If you’re like most of us, then you probably ate bread almost daily before starting the keto diet. Giving it up is one of our biggest complaints!
The problem is that most bread is high in carbs and contains inflammatory ingredients, such as wheat or enriched flours. What if you could find bread that is nutritious, low-carb, high-fat, and loaded with protein to make a perfect keto snack and go well with your tea and coffee?
Well, this keto collagen bread is exactly that. The collagen protein powder used in this recipe is necessary for the density as well as for revolutionizing your health.
Collagen is a type of protein that is needed for the proper functioning of the whole body. It makes up 25-35% of the protein content in your body. It supports the skin elasticity and helps us look younger.
Research shows that collagen also supports joint health and can be used to treat joint pain and disease (1). This is because collagen is located in your connective tissues and supports your skeletal structure.
According to one study, collagen supplementation can help reduce the risk of joint deterioration in high-risk groups (2). Collagen is also useful for wound healing and skin aging (3).
Collagen can be sourced from marine, chicken, or bovine sources. I recommend going with grass-fed bovine as it contains the largest concentrations of the most types of collagen (there are three types total).
I use Perfect Keto’s Collagen because it contains the best quality hydrolyzed collagen. It is paired with MCTs and gut-healthy acacia fiber, which makes this bread super ketogenic.
I use coconut flour as the base of this bread, along with collagen. Coconut milk is used to help with the consistency since coconut flour absorbs a lot of moisture.
Finally, you can garnish your bread with sesame seeds, nuts, or coconut flakes.
If you like it chocolatey, you can add unsweetened cocoa powder or chocolate chips in.
How to Make Low Carb Protein Bread Using Collagen Peptides
Preheat the oven to 325 F.
Combine coconut flour, xanthan gum, baking powder, and collagen powder in a bowl. I used this Unflavored Perfect Keto’s Collagen.
In another small bowl, whisk egg yolks, coconut milk, and melted coconut oil together.
In another bowl, beat egg whites until it forms peaks.
Pour the egg yolk mixture into the egg white mixture. Mix well then fold in the collagen-coconut flour mixture. Mix again until incorporated but don’t overmix.
Collagen is an amazing protein to include in a ketogenic diet. Collagen is the body's most abundant protein found in the skin, bones and cartilage. People following a keto diet will usually opt to include the skin, bones and cartilage in their meat sources, and they often drink bone broth – a rich source of collagen.
The minimum effective dose of collagen is 10 grams per day. One scoop of your Perfect Keto Collagen Protein powder contains 17 grams, which will provide all of the benefits listed above plus a bonus boost. If you take a minimum of 10 grams of collagen every day, your body will begin to see the benefits.
Look for products labeled with phrases like pasture-raised, grass-fed, and wild caught. Not only do these high-quality collagen supplements support the environment, but they're more nutrient dense. Look for the 'Keto Certified' Seal.
Bread that's low in carbs, so hasn't been made using grains and starchy food, is classed as being keto-friendly. Keto bread may taste, feel and look slightly different to traditional bread, but it's still bread, just a low carb version of it.
Some people report that taking collagen results in bloating or a heaviness in their stomachs. Excessive protein consumption can be hard on your digestion and may result in constipation or diarrhea if you don't have the digestive strength to properly process it[*].
Collagen is associated with a wide range of health benefits, as it is found in nearly every part of the body. The good news is that you don't need to sabotage your keto diet and risk coming out of ketosis in order to ensure that you receive enough collagen; keto collagen has many health benefits.
Let's get this out the way early doors: a large amount of collagen is unlikely to cause you any harm. So, while Absolute Collagen daily dose sachets contain 8,000mg of marine collagen, it is completely safe to take more.
KetoCOLLAGEN contains types I and III of bovine collagen from beef bone broth. EASY TO USE AND PACKED WITH NUTRIENTS: Each serving provides 15 grams of collagen, 3 grams of fat and zero carbs!
SATISFACTION GUARANTEE – you are going to Love our keto collagen because it tastes great and contains all natural ingredients – pure grass-fed collagen peptides, high potency MCT Oil powder, essential electrolytes, cocoa powder, stevia and natural flavors.
Collagen peptides are usually considered the best form of collagen for ingestion. Hydrolyzed collagen should be taken if a person wants to take a collagen supplement. Hydrolyzed collagen means the collagen has been broken down into small peptides, which are easy for the body to digest.
Mix 1 scoop (13g) into your favourite hot/cold beverage or food daily and mix thoroughly. Helpful Tip: Try to keep all cold beverages to room temperature (Collagen Peptides may clump in very cold water).
Generally speaking, most people on the keto diet should only consume 20-60 grams of carbs per day. To keep your diet on track, you'll want to consume keto bread that is between 8-10 total carbs per serving size.
Peanut butter can definitely be part of a keto diet, but it's best to stick to plain options that are free of extra flavors and sweeteners. Almond butter is a good choice, too, and it's slightly lower in carbs. Additionally, you should be mindful of your portion size if you're trying to lose weight.
In essence, dirty keto is a variation of the keto diet (a high fat, moderate protein, low carb diet) that allows you to consume whatever you want as long as it meets your macro goals. While it still reduces carb intake, it does not pay attention to the nutritional value of the fats and protein consumed.
The short answer: not quite. "What makes proteins different is their amino acid content," registered dietitian Albert Matheny, R.D., CSCS, previously told mbg. "Collagen has a very different set of amino acids than a typical animal- or plant-based protein powder."
Studies have shown that one serving of collagen peptides has minimal impact on ketone production, which means that if your fasting focus is metabolic flexibility and fat loss - you can enjoy collagen during a fast.
Collagen is a type of protein. Certain foods, such as animal skin and ligaments, are rich in collagen. Collagen is also available as a supplement. Many people hoping to support the health of their skin, joints, and hair pop collagen supplements daily or add collagen powder to their morning coffee, tea, or smoothie.
Sometimes taking a black-and-white approach keeps things nice and simple. However, adding a scoop of collagen to your coffee or tea during a fast, especially an unflavored & unsweetened variety like marine collagen, will not interfere with the benefits of fasting.
