Egg white burrito
- 3 egg whites
- baked and chopped chicken breast, 3oz
- few pieces of green beans
- lettuce
- cilantro to garnish
In a nonstick egg pan, fry with only spray oil the three egg whites to make a round flat wrap for the filling. Toss in there the chicken, green beans, lettuce, and cilantro. I didn't say that this was as great as a regular burrito but if you are in contest prep this is a fun way to eat the same ingredients. :)

Egg White Drop Soup
This is my mother's take on the classic chinese egg drop soup.
- 3 egg whites
- 1 liter water
- 1 or 2 bullion cube like herb or chicken flavor
- cilantro
- lettuce
- cup of chopped green beans or asparagus
- 1 cup of finely chopped chicken breast
- 1/4 cup chopped green onion
- (optional) chinese fried shallots for garnish (you can buy this at the asian store)
Boil water and throw in buillion cube, green onion, chicken , veggies. Once water starts to boil, slowly stir in the egg whites and they will cook in the water and like white strings in the pot. To serve, garnish with cilantro, lettuce, and fried shallots. The shallots give this warm flavor to the soup so it's not neccessary to use much.

Banana Protein Pancakes
- 1 cup oatmeal
- 7 egg whites
- 2 big scoops of protein powder (I use vanilla or gingerbread cookie flavor)
- 1 tablespoon of vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 banana
- 1 teaspoon baking powder (optional)
- artifical sweetner to taste (I used 5 spenda packets)
Throw everything in a blender and puree it. Heat up the pan at medium heat and make your pancakes in a nonstick pan with spray oil (not necessary though). This makes enough for two people. You can eat this plain or with some applesauce instead of syrup.

Salmon spinach salad
- 6 oz filet of salmon

Steam (8 min) or bake (180c or 350f for 25 min) the salmon. For the salad dressing, mix lemon juice, italian seasoning, and garlic powder together.
Create the spinach salad with cucumbers, tomatoes, mixed nuts. Top with the salmon and your lemon juice dressing.
