These are just some I could think up off the top of my head. Remember to always get creative in the kitchen and try whipping up something that’s uniquely yours! Egg whites are an essential part of many recipes due to their ability to provide structure, texture, flavour and to act as a leveling agent for many baked dishes, especially some of my favorite desserts. Although there’s a lot of debate on whether egg yolks are bad and there’s tangible evidence that in moderation, they’re not. If you’re on a medically restrictive diet and want to double down on them anyway without having to give up eggs as a whole, egg whites are a great replacement. They are also a great source of protein and would help build muscle in that regard as well as are low in calories so if you’re trying to avoid those, egg whites would be great for you still. Just think up something you feel would taste good and try it out. You never know if you’d be creating the next viral egg white recipe!
