Powderless Protein Shake

This shake is great. I like the consistency as opposed to my powdered shake. Great change of pace. Thanks G.

Because raw egg whites have a lower bioavailability then cooked.
However, egg beaters and store bought egg whites are pasteurized which helps the protein bind and become readily bio available..
or it could be the whole salmonela thing.

FYI you can pasteurize your own egg whites at home as well, it takes a big of work and isn't really cost effective unless you have a couple egg laying chickens hanging around

Remember, I'm not talking about using raw egg whites, I would never eat em' for all the reasons you mentioned. Egg whites in the carton have been pasteurized. I've researched quite a bit and as far as I can tell, the pasteurization process heats the egg whites up enough to kill the Avidin which is what binds up some of the protein making it less available in raw eggs.

Glad you liked it Jimmy! Did you use the sugar free chocolate syrup, or something else? I have a few squirts left, then i'll start playing with cacao powder.

Meh, I broke down and bought some more. Tried the cacao powder but without a blender, it just doesn't mix well with shaking... chunky unsweetened cacao powder is vile, lol

yeah you need an emulsifier like lechithin to make cocao powder work in a liquid like that. The SF syrup is so easy. I love that I can chug this down and it dosnt make me feel bloated.

Same here. I was just doing my best to stay away from sugar alcohols... trying to keep my cut very 'clean' this time around.
