What do you do with all of your left over egg whites? I used to feed them to my dog but now that I’ve moved out of home I don’t have a dog so I just chuck them away- feels like a waste though. I tried just adding them to my scrambled eggs but extra whites make luscious, yolky scrambled eggs taste so bland.
I just cook them in butter. They can form into a tortilla in a way or a base for hamburger and pizza toppings or something! I’ll have to write a post on PrimalToad.com or PrimalSmoothies.com about what I do with the egg whites. I usually throw them in a container and make them a day or 2 down the road.
Really? What a waste. You cook them…like any normal person would. Haven’t you ever heard of a fried egg?
610 calories? In one smoothie? My mind is reeling. That’s half my daily calorie allowance!
You’re only “allowed” 1200 calories? That is not enough to function properly…
Yeah, if you’re short, female, trying to lose weight, and don’t have many ways to get a lot of physical activity in, 1200-1500 calories is the target range. I had the same shock as fit@fifty over the calorie content. A smoothie above 400 calories is unfortunately a no-go for me, although this sounds delicious!
Sure thing. You can always cut any recipe in half, quarter or even more! Or just eat your fair share and then save for later. Whatever floats your boat
You’d be surprised once I left calories behind and focused on *what* I was eating and not how many calories, pounds flew off!
I’m personally not surprised but most folks would be
I, too, get aggravated (and highly frustrated) at the “one-size-fits-all” eating plans that say to forget calories. I have tried everything (yes, strict paleo, too) and nothing takes weight off. I wish people would be more caring about those of us who don’t lose weight no matter what we do.
I think, for this recipe, I would cut the number of egg yolks and use 1/2 the banana with the same amount of coconut milk. That would cut the calories.
Does anyone have issues with eating raw eggs? I’ve never tried it before and I must admit it makes me a little squeamish.
I don’t add whole raw eggs to my smoothies anymore but I have no problem adding the yolks. Yum!
What brand of coconut milk do you use? or where do you get coconut if you make homemade? Thanks
I typical have to settle with Thai Kitchen but Nature Forest is better since the can is BPA free. Take a look at the ingredients and if it’s coconut meat, water, and guar gum then you are good to go (it’s better without guar gum but only a brand or 2 doesn’t have guar gum and I do not remember what brands these are). Always buy full fat. If you want lite then just add more water.
Just a question. Why not use the egg white too?
A lot of people can’t deal with the yuck factor that comes with raw egg whites including myself. And the whites are harder to digest than the yolks, especially raw.
Thanks!
