This vitamin-packed

smoothie is a great

way to get your

daily dose before

you even walk out

the door. It includes

plenty of high-

energy foods rich

in antioxidants

and protein. Raw

eggs are extremely

healthful but it is

important to use

eggs from a sanitary

source: that

means choosing

free-range organic

eggs from pastured

chickens whenever

possible to avoid

unwanted bacteria.

The yolk of the

egg has the most

vitamins minerals

and good fats.
