Dr Jockers Comments:
Many people struggle to digest nuts and must stay off of them for at least a period of time in order to get well. My autoimmune nutrition plan takes out all nuts for 30-90 days before reintroduction in order to reduce inflammation and improve gut health. This recipe allows these individuals to still enjoy the smooth and buttery flavor of nut butter on a nut-free diet.
This recipe is loaded with good fats, clean proteins, antioxidants and enzymes. This digests very well as the vast majority of the fats are from coconut which is full of MCT’s which do not depend on bile for breakdown. This is easier on the digestive system than typical nut butters and is full of fat burning ingredients you will love.
I make this using my Chocolate or Vanilla flavored Gut Healing Protein, which is basically a super multi-vitamin with high quality, hypo-allergenic, vegan protein powder and a number of gut and liver cleansing ingredients. You can also try using our bone broth protein for high quality collagen protein.
Hi Dr. Jockers,
I’ve noticed that you recommend a lot of the Garden of Life products. They may have at one time been good quality products but the Raw Protein Powders in February 2014 were found to have very high levels of heavy metals according to Mike Adams from the Natural News Forensic Food Lab. Because of the company’s reaction after this news came out, can the company really be trusted? I have also heard of people getting sick after consuming the Raw vitamin supplements.
Do you have a healthy, clean alternative to the Garden of Life products in your recipes?
I am just going to use my shakeology instead.
I was wondereng what is your collegan made out of?
It is made out of grass-fed beef joint collagen (like bone broth). Check it out here: https://store.drjockers.com/products/collagen-protein-1?variant=6440663361
Is your collagen unflavored? Also, do you offer chicken collagen/protein products since I can’t do beef? Also a lot of your recipes call for eggs. Being on the AIP protocol I cant do eggs and I have an intolerance to them. Can gelatin be used in place of eggs? Your response is greatly appreciated!
Hi Miko, Yes, the collagen is unflavored but it is sourced from beef. In this article I offer substitutions for baking without eggs: https://drjockers.com/10-substitutions-baking-without-eggs/
