Lemon Poppy Seed Protein Sparing Angel Food Cake
Many of you know I worked at a coffee shop since I was 15 years old. At this cute coffee shop, I would make the best lemon poppy seed muffins with delicious lemon curd dolloped on top! Before school, I would go to the coffee shop to make the scones and the muffins and then after school, I would go back to work. At the end of the day, I got to bring home the cinnamon rolls, scones and lemon poppy seed muffins that didn’t sell! So guess what??? I would make lemon poppy seed muffins to make sure I had some to go home with! No wonder why I was so unhealthy and overweight! Once I was diagnosed with PCOS, I decided to create healthy keto recipes of my favorite things like this protein sparing lemon poppy seed angel food cake!
My recipe for protein sparing angel food cake is only 42 calories and 1 gram total carb per slice compared to the whopping 700 calories and 97 grams of carbohydrates that my lemon poppy seed muffin had!
Here is my before photo when I was eating too many lemon poppy seed muffins and this is my after photo. Protein sparing modified fasting helped me get to my goal weight.
My sugar free kids love this lemon poppy seed angel food cake so much!
HOW TO MAKE PROTEIN SPARING ANGEL FOOD CAKE
To make this protein sparing Angel Food Cake, I used a stand mixer! I adore my stand mixer and it was my favorite foodie gift! Find my FAVORITE stand mixer HERE (makes a GREAT gift!)
I also used Further Food Gelatin!
Further Food gelatin and collagen peptides are both excellent sources of collagen. Both their Collagen & Gelatin are sourced from the highest quality, grass-fed, pasture-raised, hormone-free, and antibiotic free bovine collagen.
The benefits of collagen and gelatin are astounding! Just eating my delicious Protein Sparing Bagels helps support skin elasticity & hydration, longer hair & nails, stronger bones & joints, faster recovery between workouts, increased flexibility, improved digestion, and it even keeps you feeling full and satiated for longer!
Further Food Collagen Peptides dissolve instantly in any recipe, and Gelatin Powder naturally thickens recipes. It’s perfect for making my protein sparing angel food cake; it gives it a chewy bread texture! It also makes dairy free ice cream, jello, sugar free gummies, no bake cheesecake, or panna cotta!
