Egg Fast Coffee Mocha Shake

About

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).

Ingredients

4 fl oz black coffee
1 large raw egg
1 oz cream cheese
¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
10 Drop liquid stevia
½ tablespoon cocoa powder
½ tablespoon coconut oil
6 ice cube ice or ice cubes

Instructions

Make a cup of coffee in advance so it has time to cool before you use it in the recipe, hot coffee will cook your egg, which you don’t want. Make more than what is listed in the ingredients so you can properly measure the correct amount of prepared coffee later on. You may wish to make the coffee a little stronger than you normally prefer so you can taste the flavor in your shake.
When your coffee is no longer warm, make the shake by combining it with raw egg, cold cream cheese, vanilla extract, liquid stevia, and unsweetened cocoa powder in a blender or food processor. Blend the ingredients together, then melt coconut oil in the microwave and drizzle it into the food processor while it's running. You can taste the shake and adjust the flavor with more liquid stevia or a flavoring extract.
Blend ice cubes into the shake 2-3 pieces at a time. You will need 6-8 ice cubes for a frothy to frozen shake. Although the shake needs to be made at the time of consumption, you can make chilled or cold-brew coffee in advance to make the recipe even easier for yourself.
