Egg Whites are my friend

Egg Whites are becoming a new favorite of mine. They hold 40 different proteins and contain no cholesterol or fat. There are only 32 calories in 2 Egg Whites! They are very bland on their own, but when added to salad or mixed with something else with flavoring, they pick up that flavor easily.

Pump...Me Up

Yesterday (April Fool's!) I had a power sandwich:

• Whole wheat wrap


• 12-hour cooked Turkey


• Steamed baby spinach


• Swiss Cheese


• Lettuce

I was trying a out a new place that just opened--they did a good job handling the flow of customers since it was packed with people wanting to try something new. They also had a phone on the way up to the register with which patrons could call in a drink order for one of their healthy smoothies while waiting on line. I can't deny a smoothie, so I tried the Strawberry-Banana, made with skim milk, ice, Only 8, and fresh fruits. It was a little bland but decent for being so health conscious.

Today, I am enjoying a salad from one of those "make-your-own" places that have sprung up EVERYWHERE. I am not usually a salad person, but these are great! Today's salad contains:

• Baby Spinach (fresh, uncooked)


• Smoked Turkey


• Egg Whites


• Portobello Mushrooms


• Feta Cheese


• Sesame Noodles (for a nice crunch!)


• Cucumbers


• Low fat/low cal Caesar dressing

Amazingly delicious, and all of the ingredients are fresh and work well together! :)
