I'm looking for something similar here in Germany as Egg Beaters.
http://www.eggbeaters.com/products/faqs.jsp
Its basically a carton of egg whites with the yolks removed with a few other vitamins and nutrients added?
No joy so far looking and my German is not the best, they all think I'm looking for protein

...I think you're being a bit optimistic if you recon you'll get them here !
you're best bet is probably a "food from home" type business

No such luck!! You're better of separating the whites yourself and saving the yolk for home "hair/face masks". The amino-acids make your hair shine like diamonds and gives an instant collagen boost to your face.

If you're desperate I can get you some but it'll cost more to ship it to you than what they cost. Does it have an expiration date as I've seen it in the chilled cabinet on the base.

I'm not exactly desperate for them.
I thought I might be able to get a similar product here, but I've had no luck!
Where would you source them from Nicole?
They have an expiration date once opened, but you can buy them frozen.

US Army base. Do they not have something similar in powdered form or were you after the fresh stuff??

Not sure if it comes in powdered form.
Ideally I would like it fresh, was looking for something I could pick up locally in a supermarket or health store.
Thought I would be able to get something like it here.
If I can't locate it I'll take up Willy's suggestion... it's just that I'm so lazy

Maybe I'm old fashioned, but why not just used eggs?
P.s you can do lots more interesting things with egg yolks than smear it on your hair... no, not that! You can used them to make ice cream, or zabaglione.
here is a nice egg beater

Mainly health reasons!
Looking for a healthier alternative!

I'm sorry, but that just sounds bizarre.
I'd have thought just eating less eggs altogether would be healthier. Or, if you must, just leave out the yolks yourself.
Surely they have to add more then just "vitamins and other nutrients" to make the product last so long? Bet there's a preservative or two in there somewhere...

Anyone seen EggBeaters or Just Whites here? I am too lazy to separate my eggs for my egg white omlete. Is it just me, or is Germany not really into the healthy stuff?? What's with all these fattening sauces on everything? Don't they want to actually taste the food and not the sauce?

Shit. Are you being serious?? You don't eat the egg yolk? Eating modified foods aren't healthy for you either, you are just being a guinea pig for food scientists.

An egg white omelete ? Jaysus, like a fried egg that's been attacked by an Alien ?
Just when you think you have seen almost everything...

I didn't think I'd like egg white omlettes either, but have had a few in the states here this week, and was pleasantly surprised.
Never seen eggbeaters in Munich. I doubt they appeal to the processed pork and potato crowd. Even if they did sell them, they'd be expensive and a pain in the ass to keep going to a special store to buy. I hear you on the separation thing, but in the long run the lazier route here actually would be to do it yourself.
