*read about how eating foods like these have helped me lost weight, inches, and fat HERE
or see my healthy 7-day meal plan HERE.
It’s obvious that egg whites are super-healthy and an awesome source of protein. Egg whites alone don’t taste very good for me, so I have found a few recipes that I love. I eat the first recipe almost every single day. They are easy to make and I always have all the ingredients on hand. Both of these recipes taste ‘egg’cellent and keep me feeling very satisfied! My kids love them as we’ll which is great because they’re so healthy!
Southwestern Egg Whites
(nutrition facts are based on the brands used above)
302.9 Calories, 32.5g Carbs, 20.5g Protein, 6.9g Fat
Ingredients:
2 egg whites
2 whole eggs
2T black beans, rinsed
2T salsa
1T mozzarella cheese
1 slice whole wheat bread
Combine egg whites and egg in bowl and whisk. Pour into lightly greased and warm pan. Scramble eggs and move to the side of the pan. In the same pan add black beans and salsa. Cook these while mixing them together, then once warm, mix into the eggs until well-blended. Add the cheese on top and let melt.
Serve over toasted bread (no butter).
*This recipe also tastes awesome in a whole wheat wrap instead of on toast.

Just tried the southwestern egg whites this morning and they were so good! Thanks for sharing!
This is just what I needed! I have been hitting the gym 5-6 days a week for the last 30 days and I needed some more ideas in the food department! Made your eggs this morning and bought some great protein bars! I look forward to your post with meals! This has been great, so thank you!!
