Coconut Mocha Collagen Fat Bombs
by Dr. Kellyann
on May 08 2018
Coffee is a flavor enhancer for chocolate because it adds a depth and richness to chocolate. Bakers use this trick for adding depth to their chocolate recipes. It’s common to add a bit of espresso powder to chocolate recipes. In fact, coffee can be added in a small amount and make a big difference without creating a mocha flavor. I’ve heard it described as interplay of smoky, bitter, and rich that marries chocolate and coffee so well.
Combine coffee, chocolate and coconut and you have yourself a sinfully delicious, yet low-carb, treat with no added sugars. Keep in mind that the collagen bombs are full of good healthy fat, but coconut oil liquefies when it gets warm. So to keep your bombs solid, keep them in the refrigerator or freezer. I prefer the freezer because they are easier to remove from the pan, muffin tin, or candy molds. Within a minute they’re ready to enjoy. And they are literally melt-in-your-mouth delicious.
Prep time: 5 mins ● Cook time: 3 mins (optional) ● Yield: About 12 tablespoon-size servings
Ingredients:
¼ cup coconut oil
½ cup canned full-fat coconut milk
1 scoop or 1 packet Chocolate Collagen Shake™ or 1 packet Collagen Hot Cocoa™
1 packet Instant Collagen Coffee™
⅛ cup shredded unsweetened coconut, and optionally more for sprinkling on top
Directions: In a small saucepan heat coconut oil on low until melted. You can also microwave the coconut oil for about 30 seconds until melted. If you live in a warm climate, you may not need to melt the coconut oil if it is already liquefied. Stir together all ingredients. Pour into an 8” x 8” pan, mini muffin tins, or silicone/plastic candy molds. Top with additional coconut if desired. Freeze until firm. These bombs melt quickly out of the freezer, so take them out just before serving.
Enjoy!

Vanilla Latte Collagen Mug Cake
by Dr. Kellyann
on Apr 27 2018
The texture of my collagen-rich mug cake is more cake-like than others I’ve tried thanks to baking powder. The cake will rise over the top of the mug while baking (use a really big mug to prevent it from spilling over), and will have a very moist cake-like texture.
The mug and the cake WILL BE EXTREMELY HOT when you remove it from the microwave. I know you’re going to be tempted to dig in, but wait a minute or two so you don’t burn yourself! Enjoy your latte in a mug… as a cake! Rich in protein and collagen and loaded with intense flavors, you’ll begin to think about your latte in a new way.
Vanilla Latte Collagen Mug Cake
Prep time: 5 mins ● Cook time: 2 to 2½ mins ● Yield: 1 serving
Ingredients:
¼ cup almond flour
½ mashed banana (optional)
1 egg
1 scoop Vanilla Bone Broth Protein
1 packet Collagen Coffee
½ teaspoon baking powder
Coconut oil pan spray
Directions: Combine all ingredients in a small bowl. Spray a large coffee mug with coconut oil. Pour in cake mix. Microwave for about 2½ minutes if you use the banana or about 2 minutes without the banana. The cake will rise up above the mug as it bakes, but will deflate when done cooking. Let cool for a few minutes before enjoying. The mug will be extremely hot.
Enjoy!

Pecan-Crusted Chicken with Homestyle Applesauce
by Dr. Kellyann
on Aug 20 2017
This Pecan-Crusted Chicken with Homestyle Applesauce Recipe is from the bestselling Dr. Kellyann’s Bone Broth Cookbook.
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 25 minutes
Yield: 4 servings
Portions: 1 protein, 1/2 fat, 1 fruit
Elevate your chicken breast with a crunchy nut crust. Chunky cinnamon-spiced applesauce makes a sweet side for this Pecan-Crusted Chicken with Homestyle Applesauce
For the applesauce:
2 apples, such as McIntosh or Golden Delicious peeled (or leave on the peels for extra fiber), cored, and cut into 1/2-to 1-inch chunks.
Pinch of ground cinnamon
For the chicken:
1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 teaspoon Celtic or pink Himalayan salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 large egg
1/2 cup ground or very finely chopped pecans
2 tablespoons olive or coconut oil
For the applesauce: In a medium saucepan, combine the apples, 2 tablespoons water, and the cinnamon. Cover and cook over medium-low heat until the apples are very tender, about 25 minutes. Stir to smash the apples into a chunky sauce. Cover and set aside to keep warm. Stir before using.
For the chicken: Cut each breast crosswise into thirds. Place the pieces between 2 sheets of plastic wrap or in a zip-top plastic bag and pound with a meat mallet or heavy skillet until an even 1/2 inch thick. Season the pieces with 1/2 teaspoon of the salt and 1/2 teaspoon of the pepper. Set aside.
In a shallow bowl or pie plate, lightly beat the egg with 1/4 teaspoon of the salt and 1/4 teaspoon of the pepper. In a separate bowl, combine the pecans and the remaining 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper.
Dip each cutlet into the egg mixture, evenly coating both sides and allowing excess egg to drop off. Dredge in the pecan mixture, pressing lightly to coat both sides.
In a skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of the oil over medium heat. Add half the chicken and cook until deep golden on both sides and no longer pink, about 5 minutes per side. Wipe out the pan and repeat with the remaining oil and chicken.
Serve with the warm applesauce.
Enjoy!

Prep time: 20 mins • Cook time: 25 mins • Yield: 6 servings
Ingredients:
4 pound whole chicken, giblets removed and chicken rinsed
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon pasture-raised butter or ghee, melted
1 teaspoon Celtic or Pink Himalayan salt
½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 cup chicken bone broth
½ lemon, cut in slices
½ yellow onion, quartered
2 cloves garlic
Several sprigs of fresh thyme, fresh rosemary, Italian parsley, and fresh sage

Put the lemons, onions, garlic, and fresh herbs into the cavity of the chicken and return to the cooker. If your cooker has a rack, place chicken on rack; it makes removing the chicken from the pot easier. Using your cooker’s instructions, bring the cooker up to full pressure. Reduce heat to low, maintaining full pressure, and cook for 20 minutes. Allow to naturally release and test the chicken for doneness. A thermometer inserted into the thigh should register at least 170 degrees Fahrenheit.
If necessary, bring the cooker back to full pressure and cook for another 5 to 10 minutes. Quick release and recheck the temperature. Transfer the chicken to a plate or carving board, tent with foil and allow to rest. If desired, strain and degrease the broth using a fat separator. Carve the chicken and pour part of the broth on the carved meat and serve the rest on the side.
Note: *If your electric pressure cooker does not have sauté setting, brown chicken in a skillet on the stove top. If you are using a non-electric pressure cooker that you use on the stove top, you can sauté in the same pot.
