Keto Peanut Butter Muffins with Chocolate Frosting
I had friends that I met on my keto trip to Greece come to visit us in Maui. Vito is a chef so he cooked for us but I wanted to have a delicious dessert for them to enjoy after his meal. I make my keto peanut butter cupcakes and they absolutely loved them!
HOW TO MAKE KETO PEANUT BUTTER CUPCAKESTo make my keto peanut butter cupcakes, I used peanut butter Equip Prime Protein powder!
I love Equip Prime Protein powder so much, I even pack a bag and an immersion blender with me when I travel! I am in LOVE with it!
It works great for making recipes like my protein-packed keto peanut butter cupcakes. I used the peanut butter Equip. The peanut butter Prime Protein powder is an all-natural, comes from 100% grass-fed beef protein powder with only only 3 ingredients: beef, peanut butter flour powder, salt, and stevia. No fillers, no additives, no chemicals and it is so delicious!

During the middle of Covid I said enough was enough and that I was going to get a handle on my weight! My sons were being picked on about how fat their mom was. I had a good cry and told myself it’s time to make a change.
My starting weight was embarrassingly to say 465. I am now down to 262!
I still have a ways to go but what a difference it is!! I have way more energy!
Thanks for all the fun recipes and ways to make me feel like I’m not missing out!!! Thank you immensely! I hope you have a Merry Christmas/ Happy holidays!!” – Heidi

Sauna Blanket FAQ
Saunas have been a popular way to relax and detoxify for centuries, but not everyone has access to one. Sauna blankets offer a convenient and affordable way to enjoy many of the same benefits of a traditional sauna in the comfort of your own home.
Sauna blankets are essentially portable saunas that use heat and far-infrared rays to promote relaxation, detoxification, and weight loss. They come in a variety of shapes and sizes, but they all work in essentially the same way: by trapping heat and sweat close to the body, which helps to open up the pores and release toxins.
Is the Sauna Blanket as effective as a regular Infrared Sauna Box?Bon Charge Sauna Blanket delivers full spectrum FAR Infrared Light at the same intensities found in regular box Saunas. The huge benefit of using a Sauna Blanket over a regular Box Infrared Sauna is that it does not take up much space, its more affordable, can be packed up and stored away, has better hygiene, and privacy from others and gets much hotter.What benefits can I get from the Infrared Sauna Blanket?Infrared sauna blankets are popular for their potential benefits, including:
Detoxification: Sweating induced by the blanket helps eliminate toxins and impurities from the body.
Relaxation: The heat from the blanket can promote relaxation and reduce stress.
Weight loss: Sweating can help burn calories, potentially aiding in weight loss efforts.
Pain relief: The infrared heat can help ease muscle soreness and joint pain.
Skin health: The blanket can improve the appearance of the skin by promoting circulation and reducing inflammation.
Improved sleep: Relaxation induced by the blanket may lead to better sleep quality.
How do I clean the Infrared Sauna Blanket?To clean the infrared sauna blanket, follow these steps:Turn off and unplug the blanket from the power source and let it cool down completely.Wipe down the blanket with a damp cloth or sponge, using a gentle cleaning solution if necessary. Be sure not to soak the blanket.Allow the blanket and cover (if applicable) to air dry completely before storing or using it again.It’s important to follow the manufacturer’s instructions for cleaning and maintenance to avoid damaging the blanket and ensure its longevity. Additionally, it’s a good idea to clean the blanket after each use to prevent the buildup of sweat and bacteria.
How often should I use an infrared sauna?For most healthy individuals, it is generally safe to use an infrared sauna 2-3 times per week for 20-30 minutes at a time. However, it’s important to listen to your body and not push yourself too hard, especially if you’re new to using an infrared sauna.
If you have any medical conditions, it’s important to consult with a healthcare professional before using an infrared sauna, as some conditions may be contraindicated or require special precautions. Additionally, pregnant women, individuals with implanted medical devices, and those with acute injuries should avoid using an infrared sauna.
Why Bon Charge Sauna Blanket vs Others?Bon Charge’s Sauna Blanket reaches the highest temperatures on the market, 176 Fahrenheit. Bon Charge Sauna Blanket also has the lowest EMF on the market, 5x less than some leading brands, making it the safest choice for your Sauna session.WHERE TO GET A SAUNA BLANKETWe do not have a lot of space at our Keto Condo in Maui so a sauna blanket was perfect for getting all the benefits without taking up space!

Croque Monsieur Protein Bread Pudding
Easter is coming! I love Easter brunch and the past few years it always includes a recipe using my protein sparing bread! This year I am making my protein sparing bread Croque Monsieur Bread Pudding!
Croque Monsieur bread pudding is filled with ham, Gruyere cheese, onions, garlic and thyme.
My son Kai did not want to be the taste tester for this but once he took a bite, he quickly asked for a large piece!
To make my protein bread for Croque Monsieur Bread Pudding, I used Further Food Gelatin!
Further Food gelatin and collagen peptides are both excellent sources of collagen. Both their Collagen & Gelatin are sourced from the highest quality, grass-fed, pasture-raised, hormone-free, and antibiotic free bovine collagen.
The benefits of collagen and gelatin are astounding! Just eating my delicious Protein Sparing Bread helps support skin elasticity & hydration, longer hair & nails, stronger bones & joints, faster recovery between workouts, increased flexibility, improved digestion, and it even keeps you feeling full and satiated for longer!
Further Food Collagen Peptides dissolve instantly in any recipe, and Gelatin Powder naturally thickens recipes. It’s perfect for making my protein sparing bread have a chewy bread texture! It also makes dairy free ice cream, jello, sugar free gummies, no bake cheesecake, or panna cotta!

Add the allulose, gelatin, salt and cream of tartar if using and whip the whites for a few minutes until VERY stiff.Turn the mixer to low and gently mix the egg white protein powder into the whites.Note: If adding yolks, lightly combine. But note, the yolks will increase fat and can increase likelihood of falling.Grease a bread pan with avocado oil spray and fill with Chewy Protein Sparing Bread mixture.Bake for 30 minutes or until golden brown. Turn oven off and leave bread in the oven for 15 minutes to avoid the bread from falling.Let completely cool before cutting or the bread will fall. Cut into cubes and set aside.To make the Croque Monsieur Bread pudding, place the butter flavored coconut oil into a skillet over medium high heat. Add the chopped onions and saute for 3 minutes. Add the garlic and thyme and saute another minute. Remove from heat and set aside.In a large bowl, place the eggs, cream, broth, Dijon, hot sauce, and salt. Stir well to combine.Spray avocado oil spray into a 11 by 7 inch baking dish. Place half of the cubed bread into the dish. Top with half of the shredded Gruyere cheese, diced ham and half of the onion mixture. Repeat with another layer of bread, cheese, ham and onion mixture. Pour the egg mixture into the dish to cover the bread. Cover and refrigerate for 3 hours or overnight.When ready to bake, preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Bake for 30 minutes, then remove from the oven and sprinkle the Parmesan on top and increase the temperature to 375°F. Bake for another 15 minutes or until Parmesan is golden.Remove from oven and allow to sit for 5 minutes before slicing.

NEW Triple Coaching Certification – Keto, Carnivore and Protein Sparing Modified Fast!
“Hi Maria and Craig! Thank you so much for creating the keto coach/supplements add on courses. The information you provided in this course was absolutely invaluable.
I am currently studying a Bachelor of Nutrition and Dietetics, alongside a Bachelor of Biomedical science, and I can tell you, I have learnt more in your course about nutrition and healing people with food, than either of these two courses have offered me so far! ” – Nicola
Spring 2023 Enrollment Now Open!
“Having been in the carnivore and ketogenic space for over 7 years, I came to the Keto-Adapted coaching programs with a decent amount of knowledge and an established coaching business. What I didn’t realize was how much more I was about to absorb, learn and use in my own coaching practice. The courses themselves, and the incredible bonus content, have ramped up my knowledge considerably, especially with difficult health situations I might not have yet encountered.
Alongside the courses is the added benefit of getting time with Maria and Craig to ask questions, receive guidance and stay current in the industry with any changes and philosophies.
Being part of the coaches Q&A forum also allows me to get my questions answered quickly, ultimately not only benefiting myself but also my clients.
The Keto-Adapted coaching programs are a great tool to help set yourself up for success at a value unheard of compared to similar programs.
Every coach needs mentors and I am honored that The Emmerich’s are a significant part of mine.” Lisa

“To expand my nutritional health knowledge and make me a better coach, I was looking for a health coaching program that would provide a solid foundation in the science and functional medical aspects of Ketogenic and Carnivore diets, and Supplements. With integrity, this course by the Emmerich’s included many peer reviewed studies, medical articles and presentations to confirm the information that was being taught. Maria and Craig taught me the nutritional healthy way to coach my clients into a new lifestyle. They share how to overcome anticipated obstacles, dispel myths and mistakes which will help my clients succeed. This challenging program was very well done with step by step videos to make the large amount of information manageable. The weekly coaching calls and access to large database of questions and answers helped me get answers to things I was not sure about. Maria and Craig responded to my questions quickly if I did not find them on the coaches Q&A page.
The meal plans and thousands of recipes I was given access to changed my perspective on what it is to eat healthy and still have delicious options in any food category. Little did I know that this exceptional coaching program would change my health as well. I am not longer on thyroid medication and am no longer pre-diabetic. Maria and Craig are a true inspiration with all of the hard work and creativity they put into the program and their recipes. From their teaching, I am grateful to now have the ability to help my clients on a broader level.
If you’re looking for a professional, science based, turn key program to start or enhance your coaching program and your health I would highly recommend Maria & Craig Emmerich’s Keto Adapted coaching program.” Cari Kamp

It was a huge game changer and I am able to help clients reach goals that were impossible to achieve without the Emmerich info. Best program ever! Don’t waist time with anything else.

“I decided to get certified in keto/carnivore and just wanted to let this group know of the hard work Maria and Craig Emmerich have put into their program. The most impressive part is they share their information with everyone on this group for free. I feel their passion. I’m very excited making this step into my health and future.
I have been following them for about 6 months after coming from another keto group that carb cycles. It was not working for me. Not only have I lost weight but I lost pain and can finally workout and not have to take a week off because I’m so exhausted. I’m almost 55 with a neck fusion c5-c6 and I haven’t had a headache in almost 2 months. I had headaches every single day for years. I have only had 1 migraine this year.Eternally grateful for the information you you both provide.” – KimCLICK HERE to get your spot! Space is limited!

Doesn’t Katie look AMAZING? I am SO proud of her! In ONLY 3 months she transformed her life!“I found Maria Emmerich many years ago when I completed The 30 Day Ketogenic Cleanse. Little did I know I was preparing for my daughter.Back in August she started to complain about stomach pains, which I blamed on being nervous of the new school year. Fast forward to the end of September and it was blatantly obvious there was something wrong.As a former failure to thrive infant, I was grateful she was growing, even though I knew she was overweight. After several rounds of blood work, ultra sounds, x-rays and specialists (which we are still seeing to make sure she doesn’t have anything autoimmune), she was diagnosed with a severely inflamed liver and fatty liver. After reading on the disease, I realized that going dairy free, and “clean” keto, would be her best bet.So, we’ve been making Maria’s recipes from her Sugar-free Kids cookbook and she’s down almost 20lbs and feeling a 10000000% better (the before photo was taken 3 months ago). She was almost into a girls 14/16, but is now a size 8/10. Our new way of eating (Maria’s Keto) has made her feel so much better than she now packs her lunch for school and helps me plan our meals for the week.I’m so thankful to have found Maria many years ago! She will quickly tell you we aren’t on a diet, we just have a new way of eating so ourbellies don’t hurt anymore.Thank you so much Maria Emmerich!

Benefits of Saunas after Workouts
Saunas are wonderful for many reasons but in this post I want to focus on sauna benefits for those of you working out.
Before I jump into the benefits of saunas after workouts, I want all of you to understand that more is not always better. Be careful when doing saunas after workouts. Limit sauna time to no longer than 20 minutes to avoid over-exerting your body. If you have never used a sauna before or are new to sauna, start with shorter periods of time. Listen to your body, it will tell you if you’re spending too long in the sauna after workouts.
I highly suggest to drink at least one full glass of water before and after using a sauna, to avoid dehydration, especially after a workout. Do not drink alcohol or use recreational drugs before, during, or after sauna use. I also suggest to not eat a large meal prior to using a sauna.
TOP BENEFITS1. Promotes Muscle Recovery
A good workout can often cause muscle soreness over the next few days; especially if it is a new muscle group you are working on. Sore muscles can slow down your progress if you decide to skip working out because of the pain and soreness can be a drag! Doing a sauna after your workout can really reduce delayed onset muscle soreness; also known as DOMS.
Saunas help speed recovery and reduce soreness because saunas increase circulation, which brings more oxygen-rich blood to your muscles and can help speed up muscle recovery.
2. Improves Cardiovascular Health
Using a sauna after a workout can also help to improve your cardiovascular health. The heat from the sauna helps to increase your heart rate, which can help to improve circulation and oxygen delivery to your muscles. This can also help to improve your endurance and overall cardiovascular health.
This study published by the Mayo Clinic reviewed all existing evidence of the sauna’s ability to improve cardiovascular health. It states, “Beyond pleasure and relaxation, emerging evidence suggests that sauna bathing has several health benefits, which include reduction in the risk of vascular diseases such as high blood pressure, cardiovascular disease (CVD), stroke, and neuro-cognitive diseases.”
Another study of over 2,000 men in Finland, where saunas are super popular, found that sauna use lowered risk of dying from heart disease as well as “all-cause mortality.” Spending time in the sauna decreased their chances of dying of any other cause.
3. Reduces Stress
Working out can be a great way to relieve stress, but using a sauna after your workout can take your stress relief to the next level. Saunas help to reduce stress by promoting relaxation and releasing endorphins, which are natural mood-boosters. This can help to reduce stress and anxiety, leaving you feeling more relaxed and refreshed after your workout.
4. Detoxifies the Body
Saunas can also help to detoxify the body by promoting sweating. Sweating helps to remove toxins from the body, including heavy metals and other harmful substances. This can help to improve your overall health and wellbeing, leaving you feeling refreshed and rejuvenated after your workout.
5. Boosts the Immune System
Using a sauna after a workout can also help to boost your immune system. The heat from the sauna helps to increase white blood cell production, which can help to fight off infections and other illnesses. This can help to keep you healthy and reduce your risk of getting sick.
Using a sauna after working out has a host of benefits. From promoting muscle recovery to reducing stress and boosting the immune system, saunas are a great way to help your body recover after a workout. If you haven’t tried using a sauna after your workout, give it a try and see how it can benefit your health and wellbeing. Using a sauna blanket makes it much more affordable and easy to use and store as well!
WHERE TO GET A SAUNA BLANKETWe do not have a lot of space at our Keto Condo in Maui so a sauna blanket was perfect for getting all the benefits without taking up space!
What I love about Bon Charge is their constant searching for creating products that really can enhance our health and wellness! BON CHARGE products help you naturally address the issues of our modern-day way of life effortlessly and with maximum impact.

Easy Homemade Deli Meat
I’ve had recipes for decades using deli meat such as my protein noodle lasagna, protein sparing chips, protein noodle pad Thai, protein noodle soup and even enchiladas! But through the years, my favorite healthy brands started to add fillers and sugar. That’s why I needed to write a recipe and I wanted an easy recipe for homemade deli meat!
The recipe to make homemade deli meat was intimidating to me at first. Then my new friend Aubrey, who came on my keto trip to Greece send me her step by step photos. We keep in contact and text almost daily. She showed me how easy, affordable and healthy making homemade deli meat can be! I am grateful for Aubrey!
TESTIMONY ABOUT MY EASY HOMEMADE DELI MEAT
HOW TO MAKE DELI MEAT IN AN INSTANT POT“Cost me 13$ to make 2 pounds cooked. (I got the chicken on sale). I can get the same amount of deli meat at Costco for $20, but the pre-sliced is way thicker and hard on the teeth. It also isn’t perfectly clean. So, I saved money AND have clean deli meat! Only takes a little work! I love that I can adjust the thickness and seasoning! And it tastes WAY better!” Aubrey
If you do not want to go through the trouble of boiling a pot of water for an hour, you can use an Instant Pot!
Spray 2 wide mouth canning jars with avocado oil spray and place the pureed chicken into them. Put on lids onto the jars. Pour a cup of water into the bottom on the Instant Pot. Place a trivet into the bottom and place the jars on the trivet. Press Manual and pressure cook for 20 min. Once finished, place the jars in the fridge for 8 hours before removing and slicing.
TIPS ON MAKING HOMEMADE DELI MEATAs you can see in my photos, I have a lot of holes. This is user error. I should have pressed the pureed chicken into the meat press as I added it. After I made a few batches, I found that when I packed it tightly, I didn’t get the holes.

“Every morning when I get up I thank God for Maria and Craig Emmerich !
I will never be able to convey my thanks for showing me the way to lose weight.
I tried every diet possible, I was in TOPS (Take Off Pounds Sensibly)at the age of 12, I tried WW, and a few other well known diet programs. None of them ever worked long term. I’d lose a few pounds and gain it right back.
Wish I could send you a huge bouquet of flowers Maria, but once again I will just send you my thanks and deepest gratitude!
I don’t have many pictures of myself at 420+ pounds. So I have to go way back to find pictures to share.
Hit 200 pounds this morning. I have to say it feels unbelievable!” – Felicia

“Thank you Maria! Today marks one year exactly of deciding to make a change!!
I’ve lost 85 pounds, have no more swelling in my ankles, no more pain in my knees or back (I used to be in pain when I laid down at night, and woke up in pain in the morning), I can breathe when I lay down because my chest and neck aren’t suffocating me!
I have the energy and mood stability to be a great single mom to my three kids who are now 8, 6 and 4, I get out kayaking for fun, just finished a five day cycling trip, and am entered in my first Spartan obstacle race, all while maintaining a 3.85 GPA in my post secondary courses!
The scale doesn’t even matter anymore, because I’m finally living the life I want! I’m happy to get up every day and just live!
Maria and Craig Emmerich certainly understand how our bodies work best and I am eternally grateful that I started with them rather than all the crazy ways others try to “do keto”.
I can’t wait to see where I am at in another year!!” – Stephanie

How to Naturally Increase Your Human Growth Hormone
I am always on the pursuit to enhancing my health.
One thing that I have been really interested in lately is increasing my HGH (Human Growth Hormone) production.
Click HERE to get a Sauna Blanket for 20% off!WHAT IS HUMAN GROWTH HORMONEGrowth hormone is synthesized by the pituitary gland, located at the base of the brain. HGH has many benefits for body composition, sexual and mental health.
Human Growth Hormone is our hormone that helps with bone health, recovery, muscle building, tissue regeneration after injury as well as fat burning. It is a peptide hormone that stimulates the liver to produce insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1); along with Growth Hormone, it promotes tissue development and cell reproduction.
Do I have your attention now?
Yes, the human growth hormone is helpful in many ways but do not go out and purchase growth hormone supplements on the internet. Instead, use healthy natural ways to increase HGH. The higher your levels of HGH, the healthier and stronger you will be.
HGH declines with age and there are reasons to be interested in increasing it. Let’s look at some ways to increase HGH naturally.
HOW TO NATURALLY INCREASE HUMAN GROWTH HORMONEThere are some really powerful ways to increase human growth hormone naturally.
ExerciseDo not eat 3 hours before bed (no wine either or any drinks with calories either)SaunaThe increase of HGH levels is found to be large enough to remain heightened after an hour for most people.
Sauna has the capability to increase Human Growth Hormone up to 200-300%! (source) That is huge!
Sauna use combined with exercise have a double bonus increase in HGH as well as brain-derived neurotrophic factor, which is awesome for your brain and cognition. Studies have shown that sauna can increase norepinephrine between 300-500% and prolactin up to 500%!! This results in increased brain activity and betterment of learning, memory, and ameliorating depression & anxiety stimulating the beta-endorphin system.
WHERE TO GET A SAUNA BLANKETWe do not have a lot of space at our Keto Condo in Maui so a sauna blanket was perfect for getting all the benefits without taking up space!
