Egg whites in your protein shake!

[RADAR]

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

Another little tip, add in some powdered milk and you raised the protein count even more.

I Used to do that with Egg whites-until i found my true love (Muscle Milk)

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!

when I was really paying attention to my macros, my PWO shake used to be where i tried to balance things out. I could never taste the egg, thankfully lol.

ditto. I love when I need more carbs In goes a banana - or at least half. Bad, bad, bad.

How much sugar does powdered milk have? I think I have some at home - I'll give it a look. I bet it makes the texture superb. It is all about the texture!

I think powdered milk has the standard 12 grams of sugar per cup. It's lactose, but tose nonetheless!

My first meal everyday is similar to this recipe. For about the last year breakfast has been 16oz distilled water, 1 cup rolled oats (uncooked), 2/3rd cup of unflavored whey concentrate or powered egg whites, and one teaspoon stevia. Supplies about 45 grams of very high quality protein, 300 calories of low GI carbs, and essentially no sugar. I blend it on high for about 30 seconds and it comes out great.

I do this sometimes too cause it makes a frothy shake.

I was curious to see how this was. So I just went and picked up some egg whites.
1/4C egg whites
1C water
40g vanilla whey
1oz agave nectar
1T ground flax seed
1T wheat germ
5g glutamine
5g creatine
2T instant dry milk
blended for 30 sec and drank up

This was actually really good!!
This was my post w/o shake.

A quick snack cake for me is.

3 eggs hand whipped, stir in some oatmeal and fruit like frozen berries
throw it in a big bowel that has been sprayed with pam , nuke it in the micro wave intill it rises and looks cooked,
dump it out and whola la, dont know what the hell to call it but it taste pretty good and is quick and eazy
plus its soild so it feels you up more then a shake.
plus you can cook them throw um in a zip lock bag carry them around with you and munch on them when traveling or out and about

I'll try this....

I'm no domestic goddess though - how much oatmeal? Are we talking about 1 minute in the micro or longer?
