kicksave Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 I know we aren't supposed to drink real food in the form of liquid, but after a tough workout my body just refuses to eat anything solid. Is there any way to get protein from real food but not have to eat a chicken breast or piece of fish after a workout? I've already done a Whole30 and know that dairy is not an option. Maybe some kind of sweet potato/(cooked?) egg puree? Suggestions are appreciated for a liquid/puree option for PWO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derval Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 I think there is someone here who does a smoothie of sweet potato egg whites etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kicksave Posted July 21, 2012 Author Share Posted July 21, 2012 How does that work exactly? I'm assuming you cook the egg whites before blending them with sweet potato puree? Or is it raw egg white? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robin Strathdee Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 Kicksave - I'm not sure which the smoothie maker does, but my policy at home is that raw should be fine if you get your eggs from a farmer you trust. Otherwise, I might be a little more cautious... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Megan Claydon Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 When we get pastured eggs I will use them raw. If not, I don't see why you can't blitz a hb egg with some sweet potatoe. Pretty sure the sweet potato flavor would overpower the egg anyway. Add enough water to get the right consistency. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carol Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 I have used quality raw eggs in smoothies for quite awhile. This is what I do, for anyone interested: Break a single egg on a flat plate, and observe it. The yolk should be round, firm, and high. The white should be firm, high, and have two distinct "levels' to it. The egg should have no imperfections of any kind. I take a better-safe-than-sorry attitude. If I have any doubt, or if the yolk gets broken in the process, I set the egg aside, scramble it, put the scrambled egg in a ziploc baggie or tupperware container and return it immediately to the fridge. I'll use the scrambled egg I cook dinner that evening or for breakfast the next day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aberrantatavia Posted July 28, 2012 Share Posted July 28, 2012 Also, before you even open the egg, you can put it in a bowl of water. Fresh eggs will lay down, eggs that need to be used soon stand up and bad eggs float. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InkblotJo Posted July 29, 2012 Share Posted July 29, 2012 When I did my Whole 30, I drank raw egg whites post-wod... I admit it's not the safest approach, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
