Egg Pucks: The Healthy Snack

So many times I need a healthy, protein rich snack that is portable, can be eaten hot or cold and will actually fill me up. Introduce what we like to call EGG PUCKS, which are nothing more than little egg white muffins. The beauty of these treats is that they are super easy to make, can be eaten for breakfast, lunch or even dinner and paired with virtually any food for a balanced snack.

Simply take a dozen egg whites (with a few yolks) and pour into a blender. Add spinach, tomatoes or any other veggie of your choice and blend. Pour the mixture evenly into a muffin tray and bake for 30 minutes on 300 degrees. Experiment with ingredients and how you whip them to make a fluffy, healthy treat.

Egg whites pack 6 grams of protein per egg and are incredibly low in calories and naturally fat free. They are a good choice for those who are watching calories but still need a good amount of protein.

Enjoy!

  1. Do you buy whole eggs and then separate the whites and yolks on your own? or do you buy the egg whites in a box? and are there any healthy eggs whites in a box for the extremely lazy person? :)

    thanks! love this blog.

  2. Hi, Katie! We actually do buy whole eggs and separate them, but for a lot of people that's too time consuming and expensive. So, you can actually buy the egg whites in a container - they sell them at most stores in the egg section. It doesn't really matter about the brand! Other people use Egg Beaters as well, though I think they taste artificial. Do whatever is the easiest for you! Thanks for the compliments on the blog!!
