Helpful hints

• Protein powder can be increased to 2 scoops for a higher protein smoothie.
• Omit protein powder for a low protein smoothie (3 grams per serving).
• Pasteurized egg whites are recommended to avoid the risk of salmonella. Look for refrigerated egg whites in a carton in the dairy section, or dried egg whites in the baking section at your local grocery store.

Taste delicious and acceptable to me. the mix of egg white blended with the strawberry reduce the obvious taste of the protein powder. It is refreshing and good with our florida climate.
