Gut Friendly Kefir Parfait
You gotta see this to believe it. It’s pretty magical. And soooo good for you. Watch til the end for the transformation!

1 container (32 oz) plain low-fat kefir
1/2 tsp vanilla bean paste
2 tsp honey, keto honey or 1/2 of each

Strain your kefir (covered) in a strong nut bag for two days, dumping excess liquid a few times until you’re left with a thick, Greek yogurt type consistency.

Add to a bowl and using an electric mixer, add the vanilla and honey. Whip for a minute. I don’t like it overly sweet. There’s supposed to be a subtle tang left. But you can totally add more sweetener if you like.

Divide into two portions.

Or- just add a few tablespoons to your yogurt, cottage cheese or dip strawberries into it.

Each serving is only 196 cal and has 16g protein and 4g fat.

Thinking of adding some collagen protein to my next batch. I also sprinkle some bee pollen on top. Gut and immunity powerhouse!

Lmk if you try it.

Most people are pouring olive oil into a hot pan like it’s just… oil.

It’s not.

The good stuff (like high polyphenol olive oil) is where you get all the benefits: anti-inflammatory, good for your heart, skin, all of it… but heat kind of ruins the party.

So instead… use it raw.

I now do a shot a day! They say it’s like natures Advil! So drizzle it. Blend it. Finish dishes with it. That’s where it actually does something.

This pesto is my current obsession. Takes 2 minutes and you can throw it on literally everything: salmon, chicken, eggs, roasted veggies.

High Polyphenol Pistachio Pesto:

• 2 big handfuls basil (about 2.5 oz)
• 1 handful arugula
• 1/3 cup medicinal grade olive oil
• 1/3 cup fresh Parmesan
• 1/3 cup dry roasted salted pistachios
• 1 clove garlic
• 2 tsp lemon juice
• Salt and pepper to taste

Blend. That’s it.

Freeze it for meal prep!

Drizzle over your salmon like this and you’ve got protein, healthy fats, and something that actually tastes good without trying too hard.

Yes. You can make your own mayo. Way healthier than store bought. I prefer this to the healthy avocado mayo I used to buy. I added 1 tsp of white vinegar and love it even more. Recipe in video but just blend:
4 HB eggs
1/4 c EVOO
1 TBS Dijon
1 tsp white vinegar
1/4 tsp ancient salt

Sardines are having the 2025 cottage cheese moment aren’t they? It’s no wonder-they’re quite good for you, but a bit fishy though so masking them with this amazing roasted tomato and garlic smash with fresh basil makes them quite nice. And if you’re never going to try 🐟- pair the tomatoes with ground bison or turkey. I use salt and olive oil. Full recipe is in the video.
Sardine benefits:
•Omega-3 powerhouse → high in EPA & DHA for brain, heart, and inflammation support
•Natural creatine + protein → supports muscle, metabolism, and strength (especially helpful if you don’t eat red meat often)
•Bone + hormone support → rich in calcium, vitamin D, and selenium for bone density and thyroid health

Cauli crusts fall apart. So do many cottage based crusts. When you add a “flour” you get a bomb and unbreakable crust. I use unflavored A2 protein powder for baking bread, wraps or anything savory. It’s unparalleled in nutrients. You have to balance things out so your baking isn’t dry because often protein powders can do that. So a trick is extra egg or cottage. Recipe below…
High Protein STURDY Pizza Crust
1/2 cup cottage cheese
1 egg
4 scoops viscera unflavored A2 protein powder
——————————
1/4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
(Below not counted as ingredients… optional)
—————
1/4 tsp baking powder
Dash of Salt and garlic powder

Blend the cottage, egg and protein powder. You’re gonna have to shake that thang and scrape the sides. Stir in the cheese, baking powder and seasoning. Pour onto a silpat and spread into a large dinner plate sized circle. Bake for 10 minutes at 400 degrees. Remove to top.

Spread on pizza sauce. Add fun toppings. Sprinkle with cheese or use fresh mozzarella. Bake until your cheese is melted (about 8 min). Cool a bit. Slice. Serve.

Macros in video are for the crust. But since there’s soooo much protein- a little Rao’s sauce and sprinkle of cheese or hit of parm and you’re good to go without adding many more calories. I added some olives- yum!

Recipe is in the video. Can’t mess it up. It’s just French toast made with - macros are 🔥
If you want- use my code for a discount. Or just buy from Whole Foods. But I HIGHLY recommend their new cinnamon rolls. And those are online.

The video tells ya how to do it. No cream cheese needed. Just a few simple ingredients. It’s warm, creamy, tart and sweet. Much better than a mug cake IMO. Blend: 1/2 c cottage cheese, 1 egg, 1 sachet chocolate , 1 TBS cacao powder, 2 TBS allulose. Pour into a big greased ramekin. Stir in some raspberries and SF choc chips. Micro for 2 min 15. Check for overflow. Or bake. 350 for 25-28 min. If you like it a bit gooey (duh) bake for less. About 300 cal. 44g pro. 10 net carbs. 4g fiber. 9g fat.

How often do you clean your water bottle? Be honest! Do you take her apart and scrub her in all her crevices with a safe soap and super hot water? Or dish wash but handle all of her delicate parts properly? If not- you must. And more often than you think! is magic. The mold, yeast and biofilm inside your bottle- not so much. Get scrubbing!

Fiber does so many good things for your body. Most people get 12g a day but the goal is 25-30. Here are easy ways to reach those goals. Mostly whole foods and a few bread products that don’t suck. Like

It’s not hard to get in more probiotic foods if you know where to look (especially if fermented foods like kimchi aren’t your favorite). Start easy and keep adding. Your gut and immune system will thank you.

is kinda mind-blowing. Got their bagels (80 calories and mega fiber) and this bread (only 30 calories!). And they’re not dry or cardboard tasting. So so good! Just ordered their new cinnamon rolls. Can’t wait for those to come!
