Paleo and Keto Fat Bomb Coconut Brownies (gluten free and dairy free)
I grew up eating southern comfort food and battling the bulge. After college I lost 90 lbs on a low fat diet and cardio exercise. Inspired by my success, I wanted to help others and became a personal trainer for many years. On the outside I looked good but was battling sugar cravings and hunger. In 2010, after years of yo-yo dieting, I was diagnosed with Hashimotos thyroiditis an autoimmune disease where the body attacks its self.
In addition to thyroid medication, I adopted a gluten free and Paleo diet that is higher in fat and lower in carbs which helped my energy, blood sugar and happy moods. Along my healing journey I started to become aware of chemicals in my home and personal care routine and I found natures answer: essential oils that helped me in so many ways physically and emotionally (learn more here).

Keto dark chocolate gelatin pudding –
This nourishing Keto dark chocolate gelatin pudding is so creamy and delicious!
Gelatin is the protein formed after the slow simmering of skin, bones, and cartilage of animals. Gelatin containing broth has been used in healthy traditional cultures for thousands of years as a diet staple. Many clients I work with say they are too busy to make broth so I found a great gelatin that is flavorless from grass fed cows that is processed using low heat. I still think the homemade broth is best but gelatin can be good for busy times. This kind
of gelatin
is a very healthy product that can be used as a natural thickener for soups and smoothies. This recipe uses gelatin in a creamy delicious pudding which makes getting this super food fun and satisfying. Me and my little sister recently made this nourishing dark chocolate gelatin pudding recipe for my 90 year old Grampa and he loved it.

Gelatin- So many benefits!
I have been messing around with gelatin a lot lately trying to make egg free pancakes, but I have not mastered it yet. Already drinking tons of broth each day for my gelatin (see easy recipe). I have learned so much about using powdered gelatin as an egg substitute and have found that the great thing is that it is an instant thickener!
Gelatin is so great for healing the gut and helping with food cravings because it is full of anti-inflammatory amino acids. It also provides collagen for preventing wrinkles and reducing cellulite. Gelatin also helps protein digestion. This brand is tasteless it works perfectly in smoothies and shakes. It has 12 grams of protein in two tablespoons too!
This No Bake Keto Pumpkin Dessert Pudding is perfect for low carb, ketogenic, sugar, gluten, egg and dairy free dieters! Also includes instruction to make it paleo friendly (See notes for that)!
