NOW Foods Sports Nutrition, Egg White Protein, 20 g With BCAAs, Creamy Chocolate Powder, 1.5-Pound

I typically use one serving (one serving is 1/4 cup of this particular egg white protein powder) with a high fiber hemp protein powder, spirulina powder, chlorella powder, matcha green tea powder, frozen pineapple, frozen pomegranate arils, frozen triple berry blend, MCT oil, and two & a half cups of water. It keeps me full from about 7 a.m. until about 1 or 2 p.m. I have lost about seven lbs having this smoothie every morning, in conjunction with a pretty clean diet that is light on the carbs. While I have been switching it up with whey protein powder, hemp protein powder, and a plant-based protein powder to see what suits my body and lifestyle best, I find I reach for this egg white protein powder mixed with hemp protein powder in my smoothies more often than I reach for the other protein powders I have.When using an actual blender to mix it, it isn't gritty whatsoever; the consistency is very smooth (pretty much undetectable); it dissolves completely without leaving any clumps. I can't really comment on the taste of the powder by itself or mixed with just water & cooked as an egg substitute, however I can say I really do love the flavor of my morning smoothie with this in it & I actually look forward to it. When using a different brand of egg white protein powder blended with my usual frozen fruits & everything I would babysit it... it would take me about an hour to force it down. With all that being said, I will absolutely be repurchasing. I am consistently delivered a quality product and I love that the five lb tub keeps me from having to reorder every month... I wish I could add a sixth star for the pure convenience of this brand offering such a large tub of it!A really awesome way to add a complete protein to your morning smoothie... love that it's significantly lower in calories that many other types of protein powders, and I don't have to worry about my smoothies having too many carbohydrates in them.

Why did you pick this product vs others?:I love this product cause of the taste and protein and the fact that I could afford to buy it but it’s almost double in price and I can’t afford it now??? Hopefully it will drop back to its original price. Have purchased it 3 times, hopefully will again in the future??Ingredients:I

great bulk protein powder, gf, df, and vegetarian. Perfect for my morning protein smoothies/chai's. Has a bit of a eggy smell and taste, but its expected because thats literally what it is, and can be covered up with most other ingredients I put in with it. Keeps my energy levels up for at least 4 hours before I need to eat again. I'd recommend, the protein content is worth it. Though the price is expensive-ish, I've still bought it three times now--this last time was cheaper because of a discount--love that!

You open the can, excited to try out E G G W H I T E protein. It has incredible properties - more bioavailable than whey, tons of good amino acids, and better than any plant protein for stimulating muscle protein synthesis. The first thing you experience is the smell. The stench of old eggs wafts up from the tin. The powder is fine and dusty - as you disturb the jug, a small cloud escapes into the air."I have a strong stomach and a resilient taste. I can do this," you whisper to yourself, not entirely sure. The macros on the label are pretty compelling - only 1g of carbs for 16g of protein - that's unheard of. You pour the recommended amounts into your shaker bottle, and shake. The mixture immediately forms a foam that refuses to settle out. It's been Activated, and it hungers for blood.You try to take a sip. The foam is overwhelming. The scent of bad eggs is replaced by the taste of bad eggs. "Maybe if I get to the liquid under the foam, it will be better," you hope. The bottle goes up, and up, and up, and finally you feel the liquid enter your mouth. Your tongue recoils in horror - the taste is far worse than the smell. The cup goes down. "Maybe I can mix this with something?" you think with a tone of despair. No. You cannot mix this with something. Nothing tames the foam, and the underlying rotten egg flavor dominates all attempts to cover it up.Resignation fills your head. You start googling "Can I compost protein powder?" and "Ethics of donating nasty food."

The average egg white has 4 grams of protein, 1 serving of this is equivalent to 4 egg whites...Let us do some math...113 servings , each serving is equivalent to 4 egg whites, so that is 113 x 4 = 452.You get 452 egg-whites in this tub. You would need over 37 dozen cartons of eggs to match the amount of egg-white protein you get in this tub. That is an amazing value.Yes, it is hard to mix, yes it does clump, but that can be avoided by using a good blender cup that has either a mixing ball or an agitator ( that is what they call those plastic things that spin around as you shake).Let the powder sit for a bit, the warmer the water, the better the mixing but dont use heated water, plain tap is fine. As it sits, it starts to dissolve and after shaking for a minute, it becomes a nice, smooth consistency in the shaker cup.I myself mix one serving of this with half a serving of whey and a tablespoon of cocoa powder. After I mix it, I put it in the fridge for a bit and it tastes delicious. Smooth and thick like chocolate milk. THE COLDER THE BETTER.I drink this concoction post workout since whey + another source of slower digesting protein is superior to whey by itself. This is really cheap and better than those expensive blends.I have tried to blend this and it foams up and is horrible. Do not use a blender for this. I warn you now. It may work with a thick base like yogurt, but with plain water, it foamed horrible and I had to toss the contents of my blender out.The taste is really neutral. it does smell kind of weird, but not bad, and after mixing with something chocolately, I cant tell.I hope my review is helpful.
