    1. Blend egg whites in a blender for 2 minutes.
    2. Add strawberries, pineapple concentrate and protein powder. Blend at medium speed until smooth.

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.

I am a dietitian with Davita. I made this for my patients and most of them loved it. I thought it was a bit too sweet, but I used a strawberry flavored protein powder which was sweet on its own.

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.
