A scoop of the protein is just over 30 grams (12 ounces) and contains 24 grams of protein, along with calcium and riboflavin. There are only 110 calories as well, as this is as lean of a protein as you’re likely to find. In fact, the product only contains egg (albumin) protein, natural cocoa powder, stevia (a natural herbal sweetener) and a few ingredients such as Xanthan and Lechitin to preserve freshness. Designed to be blended with a drink, the protein mix doesn’t dissolve easily with a standard spoon, so you’ll likely need to use a blender to get real results. We mixed it in with a milk-based smoothie, but found the taste to be less than great, so I had to add some fresh fruit and chocolate syrup to get it where I wanted it to be. On the other hand, many of the whey protein mixes contain sucralose artificial sweetener, so it’s not surprising that the Egg White protein (which only contains stevia) would require some additional ingredients to make it taste great.

One of the downsides is that you have to make it in a kitchen, and can’t really take it with you like you can with other pre-made drinks such as Muscle Milk. I found myself making one before my workouts (and after, when I could), but the convenience factor really plays a role (along with taste.) So, while the product is good from a muscle building point of view, it can be difficult on the go – I did try the Jay Robb Protein Bars as a supplement (made with agave and protein), and they held me over nicely post-workout. For those with food allergies (especially to whey) this is one of the top Egg White products on the market, so give it a shot.
