Raw Eggs
Rocky Balboa drank four raw eggs every morning as part of his training regime, but unless you are planning on winning a Heavyweight Championship title, you probably don't need to take it that far. So what's the deal with drinking raw eggs anyway? Well they are absolutely packed full of vitamins, essential fatty acids and stuff like lecithin and cholesterol (which is a good thing), and most importantly, protein which will keep you feeling fuller, longer. If the thought of drinking a slimy raw egg is putting you off, trust us, once it's blended into your smoothie you won't be able to taste it at all. It's the ultimate secret smoothie ingredient! Check out this recipe for a killer raw egg smoothie.
