And, our Beyond Keto Cacao Pumpkin Muffins are full of pumpkin! Ready to try them yourself? They boost real pumpkin, healthy coconut flour, pumpkin spice, cacao nibs and more. Here’s how to make them and why you should. Delicious Beyond Keto Cacao Pumpkin Muffins Ingredients 1 tablespoon avocado or olive oil for the muffin liners 4 large eggs ½ cup organic pure pumpkin puree 4 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted and slightly cooled) 3/4 teaspoon organic liquid stevia (equals about ⅓ cup sugar) 2 teaspoons real vanilla extract 1.5 teaspoons pumpkin spice 6 tablespoons coconut flour 1/4 teaspoon sea salt 1 teaspoon baking powder 1/4 cup cacao nibs OR coconut flakes Instructions Preheat oven to 350°F. Line 6 muffin cups with foil or silicone liners. Spray or wipe liners with oil to prevent sticking (coconut flour can stick especially if you use paper liners). Set aside. Whisk eggs, pumpkin puree, melted butter, stevia, vanilla, and cinnamon in a medium bowl. Add in the coconut flour and salt, mixing patiently until very smooth. Then, mix in the baking powder. Finally, fold in cacao nibs or coconut flakes. Using a 4-tablespoon scoop (1/4 cup), scoop and pour the batter into the prepared muffin cups. Bake muffins until they are set and a toothpick inserted in their center comes out clean, 22-25 minutes. Transfer the muffins to a cooling rack and cool them completely before enjoying them (if they look odd to start, don’t worry – their texture significantly improves as they cool). Muffins can be stored in a sealed container for up to 5 days (but they won’t last!). They also freeze well up to 3 months. Enjoy!

These days, we find it everywhere. In our coffee, in our soups, and certainly in our snacks. Fortunately, offers amazing health benefits (1). Here’s what pumpkin has for your body: 1. Antioxidants Pumpkin contains alpha-carotene, beta-carotene, beta-cryptoxanthin, lutein, and zeaxanthin. These are strong antioxidants, and they will work together to fight free radicals, reduce the risk of cancer, promote heart health, reduce cholesterol-plaque formations, and preserve eye health. In fact, when pumpkins are analyzed, lutein is the most abundant carotenoid therein (2). Lutein and the other carotenoids can protect body organs and tissue from free radical damage and oxidative stress. This is incredibly beneficial as oxidative damages are always related to cancer, premature aging, cataracts, age-related macular degeneration, atherosclerosis, and a series of other degenerative diseases (3). 2. Anti-Inflammatory Nutrients The cell walls of pumpkin contain pectin. Pectin contains components that are highly anti-inflammatory. How does this help you? Anti-inflammatory diets can improve many chronic diseases and symptoms. These include heart disease, joint pain, arthritis, diabetes, metabolic syndrome, asthma, and more. 3. Cellular Health The flesh of the pumpkin is not the only valuable component. Pumpkin seed oil is highly nutritious and beneficial to the body. In fact, pumpkin seed oil has specifically been shown to reduce the risk of cellular overgrowth and unhealth in the prostate, breast, colorectal, gastric, joints, heart, and lungs (4, 5, 6). Amazing! This is a great reason to also buy whole pumpkins, roast, and eat the seeds! 4. Heart-Health Components Pumpkin seeds also contain phytosterols. Phytosterols are the components used in cholesterol-lowering supplements, functional foods, and more. They are often termed plant sterols. What’s more, the carotenoids in pumpkin flesh can protect the heart and other body organs and tissue from free radical damage, oxidative stress, and plaque formation (3). 5. High Energy and More Nutrients Additionally, pumpkin is a great source of fiber, monounsaturated fats, omega-3s, B-vitamins, and copper. B-Vitamins and Copper both play a part in energy production, and can make a difference in your get-up-and-go! Pumpkin Spice Nutrition In addition, the spices used in our homemade pumpkin spice recipe are no nutrition slouches. Individually and together, cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg, and ginger provide anti-inflammatory, digestion, brain, circulation, heart health, anti-cancer, anti-bacterial, and other health benefits. Additionally, it fights free radicals and oxidative stress. Read all about them, and learn how to make your own homemade pumpkin spice here. Cacao Nutrition Lastly, cacao nibs are great for full-body health. In fact, their polyphenols can provide benefits to your heart, brain, and energy levels. Cocoa nibs promote reduced inflammation, reduced oxidative stress and free radicals, cellular health, and neurodegenerative protection. Bottom Line It simply doesn’t get better than this: amazing flavor and amazing health benefits! Our Beyond Keto Pumpkin Muffins are just what the doctor ordered for Autumn. Enjoy!

AHA Publisher — Fri, 04 Mar 2022 08:00:27 +0000

Dr. Don Colbert – If spring had a flavor, what would it be? Fresh greens? Iced tea? Maybe. Or, maybe it would be a beautiful, colorful and nourishing combination of ingredients in our Fresh Keto Fresh Rhubarb & Strawberry Crisp. It’s time to break out the fresh flavors and nourish your body with more fruits and vegetables. It’s never been easier. Here’s how. Fresh Keto Rhubarb and Strawberry Crisp INGREDIENTS For the fruit layer: 1/4 cup granulated keto sugar substitute with 1:1 ratio such as Stevia in the Raw 1 teaspoon xanthan gum 1/8 teaspoon sea salt 4 ounces fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced 8 ounces fresh rhubarb sliced 1 tablespoon lemon juice freshly squeezed For the topping: 3/4 cup finely ground almond flour 2 tablespoons granulated keto sugar substitute with 1:1 ratio such as Stevia in the Raw 1/4 teaspoon baking soda 1/8 teaspoon sea salt 1/2 cup butter cut into chunks 3/4 cup sliced almonds (quantity divided) INSTRUCTIONS For the fruit layer: Preheat oven to 375º Fahrenheit. Add the sweetener, xanthan gum, and sea salt to an 8″ X 8″ baking dish. Whisk to mix well. Add and stir in the strawberries, rhubarb, and lemon juice. Bake mixture in the preheated oven for about 30 minutes, or until the strawberries and rhubarb are tender. Meanwhile, prepare topping. For the topping: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the almond flour, sweetener, baking soda and sea salt. Melt butter. Add it into dry ingredients, mixing well. Stir in 1/2 cup of the almonds. Once strawberries and rhubarb have finished baking, remove them from the oven. Using hands, crumble the topping mixture over the top of fruit. Cover evenly.

Nutrition info (per 1/9th of the crisp): 202 calories, 19 grams fat, 4 grams net carbs (7 grams total carbs, 3 grams fiber), 4 grams protein Keto Rhubarb and Strawberry Crisp for Great Health One of the great blessings of spring is new, fresh, and delicious flavors. After a season of warm comfort foods, it can feel great to add in more seasonal fruits and vegetables. Our Keto Rhubarb and Strawberry Crisp does this with both strawberries and rhubarb. Here’s how. STRAWBERRY (AND OTHER BERRY) NUTRITION Strawberries are a wonderfully nourishing low-carb fruit. In fact, they encourage: High levels of antioxidants. The antioxidants in berries fight oxidative stress in the body, which can reduce oxidized cholesterol and damage from free radicals. Reduced blood pressure. A recent research review found that 100 grams of blueberries consumed daily, for 14 days, was associated with a significant reduction in systolic blood pressure (1). Fiber. Like many fruits and vegetables, berries offer soluble and insoluble fiber, which is great for cholesterol, digestion, and more. Improved cholesterol readings. In a recent study, researchers found daily berry consumption reduced LDL cholesterol, blood pressure, and fasting glucose (2). RHUBARB NUTRITION Next, rhubarb is a vegetable (yes, a vegetable) with a lot of nutrition to offer. It provides: Vitamin K for Bone Health. Vitamin K is an important nutrient for both blood and bone health. In fact, Vitamin K2 has been linked to stronger bones, improved fracture healing and reduced fracture incidence in post-menopausal women (3). Vitamin A Antioxidant Power. Along with vitamin K, rhubarb delivers a healthy dose of vitamin A. Vitamin A is a powerful antioxidant that fights oxidative stress and the degradation of cells and tissues in the body.* Fiber and Antioxidants for Optimal Cholesterol. Rhubarb provides both fiber and powerful antioxidants for optimal cholesterol levels. First, fiber absorbs some cholesterol from bile and eliminates it. Meanwhile strong antioxidants like resveratrol reduce cholesterol oxidation and plaque formation (4). Sennocides and Fiber for Great Digestion. Rhubarb promotes balanced and healthy digestion with fiber, sennosides, and tannins. Fiber keeps the gut strong and healthy. Sennosides act as natural, gentle laxatives, while tannins provide anti-diarrheal effects (5). Anti-Inflammatories for Full Body Health. Rhubarb’s antioxidants also promote reduced inflammation in the body. Inflammation is at the core of most modern chronic health concerns. Eating a diet high in anti-inflammatory nutrients promotes prevention and whole-body health.* Get More Fruits & Vegetables Every Day What’s more, Divine Health makes it easy to double or triple your fruit and vegetable intake each day with our low-carb, high nutrition powders.
