NOW Foods Sports Nutrition, Egg White Protein, 16 g With BCAAs, Unflavored Powder, 1.2-Pound

Thank you NOW! For years, I have been trying to find a suitable protein powder. For various reasons, I have been fairly picky over the years, and had given up on supplementing my diet with protein powders. I have adverse reactions to whey protein powders, which give me body aches and a general feeling of uneasiness. I don't have the same reaction with protein bars, etc. but the issue persisted with different whey protein powders. I also avoid sugar and most sugar substitutes. Years passed and different protein powders have collected in my kitchen: pea protein, rice protein, etc. These other types were extremely unpalatable and grainy. I am pregnant now, and in recent weeks, have become concerned about my low protein consumption. At the same time, the doctor suggested reducing my carb intake. I began to really dislike handling meat, especially when it is raw. And I didn't like the idea of consuming so much meat fat and meat generally. And then I read that about protein powders accumulating toxins during their industrial processing, which can be particularly harmful to fetuses. Fortunately, I read a blog that suggested that this product might be cleaner than the other protein powders, so I ordered it. I was worried that I would have yet another supplement collecting dust, and just wanted to sample the product. But NOW had a 38% of special the day that I ordered the 1.2 lb container! Some of the other reviews suggested that the powder did not blend well in smoothies, and had a bad taste. To the contrary, I was super excited when my smoothie blended perfectly with a regular stick blender. And the egg taste was mild, if not imperceptible. For now, I am blending a scoop or so of the powder with frozen berries, cucumber (skinless if using an English cucumber), blend of whatever nuts I feel up to that day (peanut butter, almond butter, cashew, sunflower seeds), yogurt (if I feel up to it), cocoa powder, ... Now that I can start having smoothies, I might start adding some super food ingredients like hemp/chia seeds, etc., greens powders (post-pregnancy), stevia/monk fruit. For now, I am enjoying my simple sugar free but protein packed smoothies. Super happy and super relieved that I can include more protein in my diet and have delicious smoothies on a regular basis. Fingers crossed that this powder is as clean as my hope and expectations! Going to super size to the 5 lb containers. Thank you NOW!

I absolutely love using this product. It helped me lose a chunk of weight. I add a few ingredients to make it a full meal replacement. It blends easily, but you will need a blender or whisk. Egg protein does not blend well by just shaking. Sometimes I use smoothies made with it for convenience when I don't feel like cooking.

Before I started Now Eggwhites, I was using a non-GMO soy powder and I loved it. It made my smoothies taste like milkshakes. I like it BETTER than smoothies. I used: A frozen topical fruit blend A frozen combination berry and cherry Baby greens (spinach, kale, and chard) Blackberry juice (has blackberry, apple, and white grape juice). It's 100% juice, no sugar. (I got all the above ingredients from Trader Joe's) Unflavored soy powder It was wonderful taste-wise and I was doing well on it physically. But then something happened. I told my oldest daughter, who has a degree in Chinese medicine, that I was drinking soy shakes to increase protein levels, she then expressed concern that I would develop a sensitivity to soy. But when she saw the soy container, she saw that it was non-GMO and said that it would probably be okay. However I didn't say a word out loud, but when she said what she said about sensitivities, I remembered something. When she was a teenager (a long time ago), she went for a semester at sea where she took college courses. When asked beforehand if the ship could feed a vegetarian, they said "yes". What did they feed her? Peanut butter sandwiches every day! And guess what is she allergic to since then? Peanuts and wheat. With that in mind, I have been testing protein powders to cut how much soy I'm getting. Not to cut it out completely, but just not overdo it. Several, like pea protein, have too much flavor of their own. In the end, I'm glad I've discovered egg white protein. First of all, I have to say that this product is WONDERFUL in the "shakes" I make, no odd flavor. Haven't had any trouble with foam like some other people have experienced either. Update 2-21-15: I have left the soy protein powder behind and now only use hemp in a smoothie in the morning and egg whites in the afternoon for a banana cherry shake. The egg whites are now added to a combination of frozen bananas, frozen cherries, water, MCT oil, and 1/4 cup egg whites powder. I've tried this combination without the egg whites. Mistake! I thought it tasted horrible without the egg whites.

Pros: unflavored, low calorie, high protein per serving, can use in drinks, oatmeal, cottage cheese, yogurt, mashed potatoes I suppose. Anything white . Cons: does not mix well, leaves a foam head on surface of beverage if using a shaker bottle, a teeny bit of coating the throat. Pic is coffee, egg powder, sugar in a 10 oz glass bottle after 10 minutes resting from being hand shaken.

THE REVIEW: I was pleasantly surprised by this product. I dislike the taste of whey and other protein powders and decided to try egg white protein. This product is 100% dehydrated egg whites that have been pasteurized and fortified. Right out of the container they have a slight salty taste, but when I add it to my shake mixtures I do not taste the salt. Also, you can cook with the egg white powder as well. The package says to use 2 tablespoons of egg white protein powder and 6 tablespoons of water for a substitute for two eggs in a recipe. TIPS: One very important tip: You must use a wand type mixer or a bullet type mixer or blender to dissolve the eggs. USE ROOM TEMPERATURE WATER when you do this. Also, store your container in the fridge after opening. A FEW RECIPES TO GET YOU STARTED WITH THIS PRODUCT: Scrambled Eggs: Makes two eggs. Mix 2 tablespoons of egg protein powder with 6 tablespoon of room temperature water. Dissolve well with a wand mixer (such as a Handy Blender) or in a bullet type mixer cup. Cook just like you would scramble eggs making sure you are using cooking spray and a nonstick skillet. This product congeals beautifully and the flavor is yummy! Basic Protein Shake: In a blender or in a bullet type mixer cup place 1/4 cup egg white protein powder (approximately 4 tablespoons), 12 ounces of almond or rice milk, 1/2 banana, 1/2 cup ice, sweetener of choice to desired taste (such as stevia, honey, etc.). Feel free to add flax seed, oatmeal or any other add-ons of your choice to the basic recipe. Blend until well incorporated and serve. Makes one serving. Tip - blend all ingredients together before adding ice. This is not necessary, but I have found the texture to be smoother. For weight loss or post workout recovery - Add the powder of one BCAA capsule into the mixture before blending. Makes you feel uber satsified if you are using for a weight loss meal replacement, and quickly refuels the body post workout in a tasty way. Enjoy!

I will never buy this expensive protein powder again. It sticks to anything it comes into contact with, including the blender, and turns to concrete, foams up to the point of waste, doesn't mix well, and tastes bad. Not worth the money.

I love this product. I add to smoothies, yogurt, oatmeal, and other mid-afternoon and morning meals to boost my protein. I appreciate the price break I get from buying this size container, and it fits in my cupboards well. It stays fresh for as long as it take me to go through this, and I favorite part about it is that it's just one ingredient: egg whites. I don't care for other powder additives and I think this is perfect for my needs. The protein comes from a reliable source and is high enough for my needs, and I feel it does not taste "too eggy" like others have complained about with other egg white powders. I have no trouble digesting this and enjoy the extra boost!

Smooth with very little to no flavor. I've been using this protein powder for years and now Amazon finally has it... yaeh :) I absolutely hate the protein powders that leave a gritty texture to my morning smoothie. Previously I used a soy powder that wasn't gritty but didn't like using soy since I try to avoid it when reasonable. I generally stock around 20 of these because a couple of times it was hard to find in stock to order (that was before I found it on Amazon so time will tell if that continues). Over all we have consumed over 300 of these (estimating low). We had a few that did have a bit of a bad egg smell but the product it self was fine. I believe it had to do with the humidity level but I'm not sure. Also we have never had it smell after blending. At any rate we haven't had any like that for over a year. Of course it's possible that we have just been lucky with recent orders. I don't think it is a batching issue because that few that did smell were mixed in with some that didn't from the same batch. We use a lot because we use a bit more than a severing and in our house we make at least two a day 360+ days a year (it's rare my daughter and I don't have one for breakfast). What do I mix in my 32 oz smoothie? This is a general guide that I use and sometimes change it up. 4 oz apple sider 8 oz homemade goat yogurt scoop of eggwhite protein 1 stock celery 1/4 tsp greens powder (depending on type of greens) 1 banana bit of honey bit of olive oil top off the 32 oz with whatever frozen berries I feel like that day So I have to add that even my wife who is insanely picky about texture has used it and likes it. Hope this helps someone

Great product, have had no problems, works every time.

普通に混ぜたら、水に溶けませんが、 ハンドミキサーを使えば、すぐに溶けます。 美味しくは無いですが、活力の基になります。

Todos los ingredientes son saludables. Es exacto lo que anuncian.

Es muy buena proteína. Ya llevo 1 mes tomándola. Te quita el hambre de inmediato cosa que no hace la de suero de leche o vegns(y vaya que he probado muuuuchas). El único PERO es el sabor. Es sin sabor pero aún con fruta o leche tiene ese sabor a y olor y huevo. Si le pones leche y vainilla con azúcar sabe a jericalla. :s de ahí en más es un buen producto, sin rellenos y tiene BCAAS.

good product for making Keto Breads & Cakes . Best price point in Australia & the jars are reusable .
