I like it and its so easy to make and healthy.

Once I figured out how to separate the yolks from regular eggs I just got the regular eggs. Saved a bunch of money. However, you can't beat the convenience of the EB.

If you use only 1 egg, you can put in a small bowl (about the diameter of an egg muffin) and put in the microwave for about 1:20. Cooks to that form and makes a great egg/whole wheat muffin sandwich

My all time forvorite is with LF cheese and salsa in a ww tortilla! The egg beaters are rather expensive, when compared to just eggs, but I love the convenience and the fact that they are lower in fat-and with omega3! OK now I'm hungry, must be snack time! -------------- Even if you are on the right track, you will get run over if you just sit there.

Spinach is one of my favorites to mix into my eggs, too! -------------- Vitality shows not only in the ability to persist but the ability to start over. - F. Scott Fitzgerald

I've seen them in the store but just couldn't bring myself to buy them-it just seemed wrong. Well, they were very good and extremely convenient! Think they'll be on my grocery list from now on. Great quick protien snack! Guess it's a sign of laziness (or being way too busy) when your buying pre hard boiled eggs:laugh: -------------- Even if you are on the right track, you will get run over if you just sit there.

Hard boiled eggs keep for a long time - you could save some money by making your own once a week, peel them and bag them in the number you eat at once. -------------- Vitality shows not only in the ability to persist but the ability to start over. - F.

That just sounds gross, though, so i try not to over-analyze it..maybe someone will give us a lengthy scientific answer that will put us off of hard-boiled eggs completely.... -------------- Vitality shows not only in the ability to persist but the ability to start over. - F.
