I had seen Egg Whites International advertised in several fitness magazines over the years, but had…read morenever "believed" that they or their claims were real. You know how it is with mail order! You get something other than what you ordered, IF you get it at all. So I was a little leary about ordering a product that I had never tried, especially something as delicate as egg whites. Anyway, my first interaction with them was at the Anaheim Fit Expo in August 2016. They had a booth set up and my friend and I were able to actually talk to them and get more of a feel for their company. They had samples of their egg whites mixed with protein powder and we were able to try them for the first time. I was really impressed with the flavor. It wasn't as "snotty" as I thought it would be...you know, eggs especially the whites have a thick and snotty or slimy texture... Anyway, it was really tasty and creamy. My friend placed an order, but I wasn't ready to, yet.
Fast forward to the Los Angeles Fit Expo this past January... There they were, again! We stopped by and spoke with Mac, who really explained everything in detail. He asked if I wanted to sample a protein shake, again but I told him no, that I was filled to the brim of samples and couldn't put anything else in my belly, or I'd puke! He went on to explain the special expo pricing and gave me all kinds of options. Ultimately, I chose to buy the 2 gallon package and one of their pumps. There were bigger packages, but I didn't want to spend so much the first time around. I wanted to try it out and see the results before I committed to more. I was able to pay cash at the expo, as I was still trying to let the smoke dissipate from my credit card. I placed my order that Sunday and Mac promised that it would be delivered on Monday and it was!!
I received two gigantic tubs that were frozen. I thawed one and kept the other in the fridge. They can be frozen for up to six months or thawed in the fridge for up to three. I bought their own pump for precise measurements. One pump equals 1 ounce, which is 1.25 egg whites, which is 3.25g of protein! It is tasteless and odorless, which is a huge plus for me. It's all natural, so no GMO's, no preservatives, no fat, no cholesterol, equals 120 calories per cup, and only 2g of carbohydrates per cup. Yes, they are pasteurized, salmonella tested, USDA Inspected and Kosher approved. You can cook with them and they even have recipes available online.
The egg whites make a big difference in the taste of a protein shake. Initially, you'd think it would be nasty, but it made my vanilla shake literally taste like cake batter! Definitely worth it!
Because the egg whites need constant refrigeration, they didn't have them at the expo. You just pay first and they are shipped to you. He checked my address and told me that I would receive mine on Tuesday. I couldn't believe that I would get them so fast, but it's true! Monday night, I received an emailed shipment confirmation
