High Fibre Egg White Muffins

I think that egg whites are a really good way to get some extra protein into my daily menu. I often start my day with egg whites or eggs mixed with egg whites as the base for omelets crammed with a variety of healthy veggies... tomatoes, onions, spinach, peppers... you get the picture.

You may have heard that I am giving carb cycling a try these days... and yes, fitting it within my Weight Watchers program quite nicely, for those who are wondering.  These High Fibre Egg White Muffins are great for my low carb/higher fat days.  I love them as an after workout snack or to satisfy that mid afternoon urge to nibble, too.

They are very portable, but require a cooler if you plan to store them for more than an hour or so.

They are really simple, only require a few ingredients... if you don't use the North Coast Naturals Ultimate Daily Cleanse (and why don't you?) then you could try ground flax seeds, or a mixture of ground flax and crushed psyllium husk.

I like them slightly sweetened, but leave out the Stevia if you like... and feel free to slather them with nut butter after they have cooled a bit... or have them with a bit of cheese.  Mmmmmm.

  7. I love the easy approach to a great snack and this looks good. I like Pistachio muffins best and maybe some fruit after a workout. I'm just curious about your muffins, were they fluffy or did they harden?

  8. They look like a great snack. I am obsessed with my Isagenix protein shake after a good workout! It has a great balance of carbs and protein to help me recover quickly!
