Best Tasting Egg White Protein Powder

Does Egg White Protein Powder Taste Good​?

The egg white, also known as the albumen, is the clear liquid that surrounds the yellow yolk of an egg.

It is 90% water and 10% protein.

It follows that when dehydrated, egg whites are the perfect protein shake or powder.

No other whole food contains as much protein by weight.

If they were not relatively expensive, egg whites would be in every protein powder.

Egg whites are not only high in complete protein, but also great tasting.

Unlike most protein powders, egg white protein powders do not have a gritty texture or chalky aftertaste.

Unlike most plant-based proteins, egg whites are not gritty because they do not contain any insoluble fiber, which does not dissolve in water.

Egg whites are not chalky because they are not mechanically and/or chemically stripped of fats, carbs, fiber, etc. like other protein sources.

Whey, for example, must undergo extensive processing before it can be used as a protein shake or powder.

This is why the primary ingredient in whey protein powders is whey protein concentrate or isolate, not whey.

Not all egg white protein powders taste equally great, however.

Some egg white protein powders have an eggy aftertaste because they were made from eggs that sat for days, even weeks before being processed.

As a result, these eggs began to decay and released a chemical called hydrogen sulfide, which has a potent sulfur (eggy) odor.

Some egg white protein powders also have a tendency to foam when hydrated and mixed.

Mixing adds air to the albumen, which causes it to denature (change shape).

These rearranged proteins then bond with each other, creating a network that holds the air bubbles in place.

Although this is not a big deal, not everyone likes a foamy protein shake.

What is the Best Tasting Egg White Protein Powder?

Drink Wholesome makes the best tasting egg white protein powders.

Unlike other egg white protein powders, our Egg White Protein Powders have a neutral aftertaste because the eggs were broken less than twenty-four hours from when they were laid.

If follows that you can add them to smoothies, oatmeal, and other recipes without changing the flavor or consistency.

Moreover, our egg white protein powders do not foam like other egg white protein powders because we add coconut to our formulations.

Coconut is full of healthy fats, which interfere with the formation of foam.

It is worth adding that our Egg White Protein Powders are sweetened monk fruit, a melon-like fruit native to Southeast Asia, which is sweet like sugar.

Other sugar substitutes (sucralose, stevia, etc.) activate bitter taste receptors in addition to sweet taste receptors, which gives them an unpleasant aftertaste (J Neurosci, 2004).

Our Egg White Protein Powders are also flavored with real foods like vanilla beans and cocoa, not artificial or ‘natural’ flavors, which tend to taste like chemicals.

Order Samples to taste the difference.
