Very happy to have found this product, great job Julian Bakeries!
***2017 Update***<br /><br />After looking at a lot of protein powders from various different sources, eggs, meat, vegetables, milk, etc...I chose this one.<br /><br />Below are the reasons:<br /><br />-U.S. Based manufacturing and ingredient source, some powders are produced outside the U.S. and I have read there is metal or other contamination that can occur. Though I did not confirm this I assume U.S. based products would not have this issue or are safer than non-U.S. products.<br />-No filler ingredients, this is literally powder egg whites, which by default are a whole/natural protein source. Other powders have so much weird un-pronouncable &#34;stuff&#34; in them that you don't even know what your taking or how accurate the claims are.<br />-Non-GMO and no antibiotics used on chickens<br />-Eggs are cooked and not air dried (this prevents a avidin health issue), they are also pasteurized. This was confirmed by calling Julian Bakery's in California and an email to their nutritionist.<br />-No Soy, no Lactose! Large amounts of soy diets can cause hormonal issues for both men and women. Avoid soy proteins! I am also lactose intolerant so pure egg protein is great.<br />-Price per. protein comes to 30 g per. dollar., really good rate compared to other products out there.<br />-Low calories, basically you are taking in calories only for the protein not other fillers (e.g., sugars), it is about 4.32 calories per. protein<br />-The expiration dates are very reasonable, my two bags are about 2 year + to expiration.<br /><br />-One con is that it does have a lot of salt (381 mg per serving), so if you are sensitive to it, or this is something you watch, it is something to keep in mind<br /><br />One thing that stuck out is that the empty scoop weighs 9 grams and filled it is 34 grams, I am not sure why this is, maybe they are rounding the servings to a nice number. Technically each scoop has 25 grams (34 grams minus 9 grams) of powder, which i hopefully means it is 25 g of protein and additional 5 grams is just rounding since serving size is 30 grams.<br /><br />***CORRECTION*** I realized that the scoop measures close to 30 grams, but its impossible to design something to pick up the exact amount of powder every single time, you will need a scale if you want exactly 30 grams every time, or just live with the fact you will scoop anywhere from 25-30 grams.<br /><br />Overall good product and one of the best I found. The taste is so-so, that means it won't make you puke, but it isn't like ice-cream. It's just plain. I am in the middle of my first bag. Before protein powders became a fad and different brands/recipes went out on the market, in the 90's eggs were considered to be the best source of pure complete protein (i believe it still is). I am comfortable with putting this in my body over a long period of time on a daily basis due to its very very short ingredient list.<br /><br />Please always consult a doctor before changing your diet or exercise program.
