Another piece of advice nutritionist Lyn gave me, was to put an egg in my morning green smoothie for protein.
Come again? An egg white you mean?
Nope, a whole egg. She promised it made the concoction smooth and creamy, so I decided to give it a try
High-Protein Green Smoothie
- Blueberries
- Apple
- Cucumber
- Chocolate protein powder (or protein powder of choice)
- 1 T Health Warrior chia seeds
- Spinach and/or kale
- 1 egg
- ice
I added everything up to the leafy greens into my Vitamix (plus some water to get the blender going). After adding some ice, I then added the egg and blended for about 10 more seconds
Taking that first sip, the taste took a bit getting used to. It wasn’t bad at all, just a bit “meringue-y” if you know what I mean.
I ended up drinking the whole thing, so I clearly liked it. We will see how my body and satiation respond!
**Note: You must use an organic, cage-free egg, not a commercial egg. The brand I used was Horizon.
Now I’m headed to one of my favorite places for a demo…Charlottesville!

Using a raw egg kind of scares me/freaks me out. But then again, I will totally eat raw cookie dough with eggs in it so I guess it is kind of like the same concept!
Yea it freaked me out too. To be honest, I didn’t like it that much! I missed my half of an avocado instead. I had to try it though!
