Keto Pumpkin Protein Waffles with Cream Cheese Icing Recipe — The Keto Minimalist

Published

on

Ingredients for Keto Pumpkin Protein Waffles.

Other than canned pumpkin, cream cheese, and normal baking ingredients like eggs, baking powder, and butter, the only special ingredient you need to make the Keto Pumpkin Spice Protein Waffles is vanilla protein powder.

I currently use only Equip brand grass-fed beef isolate protein powder. (Click to see the current price on Amazon.) After 6 months of following a carnivore diet, I learned that I am very sensitive to some foods that were a common part of my diet. One of which is whey protein. For me it causes bloating and a gassy stomach which is no fun.

Equip protein powder is not cheap, but it contains only grass-fed beef and clean ingredients. The vanilla uses only grass-fed beef, natural vanilla flavor, stevia extract, and organic coconut cream powder. There are no chemicals or stabilizers, and it contains whole-food collagen. And no, it does not taste like beef!!

If you have a vanilla protein powder on hand I encourage you to try a batch with your favorite brand. But know I only tested this recipe with Equip protein. Be sure to choose a vanilla protein powder that tastes good on its own. I’ve used Quest Vanilla Milkshake and Premier Protein brands in the past, and they should work well.

Keto Pumpkin Spice Protein Bread Recipe | Low-Carb

Published

By

I just finished Dr. Gabrielle Lyon’s book Forever Strong, which stresses the importance of getting enough quality protein to maintain healthy muscle and even gain muscle mass. Eating enough quality protein is especially important as we age.

A protein-forward diet can not only help with muscle, but it can balance blood sugar, increase energy, improve mental clarity, and positively affect sleep.

I enjoy lots of meat, fish, and eggs but sometimes I prefer getting my protein in the form of something that tastes like a decadent treat.

Enter this Keto Pumpkin Spice Protein Bread recipe. It mixes up quickly and smells like gingerbread while baking. It’s not overly sweet like a traditional pumpkin bread made with lots of sugar and flour, and it packs lots of protein into a delicious mini loaf.

Can You Drink Coffee on a Carnivore Diet? Pros and Cons — The Keto Minimalist

Published

Pros of drinking coffee on a carnivore diet.

Coffee is delicious, drinking it is a calming ritual in the morning, and it makes us feel better. That’s enough for me to include coffee in my meal plan. But here are other reasons you might consider drinking coffee even if you follow a carnivore diet.

Coffee contains zero carbs.

Coffee is carb-free, which makes it a great beverage choice for those following a carnivore diet. It won’t interfere with the diet’s primary focus on animal products.

Coffee increases mental alertness and cognitive function.

If you’re a coffee drinker you know coffee wakes you up!  Caffeine, a natural stimulant found in coffee, has been shown to enhance cognitive function, improve mood, and increase alertness. This can be especially beneficial if you’re following a diet that may initially cause changes in energy levels, like carnivore or keto.    Source.

Coffee contains antioxidants.

Coffee contains antioxidants, which are compounds that help combat oxidative stress in the body. While the carnivore diet is primarily focused on animal products, adding coffee can contribute to your overall antioxidant intake. Source.

Coffee may reduce the risk of neurological disorders.

Some studies suggest that regular coffee consumption may be associated with a reduced risk of neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s.  Source.

Coffee may have potential cardiovascular benefits.

Moderate coffee consumption has been linked to a lower risk of cardiovascular diseases and mortality.  Source.

Coffee may improve liver health.

Coffee consumption has been associated with a lower risk of liver diseases, including liver cirrhosis and liver cancer.   Source.

Coffee may lower the risk of Type 2 Diabetes.

Some studies suggest that regular coffee consumption may be associated with a lower risk of developing type 2 diabetes.  Source.

While coffee offers many health benefits, it’s essential to be aware of potential side effects, especially when consumed in excess. Here are some common cons or side effects associated with drinking coffee.

Air Fryer Crispy Carnivore Chicken Nuggets Recipe

Published

on

By

While traditional chicken nuggets are a no-go on a keto diet, these 4-ingredient crunchy chicken nuggets are perfectly keto-friendly AND are perfect for a carnivore diet!

They use canned chicken which I personally love for chicken salad and always have on hand in my pantry. You can mix them up in just minutes and air fry them to a crisp, golden brown for an indulgent lunch or dinner.

If you follow a carnivore diet you can eat the chicken nuggets on their own, or dip in my Easy

Béarnaise Sauce.

If you eat keto or follow a low-carb way of eating, serve with ranch, pico de gallo, sugar-free barbecue sauce, pesto, or blue cheese dressing.
