Adaptogenic What?

Have you heard the term adaptogenic thrown around here and there?

Adaptogens are defined as natural substances that have a normalizing effect on bodily processes. My bodily processes could definitely use some normalizing.

Let's kick it up a millenial notch and add adaptogens to coconut butter.
Brain Butter with Smart Sweets Gummy Bears

Yes, adaptogenic coconut butter that makes for the most Insta-worthy food porn. That's where Pearl Butter comes in!

They currently offer:

  •  NP butter (matcha, secret ingredient) for calm alertness
  •  Beauty Butter (pearl, shavegrass, pitaya) collagen boosting for glowing skin
  • Fairy Berry (strawberry, maca) for libido enhancing 
  • Brain Butter (Spirulina, Ginkgo) for a strong, healthy brain, neuroprotective proteins
  • Dirty Butter (coconut charcoal, milk thistle) to strengthen, protect, and love your liver
  • Glow Butter (Turmeric, Ashwaganda, black pepper) to empower your day 


I've tried Brain Butter and aside from being a beautiful blue hue, it tasted just like coconut butter to me, which is a good thing - I love coconut butter!

I also tried NP butter and it had a slight flavor to it which I can't identify, almost earthy, but not too offensive. I've never tried matcha so maybe that was the matcha flavor lol! I still loved it!

I haven't tried the others yet but I'm absolutely obsessed with how beautiful they are and the benefits of adaptogens can't be beat!

P.S. Coconut butter makes a great "magic hard shell" on your smoothie bowls or ice cream.

Gut Healthy Gummy Bears! Keto Friendly

Image
Team Sour or Team Sweet? I'm team sour all the way! These gummies are surprisingly easy to make if you have a gummy bear mold (they're very inexpensive on amazon!) and they have the gut-health benefits of prebiotic fiber and gelatin! First they're sour, then they're sweet. Ingredients: 40g VitaFiber IMO syrup  1 tbsp gelatin liquid stevia to taste (I used orange stevia) 1/2 cup water Directions: Heat the mixture on the stove until bubbling.  Use the dropper to fill the gummy bear molds.  Place in fridge until set.  Just before eating, toss the gummy bears in a mixture of citric acid powder, and granulated sweetener of choice (I used a monk fruit/erythritol blend).  Voila! Sour gummies!

Keto Meringues! Sugar Free!

Image
I recently had the idea to make Meringue cookies and my curiosity was piqued at the idea of making sugar free meringue cookies. I wondered if it would work!  3 calories a piece?! I'll take 10!  I took to Google, and to my surprise there were recipes with Splenda, erythritol, stevia and beyond! I decided to try my hand at sugar free meringues with an erythritol based sweetener I just purchased recently. The brand is Swerve and I purchased it from Luckyvitamin.com. It claims to have no aftertaste! Meringues can be a bit tricky to set up due to humidity and given that it was a hot August day in North Carolina, I think they turned out pretty well! The texture was good on most of them but a few of them were still a bit soft in the middle.  Factors working against me: I didn't have enough egg whites I didn't have cream of tartar I was attempting sugar free I didn't have parchment paper Humidity You may be thinking, why even bother? Well, I don...
