I have been reading a lot about raw foods and have found a few posts on this forum about members who eat plenty of raw eggs. After this contest diet, I plan on making raw eggs an important part of my offseason diet (free range eggs). For those of you who do drink raw eggs, how do you get them down? I was thinking of mixing them in a blender with whole oats and some cinnamon and stevia.

Under no circumstance think about a 5 pack a day smoker hacking, wheezing, coughing up flem, and blowing their nose when you do decide to try and suck those yolks down.

I would not recommend consuming "raw" eggs as the risk of salmonella is too high IMO. I do however consume pasturized egg whites on a regular basis both in the liquid (raw) form and cooked. If in the liquid form you can add them to almost anything. I have drink them with some added water, lemon juice, and splenda for a nice lemonade. I have added them to my grits, oats, etc as part of the required water. Also use them in shakes with a little protein powder to give them flavor. Use your imagination as the pasturized are almost completely odorless/tasteless and the consistancy is not the same as raw as they are less viscous

Actually the risk of salmonella in good free range eggs is almost zero. A USDA study in April of 2002 said .03 of 1% of 69 billion eggs have any contamination at all, and almost 100% of this tiny number are from caged chickens standing around in crap. I would not fear salmonella in a good free rang egg at all...not one iota..salmonella comes from sick birds living in sick conditions..

I understand the risk may be low, but still present? I thought that pasturization eleminates this risk all together. Is there any real benefit of whole raw eggs versus pasturized egg whites other than the good fats which can be obtained by other sources. I must be missing something if this is common practice for some?
I just drink em down. They are gross but I just chase - em with some water or other drink. I get no taste at all. The thickness and sliminess is the only issue. Been doing it for five plus years and never got salmonella or other issues except gas.
I do about 8 beaten and mixed with trueprotein milk isolate and egg powder and some natty PB. Or I just slam em rocky style. I always make sure to take a few hydrochloric caps with this, eliminates any undigested protein from becoming very nasty gas.
You'll start to crave them after awhile. I think the body knows that raw eggs are awesome nutrition, regardless of what I've read. Pasteurization sucks because it kills most of the benefits of eating raw foods, and eggs are one of the best after milk.
I'm lucky, I know a few ladies that have chickens as pets and these chickens make the best eggs I've ever had.
I would drink the egg whites with some LBA stirred into them, I'd imagine with whole eggs would be ok as well, this is how Id do it at least but I enjoy eating mine cooked for now. I have some of the new LBA and might try with some raw eggs next time Im in a pinch for time.
Some micellar casein, crystal light and a couple whole eggs mixed kinda like a fruit pudding is one way I do it. They aren't that bad to drink either, just chase quickly
