What did Bruce Lee’s bizarre diet look like?

Bruce Lee’s diet consisted of highly unimaginable aspects. In his biography, his friend and legendary actor James Coburn revealed that he once got scared by Lee’s diet. The master had immense faith in deriving benefits from items like ginseng and queen bee honey. He would drink a bizarre protein shake that consisted of Rheo Blair Protein Powder, ice water, powdered milk, eggs, eggshells, bananas, vegetable oil, peanut flour, and chocolate ice cream.

However, the most mouth-widening part of his diet was drinking beef blood. As per science, beef blood consists of water and protein. So apart from gaining protein from smoothies and shakes, Lee would also enjoy the benefits of beef blood. It was the master’s dedication to his diet and training that elevated his strength level. Indeed, that made him the greatest martial art legend in the world.
