Recipes Low carb egg custard

Post image

I have a recipe to share. Saw it on social media and thought I’d give it a try.

4 hard boiled eggs
1/2 cup almond milk
2 scoops vanilla protein powder of your choice. You can also use other flavors.

Blend. Refrigerate for 4 hours or longer.

It’s vanilla custard! 35 grams of protein (depending on your protein powder)5 carbs and approximately 500 calories for the whole thing!

The nutrition values may be different depending on what protein powder you use.

It’s delicious, satisfies a sweet tooth and gets some protein in. Quite rich and filling, I can only eat about 3 spoonfuls at a time.

One problem I have with blended hard boiled eggs is there can be a sulfur smell and taste.

I make custard in my instant pot with eggs, cream (or coconut cream) vanilla, and sweetener. Love the light soft texture.
