Out of this world High Protein Snack

Ok, I know this may sound a little off the wall but it tastes soooo good.

I make Egg salad using 6 eggs but only 1 1/2 of the yolks it's mostly all egg whites and a little lite mayo just enough to get it to stick then chill in the fridge.( lots of protein not sure how much)

2 Slices of the Oscar Meyer lower sodium turkey bacon and put in the micro for about 1 min of each side so it comes out like a cracker. (4 grams of protein for both slices)

1 Slice of 2% sharp cheddar cheese slice and i break it to 4 slices (4 grams of protein for the 1 slice)

then i put some of the egg salad on the turkey bacon and top with 2 little strips of cheese and eat it that way, believe it or not it is so good, who would have thunk it.

AHHH!! I used to do something similar to this pre-op. I wrapped it all in lettuce. lol! Once I can bring myself to eat egg salad again I'm going to have to try this. (Egg salad was one of the only things I could eat for a while so I'm pretty sick of it.) I bet this tastes good with tuna too!

For some reason eating it on the bacon gives it so much more flavor and a salty crunch than lettuce would, give it a try.

Yeah I used to put the bacon, cheese and salad on the lettuce. I think I'm going to try this with tuna tomorrow! Minus the lettuce!!

OMG I love it! I cannot wait to try this when I am back on solids...Yum!

Thank you so much for this.

Just curious as to why you discard the majority of the egg yolks, which have the flavor in them (and additional protein)?

Lora, i'm just not a big fan of egg yolks and my dogs really look forward to them.

Good to know.  I didn't think that there was any protein in the yolks!

Wow, that sound like a great snack. You have a good idea there, and I'm going to give it a try. Lots of protein!
