low carb collagen brownies

brownies that heal your gut instead of wrecking it? but taste just as good?
sign me up. they’re so easy:

preheat oven to 350F and grease well an 8x8 pan (i used a round pan to make more of a brownie pie).
in a bowl, combine 1.5 c warm water, 1/2 c raw organic almond butter (or any pure nut butter), and 1/4 c granulated golden organic lakanto sugar. mix well.
in a separate bowl combine 1/2 c organic vanilla collagen protein (i used primal kitchen brand), 1/4 c raw organic cacao powder, 2 T coconut flour, & 2 t baking powder.
mix wet & dry ingredients together & scoop into pan. smooth surface and bake for 40-45 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean.

i topped with some fresh raspberries + extra melted white+dark chocolate i had leftover from making chocolate covered strawberries (previous post)!!

store in the fridge but they did not last long...

BEETS

beets are one of my very favorite foods. here’s a tasty way to enjoy them:

preheat oven to 400F
wash & cube 5 large beets & lay out on a parchment lined baking sheet.
coat evenly with evo avocado oil and season with sea salt & black pepper.
bake for 40 minutes, stirring half way.
transfer to a bowl and toss with juice of 1 lime, 1 lemon, & 1 orange, + 1 T acv. sprinkle with spirulina crunchies and sumac.
