Egg whites in your protein shake!

[ironwings]

Ok ladies, you guys know how I am about food. Can't stand oatmeal, don't like drinking my supplements....I could go on and on.

So, I came across this recipe for a protein shake that called for 1/4 cup egg whites (container kind). Of course my nose snurled up but hey, a girls got to do what a girls got to do. In went the egg whites. Onebreath looked at me like I had gone off of my rocker. Perhaps I had!

Anywho, perfecto. Add them to your shake next time for a little extra protein (mixed with whey and you've got a perfect combination!). You'll find the consistancy is fantastic and of course you can't taste them.

I posted this recipe in the "Getting Healthy" thread. I don't think I mentioned to add whey protein - but add whatever powder supplements you take.

Drink up! I prefer a straw

Wow! I was afraid you were setting yourself up for major fratulence!

As picky as she is about food, if she can handle straight egg whites, anyone can. I still can't believe she does it.

I will definitely give this a try. Thanks IW.

lol I've thrown a whole egg in there a couple of times, but definitely like the egg whites in it. It makes it kind of frothy.

You go girl! That is a little more advanced to me. Perhaps one day ;-)

As I'm sitting here drinking my shake I realize you are right, frothy is the right word!

If you hate oatmeal what about trying oat bran or wheat bran, both are much higher in fiber. I mix 1/2 cup of wheat bran and 1/3 cup of oatbran. Then I mix 1 scoop of protein in it and some udo's oil. yummy

my homemade protein/weightgain/post workout shake- 50g oats, 100g peanut butter, 6 egg whites, 2 scoops of whey and a litre of milk. mmmmmmm, frothy goodness.

I eat a homemade quinoa granola. Has a good nutrition profile and is nice and crunchy like I like it!

It is the texture that I don't like. Oat and wheat bran do the same thing to me :-( It took me forever to find an alternative. Now I am in heaven and don't have to feel guilty for not liking oatmeal.

interesting. I'll try to give it a go, don't know if i'll do it though. i did try the whole raw eggs thing before-the stuff never reached my lips.
