People like different things. My Dad, however, was having trouble eating foods including meat, so we developed a high protein smooth. We chose whey protein powder over soy, but it is your choice. You do not have to use pasturized eggs if you don't want to, but I only use pasturized for my Dad since he is at risk if he got salmonella. The chances, though, of getting salmonella poisoning with an egg is pretty small however.
