Sometimes you want a donut and sometimes you treat yo self and get one but you feel like crap afterward...am i right or am i right? That flour, sugar and grease can do a wild thing to our bodies, brains, energy, stomach and waist line dang it. So....keto donuts to the rescue! 

These are so good and instead of white flour they are made with coconut sugar. Rather than white cane sugar they are made with Swerve which doesn't spike blood sugar and make us feel funky! And BONUS!! These have MCT in them which is good for our brain power y'all! Sign me up big time! 

One thing you need is a donut pan which I found at Bed Bath n Beyond but I also found one on Amazon , Sur La Table & good old Target! 

I have a 17 year old son who loves donuts and not only did he help me make these but he thinks they are delicious! Here is the recipe! If you make them and post on social media I would love for you to tag me so I can see what you thought and give you a thumbs...

In short, the keto diet requires you to reduce the  carbohydrates in your diet and replace them with healthy fats. When you restrict carbs from your diet, you re-adjust your body to run off body fat and ketones as its main source of energy. By doing this low carb, high fat diet, we are seeing many health benefits like improved brain function, fat loss/ weight loss, reduced inflammation and more! 

But it you're like me just the thought of cutting...

I absolutely LOVE getting texts from friends and customers who share their journey   ( or as we often call it their " better story") with me because it gets me super pumped up and excited for them!!!!!! I share about ketones because i know how awesome they are for all of us- for our brain health and overall wellness! Pure therapeutic ketones by Pruvit are backed by science, are innovative, are the category king when it comes to exogenous ketones, are patented, are the most bio-identical and they continue to improve! 

You might know this already but I was the girl who was skeptical and didn't want to believe that i needed a real change!  For at least two years I stayed stuck, I continued to eat low fat, live off bars and shakes and suffer from stomach aches, crappy sleep, low energy, major brain fog and more!

Finally I had enough. I knew there had to be a better way to feel better & more alive! That's when I learned about the ketogenic diet so i dove in. I...

These are super tasty and low carb! No tortilla needed!

• 1 1 b ground beef
• 1 package taco seasoning mix
• 3/4 cup water
• 1-1/2 lbs mini bell peppers
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

• Cilantro Cream Sauce:
• 1/2 cup sour cream
• 1/2 cup fresh cilantro
• 1/2 teaspoon minced garlic
• 2 tablespoons lime juice

• Preheat oven to 350 °.
• Slice 1/3 of the pepper off lengthwise, reserving for later use. Seed the peppers. Peppers naturally have one side that is straighter than the other. When slicing the top of your bell peppers, try to slice the side that is curvier off so that the flat side remaining is the side we are stuffing.
• Chop the reserved peppers finely and set aside 3/4 cup.
• In 10-inch skillet, cook beef and reserved 3/4 cup chopped peppers over medium-high heat 5 to 7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until beef is brown; drain. Stir in taco seasoning mix and water. Cook over medium heat 5-10, stirring occasionally. Let mixture slightly cool.

I don't always do keto but when I do I made these keto bagels!!

Homemade bagels...what??? And guess what- they are not only super delicious but they are SOOOOO EASY to make!!!!! This recipe can make either 4 nice sized ones or 8 smaller ones ( 4 net carbs in case you are curious). 

Here is the recipe!!! Enjoy! 

KETO BAGELS

Ingredients: 

1 1/2 cups almond flour

1/4 tsp baking powder

1/4 tsl sea salt

2 eggs beaten

1/4 tsp xanthan gum

2 1/2 cups mozzarella cheese, shredded

Directions: 

Combine flour, baking powder and salt. Add eggs and xanthan gum. Melt cheese in microwave safe bowl for 2 minutes until melted. Combine all ingredients into one bowl and mix together. Coat hands with coconut oil then shape into bagels. To make it easier I recommend separating the dough into equal parts then rolling in between hands to form a long rope then make a circle and gently pinch the ends together to form a bagel. Sprinkle the dough with "Everything Bagel"...

About 15 months ago a good friend of mine mentioned exogenous or pure therapeutic ketones and I was soooo curious. I was also skeptical because that's how I am especially when I hear about something I can eat or drink. Then she told me about all the benefits and I was like " wait what??" because at the time i was on the struggle bus big. knew a bit about the keto diet and I had done it in cycles. I giggle looking back now because I was the girl who said things like      " oh my gosh that's such a fad diet" "that won't last" and " I don't want to eat bacon and butter all day long". Haha! That's what i thought keto was. I thought it was trendy and new and that I had to eat cheese and meat and butter all day. I totally remember my friend Natalie sending me this video- which you have probably seen by now but this four minutes changed things in a big way for me- it even changed my life to be honest: https://mollyrichards.experienceketo.com

Knowing what i know now,...

Woohoo!!

So you can imagine my joy knowing that we have a chance to win the title!
