Health Tip: If Allergic to Eggs
By LadyLively on August 27, 2015
People who are allergic to eggs don’t have to miss out on the tasty versatility that eggs offer.
The Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics suggests these alternatives:
- In place of scrambled eggs, use cubed firm tofu. In the pan, gently smash it with a fork to make it crumble like a scrambled egg. Sprinkle with a little turmeric for yellow coloring.
- Use diced extra-firm tofu in place of hard-boiled eggs in salads and sandwiches. Or opt for white beans or baked, ready-to-eat tofu.
- Use chia seeds or flax seeds mixed with water (1 tablespoon seeds to 3 tablespoons water) in place of eggs in baking to help bind batter. You’ll need to let the mixture rest for 15 to 20 minutes.
- Substitute applesauce, avocado, mashed banana, silken tofu or garbanzo beans for eggs to make baked goods creamier, more moist and richer.
- For a simple protein-rich snack, opt for Greek yogurt. One-quarter cup (plain, fat-free) has the same protein as an egg.
