozen Strawberries and Bananas did the trick! DH mixed it up for me this morning because I was almost running late. The recipe is on the fridge, I just told him to add some frozen fruit to it and Boy oh Boy! I couldn't believe it! I had to call home to ask if he really used an egg and soy milk I raved so much that he "licked the blender" and decided that we'll both be having shakes in the morning! Thanks shortycocoa & Bronze!


if only I COULD go back in time and tell myself to drink my way to WL

Hi I am new to this thread can you list your recipe. Yours seems like one I could actually get down Please and thanks

 

[PinkyD]

I have been using only almond milk with my shake, and still the excess mucous(TMI I KNOW!). One day without the shake and the mucous went away...sigh. On the other hand....I have alot more energy or should a say,I actually have energy. One shake at 9:00am and it's after noon and I am still full. I will keep the shake going, also I have changed my method of mixing slightly. I now mix the egg by itself for 30 sec or so, then I add my almond milk and blend thoroughly, then I add all other ingredients. By doing this, my egg gets well blended.
Ta-tah Egglettes!

Glad you liked it! Frozen fruit is awesome....I use it almost exclusively now but sometimes I will use fresh fruit. Especially when I don't want my drink to be that cold. A lot of times if I have too much fruit and it's ripening really fast then I freeze it for my cocktail.
I keep my recipe on the refrigerator too. I needed it at first when I started to make sure I was making the drink correctly, but now I don't even need it. It's still there though, only to remind me to take all the ingredients out. Be careful if your husbands/mates/SO's are drinking the cocktail with you. It increases vitality and produces stronger erections .....that's all I'm saying. Be prepared. I meant to say that a while back but it's easy to get sidetracked in this thread!

Don't worry about not starting the drink when you first saw the thread. I did too at first, but now I don't think about it because I'm reaping all the benefits now and will continue to reap them in the future. We all will. It's not how you start, it's how you finish. At the end of the day that's all that matters!

You can use water. I had suggested it a while back when some of us ran out of soymilk. I was using water briefly but I missed my soymilk so I stopped. If you have access to raw almonds, you can make your own almond milk. Just soak the raw almonds overnight in about 1 or 2 cups of water (or enough water to cover them in the container), then the next day you can drain them, then dump them in a blender with about 2 cups of water and blend it with a sweetener of your choice like honey, agave nectar, or a few soaked dates without the pits. then strain the mixture through a nut milk bag or a cheesecloth. save the pulp to make raw cookies, cakes, or pies. If you don't have access to raw almonds, use any other affordable raw nut in your area that will meet your protein/calcium needs.

When I was raw I would make a huge pitcher of a breakfast/lunch smoothie to drink throughout the whole day with fruit and nuts. It was very good for me, filling and nutritious.

I love coconut water, but I haven't put it in my cocktail yet. At least not that I can remember. This thread is so big, it's hard to remember the small details.

Honey!!! That's what I'm missing in my strawberry and banana drink. SO glad you mentioned it. Thanks to you AND Br*nze!

You can't go wrong with the honey. I use it a lot, especially if my fruit is not sweet enough. What I like to do though is wait for my bananas to get really ripe, then peel and break them in half and store them in freezer bags. It's easier that way because you just grab the two halves instead of trying to eyeball the slices to make sure it is exactly one piece of fruit. Plus, if you're cutting calories or you want to use banana and another fruit, you can just use half a frozen banana and combine it with your other fruit choice. This week I also froze half a sliced cantaloupe, so I'm using bananas and cantaloupe in my drink.

As a matter of fact, I'm feeling so good about how clear my complexion has become (my hair's braided so, can't see any changes there) that I even threw in an extra egg.

nothing wrong with that! I cocktail every day with 2 eggs.

Fruit is listed in the original recipe, so I was under the impression that we were all using some type of fruit, right ladies? Don't worry about the wheat germ oil too much...I ran out of it day before yesterday and I am still cocktailing without it. I didn't like the idea of missing my drink just for not having one ingredient. So get your drink on, girl!
