Eating raw eggs has a love-or-hate relationship with the diet community. However, the controversy is less about health benefits and more about edibility! If you’re into that sort of thing, this egg-fast shake recipe made with raw eggs and cream cheese might be up your alley. In just five minutes, you can get your whole egg, fat, and a little caffeine so you can get on with your day. Since the shake includes coffee, this obviously makes a great breakfast. You can substitute the coffee with decaf and enjoy the shake as an end-of-day treat as well, though! A hint of vanilla, coconut, cocoa and a zero-carb Keto sweetener round out the drink. If you’re hesitant about the whole raw egg thing, this is a good egg fast recipe to introduce yourself to the idea, since you won’t taste it at all. ### Here's a note regarding the recipe's cooking time: You’ll notice this recipe has a very short prep time and no cooking time at all. The directions will call for you to brew a cup of coffee, but please note this step is not included in the recipe time. That time will vary based on how long it takes you to brew coffee and bring it to a chilled temperature. If you’d like to speed up this process, make the recipe with prepared cold-brew coffee. ### Why is it safe to consume raw eggs? It’s true that raw eggs and other chicken products can become contaminated with salmonella. However, this infection can only occur under certain circumstances, just like all foods. If you store and handle your food properly, you won’t get sick. Raw eggs should always be kept below 40 degrees Fahrenheit and used right after cracking. Don’t ever use an egg that has a cracked shell or is dirty. Disclaimer: This recipe contains raw eggs. We must warn you that consuming raw or undercooked meats, poultry, seafood, shellfish, or eggs may increase your risk of foodborne illness, especially if you have increased susceptibility (i.e., elderly, children, pregnant women, immunocompromised individuals).
