Protein Tiramisu Mug Cake

To make my easy protein tiramisu mug cake, all you have to do is toss everything into a bowl and mix it until smooth.
The secret ingredient in my protein tiramisu is Equip Prime Protein! The iced coffee Equip protein powder gives this tiramisu mug cake the most delicious flavor and it is a great way to get your protein in the morning! The first meal of the day is really important to hit at least 30 grams of protein which can be difficult with the standard American diet.
One easy way to boost your protein intakes is to add Equip Prime Protein to delicious recipes like protein tiramisu mug cake!

Carnivore Bagel Board
It warms my heart to see everyone LOVING my carnivore bagels. It is crazy how delicious these bites of heaven turn out! You don’t even know they are made from beef and chicken!
CARNIVORE BAGEL BOARD TIPSIf you do not have ground beef, you can just use double the chicken breasts in the recipe (or vice versa and use double the ground beef).If you want a cleaner bagel board, you can place the cream cheese into a large bowl as well as the smoked salmon and other ingredients.
To make my Carnivore Bagels, 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 Carnivore Bagels 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 carnivore bagels have a chewy bread texture! It also makes dairy free ice cream, jello, sugar free gummies, no bake cheesecake, or panna cotta!

The BEST Mother’s Day Gift
Craig and the boys have a yearly tradition of making me a special Slide Show and video for Mother’s Day. It is truly such a special gift! In addition to this, they usually surprise me with something I can use to pamper myself. Since entering my 40’s, I am always on the pursuit of natural anti-aging products. What better natural anti-aging product to share with YOUR mom than a Bon Charge Red Light Face Mask?
Red Light Face Mask BenefitsI use my Bon Charge Red Light Face Mask daily! I love that red light therapy is a natural way to help improve my skin!
Red light helps with collagen production, reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, helps eliminate acne, and it accelerates wound healing. Unlike invasive cosmetic procedures or harsh chemical treatments, red light face masks offer a non-invasive, gentle approach to skincare. Red light masks do not require any downtime or recovery period, making them suitable for all skin types. I love that I can use my red light mask daily without having down time like most cosmetic procedures. Incorporating red light therapy into your skincare routine can help you achieve a radiant, youthful complexion and boost your confidence. Your mom is going to love this!
OTHER RED LIGHT FACE MASK BENEFITS:-Wrinkles and Fine Lines

-Eczema
-Migraines
-Acne
-Scar Tissue

I’ve tried other red light face masks in the past, but they were all hard plastic, bulky, and did not fit well. I had an idea for a softer, more comfortable mask so I emailed my friend Andy who owns Bon Charge that I wish he offered a soft red light mask. I know he is always on the pursuit of health so I figured he would be interested in such a product. Within months, he created the best red light mask and I use mine daily!
Andy is so generous, he is offering the LARGEST discount to my readers!

Mango Chili Ceviche
When I was on my keto retreat in Costa Rica, many of the people on my trip ordered ceviche but we found out they added Ginger Ale soda to the mixture so they always asked for Ceviche without soda. We started talking and one of the group members named Kim (who is also one of my certified health coaches) mentioned she likes to put LMNT in her ceviche and I thought that was brilliant! I must try that!
HOW TO MAKE MANGO CHILI CEVICHETo make my delicious Mango Chili Ceviche, I used Mango Chili LMNT!
It is unbelievable how perfect using LMNT works for tasty ceviche!
It’s great having LMNT as a healthy option for people. I have been consulting clients for over 20 years now and in the past, I would get a lot of parents asking me what their kids can drink if I do not recommend Gatorade. Now I recommend LMNT! It is like Gatorade without the sugar or food dye and it works perfect to pack when traveling.

“I have been hesitant to post these photos. I have gone back and forth about it for a week. However, with all these Ozempic commercials I keep seeing lately, I feel like it is important to show people that you CAN loose body fat naturally, without those injections, quick fix supplements, starving yourself, stomach stapling procedures, or over exercising. I have been struggling with inflammation, fatigue, swelling, Lymphedema, Lipedema, Hormone Imbalance, Severe Endometriosis, Pre-diabetic Blood Sugar levels, extremely low Thyroid, low Testosterone, and Chronic Lyme Disease, since at least my 20’s.
Following a clean high fat Keto diet alone, without tracking anything, addressed many of those concerns, but my body fat composition and energy levels still weren’t optimal. My fat loss was extremely slow until I finally broke down and calculated my Macros, using a free calculator tool from a keto nutritionist I follow on Facebook, @Keto-Adapted Maria Emmerich. I had always been resistant to doing that in the past, but nothing else seemed to be working. This is when most people get discouraged and say “KETO doesn’t work for me anymore”.
Once I calculated the numbers for my age, height, and activity level, and started tracking, I realized the protein levels I had been consuming were way too low and my fat levels had been too high, for fat loss. After making those adjustments, it was like a fat burning switch had been turned on. Even without working out for 3 weeks, while recovering from leg vein surgery, I was consistently dropping inches. I don’t weigh myself, but I do track my measurements and wow, what a difference. My clothes were falling off by October and I had to upgrade my wardrobe, because my previously tight leggings were too big. Plus, my Cholesterol and A1C levels dropped to optimal levels!!!
If you have been frustrated with your own health journey and want to give up, don’t. Take this as your sign to keep going! All those little things you are doing, to improve your well-being, add up. You are worth it!” ~Melissa Baer

Blendtec Blender
My hard boiled egg pudding recipe is a very popular recipe around the world! It warms my heart that everyone loves it so much! However, some people said it was too grainy. It will be grainy if you do not have a great blender!
I use my blender daily! No lie. I use it for everything. I make my sauces in it, salad dressings (my Ranch Dressing is the best!), my keto soups that I want pureed, and it makes my hard boiled egg pudding into the creamiest chocolate mousse!
Yes, a quality blender is a pricy gift, but I went through a cheap blender almost every year. My blender has lasted over 10 years! It is good investment in my mind!

My eBooks
Did you know I saved my BEST keto recipes for my ebooks?
I do this because ebooks help out my small family more than my published books (which most of the profit goes to the publisher and the seller).
If you would like to make a difference and support a small family rather than making a minuscule sale for a large company, I am happy to announce that you can get my books as a high quality ebook that works on any platform (all done by my wonderful husband!).
This is an ebook format that works on any computer or mobile device. It is a beautiful pdf that has all the full color pages and layouts as the printed books with click-able table of contents and searching capabilities. This is extremely useful when trying to find a recipe. These books are much higher quality than the ebook platforms (kindle, apple). Plus, most of the profits don’t go to Amazon or apple!

“I first started following Maria in 2015 when I was sick, sad, and miserable. Like many of us, I bumbled around various types of keto. Honestly, I struggled with the “strictness” of Emmerich keto.
After 3 years and minimal success, I decided I needed to commit or live as I was. I went all in and immersed myself in all things Emmerich keto! Seven months later, I’d met my weight loss goal and dropped four sizes. I continued to lose in maintenance and lost another 25 lbs. But even better…I put three autoimmune diseases into remission, went off 20+ meds/day, resolved years of chronic inflammation, IBS, and insomnia, and found my healthy, happy self again!
At 61, I feel better than I have since I was a small child. I work full time, ride a motorcycle, garden, and exercise. The Emmerichs helped me save my life, and their knowledge and programs can help you achieve your goals, too. When you think you can’t, I am here to remind you that you can

Easy French Toast Custard

Anyone else love French Toast? It was probably my favorite breakfast growing up and I still love it with my protein bread!
If you love French toast too, but you do not want to go to the trouble of making my PSMF bread, you must try this recipe!
TIPS ON MAKING FRENCH TOAST CUSTARDYes, this custard is rich and delicious and perfect for a decadent dessert to serve at a dinner party; however, if you are looking for ways to make my custard lower in fat to fit your macros, I suggest to use boxed coconut milk that is very low in fat and calories.
You can also use one whole egg instead of 2 egg yolks to help lower the fat and increase protein.
HOW TO MAKE FRENCH TOAST CUSTARDTo make my easy French Toast Custard, I used Further Food collagen and gelatin!
Collagen helps make the keto custard to form into a delicious scoop of goodness and do not skip the gelatin because it helps create a thick custard.
I love Further Food gelatin and their collagen is my favorite! You are going to love my yummy healthy custard!
Further Food is SO generous that they are doing a special discount for all of my readers!Use code: MARIAMINDBODY for 18% off EVERY ORDER!Click HERE to get Further Food Products!
