Guest guest Posted January 3, 2006 Report Share Posted January 3, 2006 I had a box (10 #?) that lasted me at least 2 years... and it was still fine, without refrigeration... I used it to the last bit... but it would probably be safer to freeze. -- --- n <mtpaper@...> wrote: --------------------------------- FYI - I just read this in today's paper, and called the # on the whites I use - pasteurized boxed egg whites can be frozen for a year. This is great news for me, since I go thru so much of them - and now my 16 yo dd has started using them in her smoothies (for protein) too. n T.

Guest guest Posted January 3, 2006 Report Share Posted January 3, 2006 n and , Are you using the pasteurized boxed egg whites most often in smoothies or do you like some other recipes? Curious, M. I am reminded of a recipe I haven't used in awhile, but used to enjoy; powdered egg whites, water, powdered cocoa, a few drops of stevia or agave nectar, and an ice cube. Blend using the handheld immersion blender. Serve in a wine goblet and eat with a demitasse spoon. Think chocolate mousse. It helps during my pms chocolate craving days Of course, for a complete meal, I would have a veggie soup or salad with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 3, 2006 Report Share Posted January 3, 2006 Hi M - I used plain (unseasoned) boxed egg whites for: - smoothies - egg/oat pudding (1 cup eggs, 1/3 cut oats, 1/3 cup water, splenda, vanilla, cinnamon etc, nuked for about 2 minutes) - 's muffin recipe - with canned pumpkin for pumpkin pie - scrambled eggs or omelettes (not nearly as often) n T.

Guest guest Posted January 3, 2006 Report Share Posted January 3, 2006 We decided that they are somewhat more expensive, but I love love love being able to use them in smoothies - for myself and my daughters. And they're very convenient. We pay $7.50 for 4 boxes, each of which is 2 cups of egg whites. n T. At 05:19 PM 1/3/2006, you wrote: >I've been looking at eggwhites.

Guest guest Posted January 4, 2006 Report Share Posted January 4, 2006 That's less than a dollar a cup...I payed $12.50 for 3 cups at Albertsons. Hey, I need to shop around! Where do you get yours, n? They are very convenient to camp with as well. Thanks, M. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 4, 2006 Report Share Posted January 4, 2006 My husband does the grocery shopping, and price-comparisons extensively. I don't know where he gets them - probably BJ's. n T.

Guest guest Posted January 4, 2006 Report Share Posted January 4, 2006 I bought mine here: http://www.incredibody.com/proteinpowder.html It's $66.95 for a 10# box of boxed eggwhites (this price includes shipping). Lasts me forever! I mix it in the blender with frozen fruit, a small amount of water, powdered stevia, a touch of ground ginger and cinnamon, and 1/4 Cup of coconut milk (I follow a more 40/30/30 zone ratio of macronutrients). Very pleased with their service too. -- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 4, 2006 Report Share Posted January 4, 2006 Matesz's book, " The garden of Eating " has a LOT of yummy recipes for smoothies using powdered eggwhites. My favorite frozen fruits to add are the frozen mango chunks and the frozen dark sweet cherries... very yummy! She also has additional protein based drinks using the egg white powder... like her mocha frosty... mmmmm.... very tasty! She also has something called protein coconut spread, which you make and pour over fresh fruit for a protein/carb portion. And a spread you mix with nut butter and powdered egg whites and stuff, and you can spread on apples or bananas for a protein spread. I don't get a discount from her about her book, it's just a very good healthy eating book, emphasizing lean meats, veggies, and fruit based diet (no grains, dairy, etc). Lots of awesome ideas for how we eat, a more " lean out " versus " swell up " type of recipes. She does have sample recipes here: http://www.thegardenofeatingdiet.com/TheBook.asp -- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted January 4, 2006 Report Share Posted January 4, 2006 I just realized that we may not be talking about the same thing. I use boxed liquid egg whites (unseasoned). Some folks seem to be talking about powdered egg whites. n T. > >That's less than a dollar a cup...I payed $12.50 for 3 cups at > >Albertsons. Hey, I need to shop around!

Guest guest Posted January 4, 2006 Report Share Posted January 4, 2006 Ahh... my eggwhites are the powdered/dried kind (that are @ $60 for 10 pounds) that come in a box... I didn't know that liquid eggwhites also come in a box. Also, i've never tried the liquid egg whites. --- --- n <mtpaper@...> wrote: --------------------------------- I just realized that we may not be talking about the same thing.

Guest guest Posted January 4, 2006 Report Share Posted January 4, 2006 I've gotten mine at Costco - they come in a 1 pint six-pack (so 6 cartons total), for about $10, if I can remember the price correctly. Maybe even $9. They are the Kirkland (Costco) brand and are " eggbeaters " rip-offs, so they have the yellow coloring and some mild spices like salt. I would not use these for sweet baking for that reason. The " spices " in the ingredients list are VERY mild, so I think it would be OK for smoothies. I just keep them unopened in the fridge and use them one by one for omelets, etc. http://tenacity.net > > My husband does the grocery shopping, and price-comparisons extensively.

Guest guest Posted January 7, 2006 Report Share Posted January 7, 2006 I buy mine at Costco and they are Costco Brand. A case of six boxes (16oz each box) cost $6.45. I eat them every morning and use them in baking. I love them. dj Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
