Ahh people.Β The time hath come to bid Egg Beaters 100% Egg Whites a fond fond farewell.
Up in herre I mean.
And, even being a misfit who turns down 76.77% of brand-partnership opportunities because they are *not* an organic fit, this has been one of my fave.partnerships.ever.
I celebrated when they picked me because I’d been chasing them for eons always been interested in partnering with them.
Id eaten them for years.Β They work for me.Β
My body thrives on protein (yours may too!*).Β I feel better, more energetic, and less prone to mood swings.
I adore how easy Egg Beaters 100% egg whites are to slip into my meals, snacks & car (when the Tornado was little the number of eggs I broke trying to carry *her* and my groceries are immeasurable).
All that said, Im celebrating one.big.thing. even as this brand partnership comes to a close:
It has reminded me yet again how when we practice what we preach–there’s nary a need to say a word.
Ren Man now makes a Meal in a Mug for breakfast each morning and to say this is a ginormous change for the healthy would be a dramatic understatement.
The Tornado had *already* noticed Egg Beaters were my fave food (as per the picture below):
And apparently had a ‘moment’ with her teacher over my Mothers Day card when she insisted I liked my eggs from a “box” and they did NOT have the yellow middle:
I also adore how many stranger-friends now associate me with Egg Beaters.Β Reason #19478347 why I never align with a brand I do not fully embrace:
Blather blather love love aside—I wanted to take a moment during this last post and share with you something WE are loving right now:
(the pod was a gift but Id imagine a google-search would turn up the source? Id also imagine if youre a true “cook” you already know how to poach without needing said pod)
We’ve been poaching the EB whites non-stop around here because it’s something the Tornado can do (practically) by herself and also something she can get utterly creative with.
She’s tried adding cheese, crumbled sausage, veggies, salsa & a few other items (fruit alert! fruit alert!) which didnt go over so well in her mouth.
Our breakfast, snack, lunch, whatevers is ready to be topped served:
And that’s where we are on this Wednesday.
Saying farewell, poaching up a storm, and remembering when we practice what we preach theres nary a need to say a word.
And you?
Have you noticed, when you live authentically & act in accordance to your mission/beliefs, people around you cant help but follow?
Have you any tips for the Tornado for her poach-toppings?
Please to hit us up in the comments below.
*Studies are increasingly showing it is PROTEIN which serves to keep us awake & fight the mid-day slump not sugars.
This post is sponsored by Egg Beaters 100% egg whites. As always the rest of the mishegas is all my own.

June 6, 2012 at 3:17 amI think of you each time I see them now too, Miz!
Runner Girl says
June 6, 2012 at 3:25 amOMG!
I had not thought about the poaching.
Great idea.
Heidi @BananaBuzzbomb says
June 6, 2012 at 3:30 amI totally agree with Dorothy, I TOTALLY think of you when I see Egg Beaters. Ha! And you’re right, only align yourself with brands you believe in. =)
Helen says
June 6, 2012 at 3:40 amHave you tried pouring the whites into boiling water?
I wonder if that would work to immediately poach?!
Fun stuff Miz.
Tammy says
June 6, 2012 at 4:23 amI’ve tried that before!!!
It creates ribbons of poached egg white.
Miz says
June 6, 2012 at 4:25 amI remember trying that a decade ago too! I’d forgotten!
DEBRA says
June 6, 2012 at 2:07 pmisn’t that how they make egg drop soup?
Nettie says
June 6, 2012 at 3:59 amWhat leaps out here for me is the fact the Tornado wants to be like you are, Carla.
You’re a fantastic mom.
Tara Burner says
June 6, 2012 at 4:14 amYou know I think of you (and send you pics from the store) when I get me my Egg Beaters whites!
as far as poaching ideas…drawing a blank!
Ivy says
June 6, 2012 at 8:12 amSalsa!
Angela @ Happy Fit Mama says
June 6, 2012 at 4:34 amI’m not going to lie, I think of you too when I see Egg Beaters. I love the poach pod. I’m need one of those for my egg beaters!
Coco says
June 6, 2012 at 4:37 amOh, I have some of those pods, but I’m too impatient to boil water. LOL at the incient over what eggs look like!
Izzy says
June 6, 2012 at 4:44 amLMAO at the Tornado!!!
lindsay says
June 6, 2012 at 5:18 ami think better things are coming, but i agree you should have been paid $$! I think of you too now when i see egg white beaters. But this poach pod, where do i get one?! I NEED it ASAP! The husband is obsessed with poached
Eve says
June 6, 2012 at 5:25 amI hope this is ok, Miz?
I found the pods here:
http://www.amazon.com/Fusionbrands-3-Inch-Silicone-Poach-Poaching/dp/B000P6FD3I
Ordering and using with my Egg Beaters too!!
Meredith @ DareYouTo says
June 6, 2012 at 5:19 amhahahs SO cute about the Tornado’s correction of the teacher. She’s a smart one!
Wendy says
June 6, 2012 at 5:27 amI work in PR (cars not fitness) and this is a strong success.
I always hope people will associate my clients with the car brand I work with.
Rock on Miz!
Pure2raw twins says
June 6, 2012 at 5:32 amI need to get that Poach Pod, I have always wanted to learn how to poach eggs.
Agree with you 100% about finding and working with a brand you honestly stand by! Glad it was such a great partnership!
Madeline @ Food Fitness and Family says
June 6, 2012 at 5:59 amI completely think of you when I think egg whites! And OMG the fact that the Tornado knows they’re your favorite? Awesome. Even more awesome is her moment with her teacher haha.
KCLAnderson (Karen) says
June 6, 2012 at 6:12 amSo, even though I’ve used Egg Beaters over the years, it was your blogging about the Egg Whites that got me interested again π I add them to my hot oat bran cereal for extra protein. So easy. And yes, in a mug!
And yes, I definitely agree that when I stand in my truth, I am a beacon of light π
Jody - Fit at 54 says
June 6, 2012 at 6:20 amI will never think of liquid egg whites again without thinking of you!!! I use a different brand due to hard to find your brand near me & where I shop.
That pic of “Her Favorite Foods is” – CRACKED ME UP! I won’t tell her! π
POD is cool!
So why is this ending?
Heather Montgomery says
June 6, 2012 at 6:29 amI always think of you as well! That means you did a GREAT job!
Lorraine says
June 6, 2012 at 6:44 amOh goodness. Your daughter is too funny.
You are correct too. We need to lead not talk about leading.
Kerri O says
June 6, 2012 at 7:01 am*sniff* *sniff* I may need a moment…
Brittany (Healthy Slice of Life) says
June 6, 2012 at 7:30 amI, too, think of you when I see egg whites, haha! And that’s mostly just from seeing your tweets π
I love when bloggers only choose brands and products to work with that they do or would use in real life. It makes it so much more authentic and trustworthy. I follow suit and turn down a majority, holding out for quality products I believe in. Kudos to you!
Shelley (@Stuperb) says
June 6, 2012 at 7:36 amI lovelovelove the mother’s day card/discussion with the teacher. Hilarious & adorable.
And I will forever associate egg beaters with you. I have for a long time, since well before they were a sponsor! It’s awesome when partnerships work this way – nothing seems forced or superficial about it. Way to go Miz!
Ivy says
June 6, 2012 at 7:46 amOh. I preach a lot. Good point.
Cat @ Breakfast to Bed says
June 6, 2012 at 8:10 amHummus and Kale chips on the whites!!
Quix says
June 6, 2012 at 8:22 amI think of you when I see egg beaters. π And I so wish I liked eggs, I know they are the perfect food – the one time I was able to choke down half an omlette I was full forever. It’s just a texture thing (and a flavor think with the yolks).
And hehehe! I got eggs from that picture but they definitely do a have a similarity to… errr… something else.
Lori says
June 6, 2012 at 8:25 amPoaching the whites is cool! I do a dish in the micro and get the egg white puff.
Toppings?
Salsa
Jam/jelly (sweet and egg whites actually go well together)
laughing cow
Joyce Cherrier says
June 6, 2012 at 8:32 amI can’t see a carton of EB’s in the store without thinking of you! I had them this morning with salsa & Braggs sea kelp delight seasoning – but my kids like with oatmeal, cinnamon and applesauce.
I will miss your EB love posts! π
misszippy1 says
June 6, 2012 at 8:46 amYou are the EB White girl! Glad it has been such a great ride for you.
KymberlyFunFit says
June 6, 2012 at 8:58 amAM I not yet awake enough? Or did I miss WHY you are no longer working with them?
Christine @ Love, Life, Surf says
June 6, 2012 at 8:59 amEvery time I see EB Whites in the store, I think of you. No joke. You actually inspired me to add EB Whites to my smoothies as a way to get some additional protein. Love it!! Thanks for sharing your love with all of us!
Miz says
June 6, 2012 at 9:25 amOOPS. See? I thought I was superclear yet was not π
Nothing more than my contract ending!
Nancy says
June 6, 2012 at 9:28 amLOL I wondered!
They need to re-hire you.
Caitlin says
June 6, 2012 at 9:31 amI feel I’m living proof of the fact that protein fights mid-day slumps. I try to keep the sugars/refined carbs out of my diet or if they are in there, keep them LOW during the day because they drag me down so much and cause me to crash. I keep protein high ALL the time and always feel awesome. Coincidence, I think not!
Carissa says
June 6, 2012 at 9:34 amLiquid egg whites make me think of you…and biotin. Crazy nutritional science. I love them because they’re fast and healthy. You represented them well, Miz Fit. Kudos.
PavementRunner says
June 6, 2012 at 10:49 amI’ve NEVER had those… Can i scramble them like I do with the eggs I eat now? I like the yellow in my eggs, it goes so well with the red in my ketchup. And yes, it’a ll about the color palette on the plate.
Miz says
June 6, 2012 at 10:57 amSO SO SO EASY to scramble (and we gets our color from the veggies :)) and yet the husband still adores the mealinmug linked above.
Im a smoothie GURL:
http://carlabirnberg.com/2012/03/06/smoothie-making-challenge-sponsored-by-egg-beaters/
since they are pasteurized you can pour them straight in…
Michele @ nycrunningmama says
June 6, 2012 at 10:51 amI will always think of you when I see signs for EB Whites =) They should re-hire you!!!
Rita says
June 6, 2012 at 10:59 amHells bells they need to rehire you as a spokesperson.
Maybe if they came to the grocery with us they’d see how you spent any money you made back on them.
Love ya girl!
Roz@weightingfor50 says
June 6, 2012 at 11:35 amI think of you, and how you “crack” be up when I walk by the “break free” whites we get here in Canada. Thats no yolk!!! You did egg beaters proud!!! (and I can’t believe I wrote the bad egg jokes…I think I’ve had a bit too much coffee this mornign!!) Have a wonderful Wednesday.
Miz says
June 6, 2012 at 12:30 pmtotally.made.me.LAUGH.
MCM Mama says
June 6, 2012 at 5:28 pmI so need to video my breakfast in a mug – even though I blow it up in the microwave every.single.tim. Maybe the pod is more my speed…
Kierston says
June 6, 2012 at 5:40 pmWhen I think of EB Whites your face comes to mind! That and the fake tattoo you posted some weeks ago with their logo! π
Jess @ Blonde Ponytail says
June 6, 2012 at 6:46 pmEgg Beaters egg whites were on my blog today too! I will forever think of you when i have them…and maybe Tornado’s drawing!
Amanda @HappyMotherRunner says
June 6, 2012 at 11:18 pmI love this. It motivates me to pursue brands I am passionate about!
Yo Momma Runs says
June 7, 2012 at 12:05 amThe poach pod is awesome. A few years ago, my husband and I decided that if we were to invent anything, we would have to throw “pod’ in the name to make it a success.
Bonnie says
June 7, 2012 at 2:41 amI’ve enjoyed these posts, Mizzy, because they are personal and authentic.
Great partnership.
Nicole @ Making Good Choices says
June 7, 2012 at 6:08 amI still think I’m going to see your picture on the box when I pass them in the food store π
Yum Yucky says
June 7, 2012 at 8:50 amPoached topping? First thing outta my brain to say was “chocolate chips”, but that would just be all kinds of wrong. Feel free to flag this comment for it’s absurdity.
charlotte says
June 7, 2012 at 1:55 pmI have such a hard time eating enough protein. I don’t know if it was my years as a vegetarian or just a natural dislike but pretty much the only animal protein sources I really really love are fish and (yay!) eggs. I eat alotalotalot of eggs. Someday we shall eat omelettes together:)
FatFighterTV says
June 7, 2012 at 5:41 pmOMG I am ROFL at the Tornado pic with the yolks in the middle. I promise I will not tell her what they look like. π
This has been a good campaign and I’m glad we could band together on it.
xoxo
Carrie @ Season It Already! says
June 7, 2012 at 7:00 pmMidday protein. I’ll keep that in mind!
Courtney @ Sweet Tooth, Sweet Life says
July 25, 2012 at 6:32 amHaha, I most definitely think of you when I hear Egg Beaters now! I’m gonna need to try out that poached egg business…sounds gooooood π
