Description
This healthy bread loaf alternative contains only 3 ingredients and is essentially pure protein, being practically carb and fat free. The base relies on liquid egg whites, which are whipped to provide air and structure, similar to an angel food cake. Then protein powder is folded in to provide additional structure and protein, as well as a midly sweet flavor. You can have the entire bread prepared in less time than it takes to heat up the oven!

Ingredients
Serving(s)
- 1 1/2 cup Egg whites
- 2 scoop Whey protein powder, vanilla
- 1 tsp Lemon juice
Instructions
Cook Mode Off: Prevents screen dimming
- Preheat your oven to 350F. Line a 9x5" bread pan with parchment paper, and lightly grease the paper
- In a large glass or metal bowl, whip your egg whites on high speed with a hand mixer for about 5 minutes, or until you have stiff peaks
- Add in the protein powder and lemon juice. Mix on low speed just until everything is fully incorporated
- Carefully transfer the batter into your prepared pan, trying to deflate it as little as possible
- Bake at 350F for about 30 minutes. After 30 minutes, turn the oven off and leave the door closed. Leave the bread in the oven for an additional 30 minutes
- Remove from the oven, and gently slice when totally cooled with a serrated knife. Add parchment paper between each slice, and place in an airtight bag. Store in the fridge (up to 5 days). I do not recommend freezing this bread
Notes
- An equal amount of casein or pea protein powder (2 scoops, 60 g) will work in place of whey.
- To make this a savory bread, use unflavored protein powder. Add 1 tsp (3 g) each of garlic and onion powder.
- To make this a sweet bread, use vanilla protein powder. Add 1 tsp (5 g) each of vanilla extract and liquid monk fruit, as well as 1 tsp (3 g) of cinnamon.
- If you're using chocolate protein powder, add the vanilla, monk fruit, and cinnamon as called for in note 3, as well as 4 tbsp (20 g) of cocoa powder.
