This Creamy Vanilla Custard Shake is a yummy summer time treat!
and has an added bonus …. you can make it with raw or cooked eggs…..
The ability to use scrambled eggs or egg whites in this Creamy Vanilla Custard Shake as a protein source makes it really versatile.

While I do recognize the concern about using raw egg whites. Typically when I use raw egg whites, I use the carton-ed ones which have been pasteurized. Working with Brenda to come up with another way of getting the eggs into a shake without them being raw has been a true blessing.
This Shake is extremely creamy like a frozen custard… As written it fits into the Trim Healthy Mama eating style as a Deep S Shake, which means that it has pure fat sources without the ingredients that can stall your weight loss efforts.
Many times we incorporate things like cream cheese and nuts that when used daily can honestly cause a stall. How do I know, it has happened to me.
I had to start really looking at the ingredients I was using and modify some recipes to give both the correct fuel sources as well as limit items which were slowing my weight loss.
Both Brenda and I have made this shake into cream pops as well as into a shake… and they are amazing either way… adding 1/2 cup of berries leaves you with a Satisfying Shake with a flavor twist.
There are so many options it was hard to choose which one to write about first…
So we went with Vanilla to allow everyone to experiment with your favorite flavor combinations.
I look forward to bringing you more options in the future and sharing all of the yummy flavor combinations.
If you make a different variety I’d love to hear about it in the comments!!

This was amazing! I barely had to share it since everyone was too skeptical. Haha, no problem with that. I did notice that you don’t have a sweetener listed. I added 1 T Sweet blend and a bit of stevia and can’t get over it. Thanks and blessings to you today.

judy says
So glad that you enjoyed it 🙂 I’ll have to make a note of the sweetener amount 🙂
Brenda says
Michelle
So glad you loved it and thanks for getting outside the THM smoothie glass with us…more variations to come.
Blessings to you too…brenda
Ann says
I couldn’t decide what to have for breakfast this morning. Then I remembered this shake I printed out, but hadn’t tried yet. I read through the ingredients & realized it was a complete breakfast in itself. And what an awesome liquid breakfast it was!! My next one may have a bit of nutmeg & rum flavoring. 🙂
Judy says
YUM!!
Rebecca says
I miss butterscotch and caramel. Any chance we can incorporate those?
judy says
ohh sure, You can use caramel extract and change up the flavor 🙂
Mandy says
I was just wondering…why cook the eggs? Is it for health purposes or for actual texture and taste?
judy says
Hi Mandy,
Some people have concerns with eating raw eggs or egg whites, so to combat that we came up with this shake as an alternative to using raw eggs… you can however use them if you desire 🙂
Mandy says
I guess you need to know where your eggs are coming from to be safe… I think I will try it with my raw eggs(since I know where they are coming from) . It looks like a real yummy shake.
judy says
I agree, knowing your source for raw foods is very important 🙂
Mandy says
I made this shake this morning for our family of 7—We have 5 daughters still at home that are in their late teens and early 20’s. Everyone like it. I used fresh eggs and added maca powder and butterscotch extract….Oh, so very yummy. Great recipe
judy says
So glad that everyone enjoyed it… that must be difficult at times 🙂
lynnita says
Judy, I don’t think this is a THM shake, there are 4 gm of sugar in a serving of maca powder….knew it was too good to be true!
Judy says
Hi 🙂 Lynnita, I didn’t add maca to this shake? I’m a bit confused by your comment. 🙂
Diane says
Do you think uncooked eggwhites from carton will work?
judy says
I know they will, I use them quite often for things like this 🙂
Gwen says
Oh my goodness!!! This is the BOMB!! Very satisfying and so creamy. I was able to make my shake in my Nutri Bullet and no problems with the coconut oil emulsifying. My only change was that I used 1 egg white and 1 egg. Thanks so much!
judy says
I’m so glad that you liked it :), it’s become one of my favorites!!
Mary Gilbert says
Thank you for linking up at #JoyHopeLive
Brenda Johnson says
Do you think nutmeg and cinnamon would be good added to this? I just made my daughter a piece of French toast where I add vanilla, nutmeg, and cinnamon, and it smells so good! Just wondering if those same flavors would be good in this shake. 🙂
Judy says
Those ingredients sound amazing!! Let me know how it turns out 😀 personally I’d use about 1/4 tsp of each and adjust from there 🙂
Peg Daigneault says
Just wondering why it says first 5 ingredients……then doesn’t mention the others
Judy says
I’ll go in and fix that, I’m sorry
Donna says
Yum! I used raw eggs and left out the protein and coconut oil since I just finished a huge S salad with chicken, but wanted a little something sweet. I also skipped the vanilla, and it tastes just like my favorite sugar-loaded expensive ice cream. So excited to try other variations of this!!
Mindy Wilson says
I love this shake! I add a splash of orange extract and small square of 90% chocolate. I crave having one every day! Sometimes I make it with just egg whites and and leave out the oil, if I want to have something without fat in it. I hope I’m not over doing it because it’s delicious!
rhonda r says
So you really make scrambled eggs, cooked & then blend in the blender? I’m just clarifying….I’d love to try this!
Judy says
Yes ma’am, it works like a charm 🙂
Marysue says
I wondered what glucomannan powder was so i looked at your description; it kinda scared me! Is the purpose just as a source of fiber? If so, can it be left out? I’m new to all of this…trying to naturally lower my triglycerides because the Rx gave me severe headaches, and …I’m as lost as a snowflake in a blizzard!
Thanks!
Marysue
Judy says
You can leave the gluccie out of this, it does help with the thickness of it… however you can also use xanthan gum in it’s place 🙂
Judy says
yes the glucomannan powder can be left out of this if needed 🙂 it helps with fiber as well as to thicken the shake, if leaving it out your shake may be a looser consistency.
Mindy Wilson says
Do you know the calories, fat, carbs etc for this. I’m trying to keep track of what I eat daily on my fitness tracker and need to add this in. Thank you
Judy says
I’m sorry I don’t track those things following Trim Healthy Mama, so no I do not have the numbers for this.
Chrissy says
Hey there!
I’ve been looking for creative THM shakes on Pinterest and found your pin. Ok now, I am very skeptical of the egg part, even after reading everyone’s comments. I’m literally SCARED of the cooked egg part, but nevertheless, we shall see and I’ll let you know… 😉
Judy says
I look forward to your comments 🙂
Chrissy says
And so it passed! I am blissfully enjoying this custard-like shake. I’m almost convinced I have a THM drinking problem. Lol! Thank you for recipe, it definitely adds a twist to the vanilla shake.
Judy says
woohooo 🙂 and it’s all about variety… so many to try … makes the journey more enjoyable
Linda says
I too was skeptical about cooked scrambled eggs, but OMG, this is second to culvers vanilla custard! It’s so creamy. I actually ran the eggs and the almond milk through my ninja small container first before adding all the other ingredients. You would never know the eggs are in there by texture
Suzanne says
I’ve been making this recently. It’s so good! Today I added nutmeg and rum flavoring for an awesome eggnog shake. Thanks for the inspiration and recipe!
Judy says
I am so glad you are enjoying this!! It’s a great shake 🙂
Sheri says
With the raw egg, do you put the whole egg in, or just the egg white?
Judy says
I use whole eggs in this 🙂 but you can do it either way.
Sheri says
What is the purpose of the 2 T melted coconut oil at the end of the ingredients? I would prefer to use refined because I don’t like an overwhelming coconut flavor, but if it’s health benefit related, I will use the other.
Judy says
Sheri, I normally use refine myself… but yes the coconut oil does have healthy benefits especially if it’s unrefined. But you can use either kind 🙂
Diane says
If I use egg whites from a carton, do I cook them first or can I use them uncooked? I have been looking at the recipe for quite awhile and I think I am ready to give it a try. Looks like a great breakfast. Thank you!
Judy says
I actually cook my eggs before adding them to this but if you are okay with the raw egg whites that will work also 🙂
Tanya says
Wondering if I could use MCT oil in place of the coconut oil.
Judy says
You sure can 🙂
Lisa says
Isn’t 11 Carbs too many carbs for a Deep S?
Judy says
when you subtract the fiber from the carbs you get a net carb amount of 10g which fits within Deep S guidelines. 🙂
Ruth Ann says
Is the calorie count really that high? I know that I am not supposed to count calories, but if you are at a stall, I think it helps to look at them.
Judy says
I will go in and recheck everything <3 to make sure it is correct -- the calculator messed some of them up -- counting things that shouldn't have been counted (sweetener as sugar)
Aimee says
This is one of my favorite shakes for breakfast. I use 2 boiled eggs instead of cooking the eggs (I always have boiled eggs on hand and it’s a serious time saver for me). I also use 1 tablespoon of MCT oil instead of the coconut oil. This recipe is amazing! If you’re on the fence because of the eggs, try it! Thanks for such a great recipe. I’ve been telling everyone about it. Also for some reason when I try to select 5 stars, it’s only showing 4. 5 stars for sure!
Martha says
All I’ve got to say is, “You are a genius!!” This is the most amazing THM shake that I’ve had. Especially now that it looks like I’m going to be Dairy free. I left the whey out and it tastes amazing still.
My baby tries to steal it every time. …It won’t let me rate it 5 stars either.
Judy says
I’m so very glad that you are enjoying it and that the little one is too 🙂
Julie says
I added vanilla collagen to mine and it was amazing!
Cher says
Would really like some clearer directions as first 5 ingredienrs + oil and ice totally give no action to the sweetener and protein powder. Thanks.😋
Leigh Anne Miles says
What is this sorcery?? I’ve had this recipe pinned for a while now and was too chicken to try it. I’m soooo glad I did! I riffed on your recipe a bit… I wanted something warm so I heated my almond milk (3/4-1cup since I wasn’t using ice) and added caramel extract and 2 tsp of cocoa powder. Man oh man! It’s so so good!! How do I not get lumps of scrambled egg?? I don’t know and don’t care haha! My kids are going to love this! Thank you so much!
Gwen says
Will this work without using glucomannan powder or xanthan gum? Thank you!😊
Judy says
Yes Ma’am 🙂
Gwen says
Thank you so much!😊
Brenda says
This was soooo yummy! Made a decadent breakfast where I felt I was being naughty for having something so good! I used the carton egg whites since I was in a hurry and didn’t have time for scrambled eggs to cool. Can’t wait to make again into freezer pops to have in hand. Thank you!!
Judy says
So happy that you enjoyed it!!
Sara says
I just made this with vanilla, rum extract, and lavender. It is delightful. Lavender as a spice is so unique and just so soothing.
Corey Anderson says
This shake is insanely delicious!! I can’t believe it’s a Deep S or healthy — it tastes like something out of Rita’s Custard Shop. I used the carton egg whites and added 1/2 tsp Olive Nation Butterscotch Extract. Like you, I’ve had to take a hard look at what I’m really eating and am working to incorporate more Deep S and FP items into my meal plan. This is going into heavy rotation. FIVE STARS.
Christina says
Oh. My. Word.
I’ve been so afraid of trying this with the eggs, AND NOW I AM HOOKED. I’m not sure I’ve ever eaten something I liked more. Seriously. Now I need other flavors to mix this up, because this could be a daily affair. YUM!!!!
Deanna Paine says
What a delicious way to get your eggs in! I was hesitant to try this because cold rubbery chunks of eggs in a smoothy sounds disgusting lol. This was so smooth, frosty, & delicious! I think that adding a touch of nutmeg & cinnamon might be the bomb.. making an eggnog shake! Gonna try that next. Thank you so much for this recipe!
Cheryl Ethridge says
Would melted butter work if I can’t have coconut oil? Thanks! It sounds yummy.
Judy says
yes it would 🙂
Erin says
I’m really wanting to try this but was confused on when to add the sweetener and whey. I’m guessing right along with the previous 5 ingredients?
Girl From the Golden West says
I made the shake and the flavor was delicious! It tasted like I was drinking heavy cream!!😋the only problem was the texture… it was an icy slush, not a thick emulsified shake… did I do something wrong or is that how it’s supposed to be?
Judy says
I have never had that happen with this shake, it typically emulsifies into a creamy thick shake … I am not sure what happened.
Jordan says
SO YUMMY! I’ve made this twice now, and this last time I made it exactly as written but I added a shot of espresso…SO DELICIOUS
Robin says
I always have hard boiled.egges.in the fridge so I use those.to.save the of scrblong and letting them cool. 😊
Rainey Ahrens says
After reading all of the comments and answers, I no longer have questions😊 I just started my 1st fuel cycle today and can’t wait for breakfast tomorrow morning. I have boiled eggs in the fridge right now and I ain’t afraid to use them! If this is as yummy as everyone says I may of just found the recipe that will bring my hubby to the THM side😍
Patty says
Wow! This is creamy and delicious!
I used raw eggs, omitted vanilla extract, swapped vanilla protein powder with 1/2 & 1/2 strawberry pristine powder and collagen, added 1/4 tsp sunflower lecithin powder, then, because I like to get my veggies in, I added 1c of frozen yellow squash & zucchini blend and 1/2c or so of frozen okra with 1 tsp super sweet. I also used MCT oil.
Even though it is slightly green in color, it tasted only of creamy strawberry goodness. This is such a versatile recipe, thank you!
I hope it remains a Deep S with my tweaks! I haven’t done the calculations, still learning in that area, especially with all these types of modifications. Is there an app you know of that’s this detail oriented?
I wanted to post a photo of my “Strawberry Custard Shake” but don’t know how to do that.
Amy says
Will this still have the right consistency if you leave out the protein power? I can’t get any where I live!
Judy says
I have never tried it that way, so I am not sure.
Melissa George says
Wow!! This is delicious!! I used egg whites from a carton and didn’t scramble them. I also used collagen instead of whey and unrefined coconut oil because I like the coconut flavor. It was absolutely scrumptious! I know I will be making this fast, easy, delicious treat often! Thank you for such a great recipe!
