Strawberry Lime Watermelon Smoothie
I’m not sure why I’m even bothering typing out the recipe since I named 3 out of the 4 ingredients in this smoothie! But the fourth, unnamed ingredient is key. However, I don’t think listing it in the title would sound nearly appealing: Strawberry lime watermelon egg white smoothie!
But stay with me. Unless they are cooked, egg whites are pretty tasteless. So it’s easy to add a protein source without losing the fruit forward flavour. High fives!
1/2 cup of egg whites will add nearly 15 g of protein to your smoothie!

Is safe giving a baby eggs in this way?
As long as you use pasteurized egg whites than yes, it would be safe. However, the most nutritious part of the egg for a baby is the yolk, which contains important nutrients such as iron, lutein, and zeaxanthen!
We use raw egg whites? Is that safe to eat?
Hi!
I recommend using pasteurized egg whites. You can find these in a carton in the egg section of your grocery store!
