If you’re looking for a high-quality, low-calorie protein shake that will help you build muscle and lose weight, look no further than an egg white protein shake. In this article, we are going to share recipes for protein shakes made with liquid egg whites as well as some with egg white protein powder.
But first, let’s answer some common questions about egg white protein shakes.
Are Egg Whites Good in a Protein Shake?
Egg whites are wonderful in a protein shake! Eggs are easy to digest and a wonderful source of protein, making them ideal for smoothies and shakes. Egg whites in particular are low in cholesterol and calories, and they make your shake very smooth.
Another great thing about egg whites in protein shakes is that they don’t affect the flavor of your shake or smoothie. Many ingredients change the flavor, but egg whites will hide well with any flavor combination. If you don’t like the idea of pasteurized egg whites, try an egg white protein powder instead.
Is it OK to Put Raw Eggs in a Protein Shake?
Consuming raw eggs is fine, as long as they are pasteurized to kill salmonella. Chickens naturall have salmonella in their bodies, and it is often found in eggs. Usually the amount is not enough to be harmful, but sometimes eggs can make you sick if they aren’t cooked.
To be on the safe side, choose pasteurized eggs that have been gently heated to kill harmful bacteria. You can safely use a pasteurized egg whole, separate the whites or buy liquid eggs or egg whites in cartons that have been pasteurized.
Is Egg White Protein Good for Weight Loss?
Many of you come to this blog for our great weight loss smoothie recipes, and you might be curious if egg white protein can help you in your weight loss goals. The answer is YES! They are an excellent source of protein, but are also low in calories, fat and cholesterol, so use egg whites as much as you like in your weight loss journey.
Now that we have those questions out of the way, let’s check out some recipes!
Egg White Protein Shakes with Liquid Egg Whites
It’s easy to use a liquid egg white, and most all of us have eggs in the refrigerator at all times. Again, use caution about consuming just any raw egg. You only want to consume those that are pasteuried because of the risk of salmonella.
If you don’t like the idea of separating the eggs yourself, you can buy a container of liquid egg whites that have been pasteurized. You can easily find these in the egg section of your local grocery store, usually on a shelf above the eggs.
