Long time no recipe guys!!! Between podcasting, starting my new company and blazing through life like I’m living on rocket-fuel it’s been a tad busy!
BUT… I managed to make a BOMB breakfast for the boys the other morning and I wanted to share!
I am loving the Keto WOE and getting creative when it comes to treats is my “bacon and butta’ “!
This recipe uses a special little ingredient, Grass Fed Collagen Protein. While Collagen isn’t the best muscle building protein, the amino acids are specifically great for joints, ligaments, tendons, healthy hair and tissues. And this protein cooks up without causing dryness like Whey can and also has added MCT (medium chain triglycerides) to give you even more high performing fat burning fuel!
