RE: Today's lunch, a green smoothie, is my week One entry in the Six Week Health health Challenge!
That sounds wonderful. I'm a big lover of smoothies but have never thought to put egg whites in them. What a great alternative to the yucky protein powder that I usually use.
Trying to get back on my health track here. Reading posts like yours are very inspirational!
Egg whites are actually very smart to put in for proteins and it doesn't taste anything so makes a neutral addition to the smoothies. The only problem I end up with is what I'm going to do with the yolk :) I am working on getting back into my healthy track as well, so suddenly there might be another post about a healthy choice. :)
I was going to suggest making custard out of the yolks but I guess that wouldn't be in line with healthy choices, ha ha. I don't like wasting either so would also have to find something to use the egg yolk for. I did once read of an idea to put it in oatmeal or porridge to give it a nutritional boost. It seems like it would be good, adding a nice creamy texture. Kids can always use those extra calories :)
hahaha, great tip.. Bearnais Sauce or Holandaise is also a good way for using the yalks, but same as with the custard... One of my son only eat the yalk so I should give them to him:)
