I love that green juices and smoothies have become as popular as they are! They’re such an awesome way to pack nutrition into your diet without having to actually eat a pile of greens. This green juice recipe was formulated by the folks over at AllWhites Egg Whites, and when I saw it I knew it would be awesome for a refreshing post-workout drink.
I drank this after my cycling workout today and I really loved the flavor! I’ve never actually tried cucumber or basil in a juice or smoothie before, but I definitely will now! And then the secret ingredient in this drink that adds a lean source of protein is the AllWhites Egg Whites! In case you’re unfamiliar with the product, let me tell you a little bit about them. They are 100% liquid egg whites that you can find in a convenient little carton in the refrigerated dairy section of your grocery store. They are naturally fat-free and cholesterol free, and they can be a great substitute in any recipe that calls for egg. And they’re safe to eat raw in a drink like this (actually safer than traditional eggs) because they are pasteurized!
Here’s the awesome recipe:
- 1 cup chopped kale or baby spinach leaves (I used baby spinach)
- 1 cup cucumber chunks
- 1 medium kiwifruit, peeled, chopped
- 1/2 cup AllWhites® Egg Whites
- 1/4 cup packed fresh mint or basil leaves (I used basil)
- 1/2 cup ice cubes
- 1/2 cup orange juice
- Blend ingredients together in a blender on medium speed until smooth.
- Serve immediately and enjoy!
Many of you probably know that I’m a vegetarian and that when I do consume animal products like dairy or eggs, I want to know that they’re coming from a good source. So I love that the hens used for these products are not raised with any added hormones and that the company follows the United Egg Producers Animal Husbandry Guidelines to raise safe and healthy hens! So be sure to check out AllWhites the next time you’re in the grocery store. I even have a coupon to share with you!
