Product Description
Honeyville's Dried Egg Whites are produced exclusively from fresh eggs harvested from chickens in the United States. Powdered egg whites have several advantages over fresh eggs. The difficulty in separating the yolk from the clear is eliminated. In recipes that call for egg whites, there is no waste in egg yolks. No more waiting for egg whites to come to room temperature. Eliminating waste and saving time are only a few of the advantage in using our product. The use of only the highest-grade eggs, and the pasteurization process removes any possibility of salmonella contamination. Because powdered egg whites do not need to be refrigerated after opening, they conserve energy and shelf space. If you are searching for ways to reduce fat and cholesterol in dishes traditionally calling for whole eggs, powdered egg whites make a healthy substitute. Each 2.25 pound can of Powdered Egg Whites is the equivalent of 309 Large Fresh Whole Egg Whites.

Love my smoothies!! August 2, 2007

I found this product for use with the Six Week Body Makeover, by Michael Thurmond, they guy who whips people into shape on Extreme Makeover. I needed to find a way to get egg whites into my diet without actually having to choke them down! I use these powdered egg whites in lots of recipes on that plan, but mostly for smoothies. 1/2 cup frozen strawberries, 4 tsp powdered egg whites, 1/2 of a small banana, a little water and sweetener (if you like) and blend. Really easy and tastes really good. I cannot even detect the egg white in the taste, which is a huge plus. I am now ordering my second 2.25 pound can! Great stuff!
A protein shake that tastes good April 19, 2007

I have been weight training and trying to eat a higher protein diet. I can no longer bear the sight of turkey, egg-white omelets or cottage cheese. I dislike artificial sweeteners (mostly due to their taste) so I don't care for any pre-made shakes I have tried. I turned to whey protein (bleck...maybe more experimentation will yield something better)and soy protein (bleck redux) but couldn't stand them.
But I like this! I wouldn't eat it plain (it's not THAT good), but the taste is easily coverable with yummy and healthy additives. This morning I made a "shake" that was 1C OJ (Tropicana Grovestand), 1/4C (appx) pure pomegranate juice, 1/4C egg whites (22g protein), 1/4C (appx) plain non-fat yogurt, and one banana. I blended these together with a few ice cubes, and yum! Even my kids love it!
It probably has a lot of naturally occuring sugar from the fruits and yogurt, but I am happy with the content and nutrients, and I can drink it happily without forcing it down!
I have tried the Honeyville dried fruits and been pretty happy with them as well (much better blueberries than for pancakes), so I will look forward to adding these for variety when I can't find good fresh fruit.

These egg whites work great and are economical. I recently started a diet where I can only eat egg whites. It seems such a waste to throw out the yolks, not to mention the mess of separating the eggs. I use these mostly for baking and to add protein when cooking other foods. Adding the powder has saved me a lot of time preparing the diet foods. The powdered egg whites do have an "eggy" odor and have a slight aftertaste which is easily overcome by adding vanilla or other extracts when making protein shakes or other sweets.
 Great Product March 10, 2007

I use this product in post workout shakes with whey - tastes fine and mixes well with water; much cheaper than buying liquid egg whites.
Good product. January 10, 2007

I use this as an inexpensive alternative to GNC protein powders. It is completely natural and almost 100% protein. Low carb count. Highly bioavailable protein.
When mixed with only water it does have a strange aftertaste. I use powdered Nestles that only has 2 carbs or so and it has definitely improved the taste and removed any aftertaste.
Do not use a shaker bottle with this. Shaking the egg whites will cause them to foam, ( since they want to increase in volume). Use a whisk or fork.
I have used this product for baking power-type bars and it has worked flawlessly. I am confident that it would work with other dishes. However, I am not sure if I would use it for meringues. I haven't tested it, but it does seem to increase in volume rather quickly. Maybe it could be used as a last resort for fresh egg whites.
