Salmonella Warning
The news reported that this illness has been reported in several states.
They listed tainted/uncooked meat, vegetables, fruit and RAW EGGS as possible causes.
Someone recently posted that ingesting this bacteria is extremely rare, but, cleaning the eggshell with vinegar or placing it in boiling hot water for 10 seconds would make the RAW EGG safe.
I use both methods and have not had any problems.
I have been taking drinking this shake for about five days and I have to say that it is a keeper. Some of the benefits so far:
1. More energy
2. better quality of sleep
3. glowing skin
All this after five days. In the past I would drink this shake without the wheat germ oil, raw wheat germ and got good results in regards to obtaining muscle tone. I think it is the wheat germ that is making my skin glow and my nails are growing faster as well. Today I added flax seed.
I used to feel really full after I drank this. Like, I wouldn't have to really eat throughout the day, but lately, I am hungry. I made my shake about 2 hours ago, and now I'm ready to eat. I feel like it goes straight through me now, like my metabolism burns off its energy really quickly. Is this a good thing? Are you ladies still really full from the shake, or have you begun feeling hunger pangs?
Also, my skin was looking good, but now, in the last few days that I have been drinking it again, it has a new clarity, freshness and radiance to it.
This was such a great post, i remember when you shared this earlier...MBL thick hair, girl, that got me. It was like everything began to fall into place, to just "fit." You were one of the first people, besides the author and myself, that could verify of the potency of this on hair. I knew my cousins in Louisiana had this kinda hair and they drank this shake and were uber-smart. I think this drink helps your mental clarity as well, i'm gonna get my babes to drink, but first i gotta hide all the egg shells, i don't wanna freak them out. talk about picky eaters .
Thanks again for sharing, Puffy~
Okay ladies, I took the plunge!!! So here's my review.........I'm officially an Egglet!!! Not bad, not bad at all. Here's what I crafted up:
And it wasn't bad at all!!! I was quite surprised at how it tasted, and I can see myself rockin' this concoction daily. You ladies got my vote. Tomorrow though, I'll leave out the cinnamon and nutmeg to see how it tastes. I just can't wait to get that wheatgerm oil to see how it tastes. Happy to be on board with the Egglets!!
For me, it made my weight go down. I eat less and feel more energized even without exercise. My wii said my BMI went down, but my weight is the same. If I exercised more, I'd be a bad mama jamma!
Question,
How does cleaning w/ vinegar help? Are you using the ENTIRE egg (shell and all in the blender) or is it b/c the shell is somewhat permeable, therefore cleaning and boiling as an effect to the egg inside?
Thnks!
Hmmm... Kelp! I was taking it a couple of weeks ago for weight loss but when I kept gaining weight I got discouraged. I will start it back up tomorrow.
I am also ashamed to list all the vitamins I am taking right now but I guess I better.
And believe it or not I throw all of them into my shake! I tell myself that I don't need to eat with all the vitamins I take daily!
- Multi Vitamin
- B-Complex
- Vitamin B6 (50 mg)
- Biotin (1 mg)
- Propolis (1/2 tsp - started 4 days ago)
- Zinc (50 mg b/c I got low iron)
- N-Acetly-L_Cysteine (600 mg caught VJ -vitamin junkie from dsylla regimen earlier this year so I'm taking it till it runs out - hate to waste)
- Vitamin D (2000 I.U. till it runs out)
- MSM (2g)
- Vitamin C (2g)
- Super Seed (1/2 scoop - contains Chia seeds)
Has anyone tried adding coconut oil to their shake? I ingest coconut oil raw, but I was wondering how it would affect the taste of the shake, you know, being that it has that coconut taste and all.
ETA: Do you have to take the shake on an empty stomach?
I have been still faithfully waking up earlIER to take my shake. Which is hard for me because I'm use to waking up with just enough time to get ready and bolt out the door. But I am so feeling the shake working that it's worth it. The energy I have is welcomed. I'm not going to Jack in the crack for those delicious breakfast sandwiches; I'm full from the shake.
My nails are still growing like crazy! I took my QW down maybe 2 hours ago and oiled my scalp and hair down with my pre-wash treatment of black jamaican castor oil, coconut oil, and extra virgin olive oil. When I wash it tomorrow, I can see what type of growth I've had.
But is anyone else gaining weight or noticed that you were gaining weight from drinking the shake? If so, what did you take out to stop the weight gain
Don't feel bad MonaRae, cause I thought I take a lot of supplements. If it makes you feel any better here's my list:
- b12 liquid drops (under tongue)
- PHion Gold (prebiotic complex in shake)
- Phion Green (alkalizing green super foods in shake)
- Phion Indigo (antioxidant complex in shake)
- acai capsules (in shake)
- fish, flaxseed, and borage softgels (every other day)
- ginko biloba (everyday)
- chitosan (dietary supplement for carbs)
- another supplement that contains: b6, choline, inositol, L-Methionine, taurine, betaine HCI, and barberry
- Korean red ginseng (energy)
- plus the stuff added to the shake (wheat germ, wheat germ oil, lecithin, flax seed oil)

PB,
I've been thinking about a personal blender to take to work, too! At work sometimes I have a hankering for a shake/smoothie and it would be better than going to that darn vending machine
