HOW TO MAKE DEEP DISH BROWN BUTTER LAVA CAKE

To make my Deep Dish Lava Cake, I used Chocolate Equip Protein Powder! I also used it to make my protein hot fudge! Not only does it add a deep delicious flavor, it also adds a slew of health benefits!

When it comes to building health, strength, and longevity, protein is the foundation. It supports lean muscle, hormones, enzymes, immune function, and even skin health. But not all protein powders are created equal.

That’s why I love Equip Prime Protein — a pure, grass-fed beef isolate that delivers everything you want in a protein powder without the junk you don’t. Whether you’re keto, paleo, dairy-free, or simply seeking real-food nutrition, this clean, high-quality beef protein powder is a game changer.

1. Pure Grass-Fed Nutrition — Nothing Artificial

Equip’s Prime Protein is made from 100% grass-fed beef isolate, not whey or soy. That means no dairy, no hormones, no antibiotics, no artificial sweeteners, and no fillers.
It’s real food — just beef, hydrolyzed and dried into an easy-to-mix powder.

Each scoop delivers around 21 grams of complete protein — containing all the essential amino acids your body needs for repair, recovery, and growth.

Why it matters: Many protein powders rely on industrially processed dairy or cheap plant isolates that can cause bloating, gas, or inflammation. Equip’s beef protein is gentle on digestion and free from allergens, making it ideal for anyone who struggles with whey, lactose, or soy.

2. Supports Lean Muscle, Fat Loss & Recovery

Protein is your body’s signal for repair. When you eat enough, you build and preserve muscle, boost metabolism, and support healthy weight management.

Equip Prime Protein fuels these goals with the same amino acid profile you’d get from a high-quality steak — just more convenient. After exercise or fasting, a scoop helps your body:

  • Repair and rebuild muscle tissue

  • Support recovery and reduce soreness

  • Boost metabolism by maintaining lean mass

And because it’s naturally low in carbs and fat, it fits perfectly into keto, low-carb, and fasting protocols.

3. Naturally Rich in Collagen & Gelatin for Joints, Skin & Gut Health

Unlike whey or plant protein, beef isolate contains naturally occurring collagen and gelatin peptides.

That means each serving doesn’t just feed your muscles — it nourishes your connective tissue, ligaments, tendons, and gut lining.

Regular use can help support:

  • Stronger joints and cartilage

  • Smoother, more elastic skin

  • Healthier hair and nails

  • Improved digestive comfort and gut integrity

It’s protein that works on the inside and outside — helping you look and feel your best.

4. Keto-Friendly and Metabolically Clean

Many commercial protein powders hide behind “healthy” labels while being packed with artificial sweeteners, gums, or sugar alcohols that can disrupt your digestion and blood sugar.

Equip Prime Protein has no artificial flavors, colors, or sweeteners.
It’s zero-carb, gluten-free, soy-free, and dairy-free, which means it won’t spike insulin or knock you out of ketosis.

For anyone following a ketogenic or carnivore approach, it’s the ideal way to reach your daily protein goals without compromising your macros or your health.

5. Delicious, Versatile & Easy to Use

Equip’s Prime Protein mixes smoothly and tastes naturally rich — not chalky or artificial. It comes in flavors like Vanilla, Chocolate, Strawberry, and Peanut Butter, plus Unflavored for cooking and baking.

You can:

  • Add it to coffee or smoothies

  • Stir it into yogurt or chia pudding

  • Use it in recipes — like protein cheesecakes, waffles, or pancakes

  • Mix it into post-workout shakes or travel smoothies

It’s real-food protein made convenient for real-life living.

6. Perfect for Digestive Sensitivity

Because Prime Protein is made from pure beef isolate — not dairy — it’s ideal for those with lactose intolerance or whey sensitivity.

Many people who can’t tolerate whey experience less bloating and better digestion with beef protein.
Plus, the natural collagen peptides help soothe and strengthen the gut lining, providing additional digestive support.

7. A Smarter Way to Hit Your Protein Goals

Most people — especially women — don’t get enough protein. Yet, optimal protein intake is crucial for:

  • Preserving lean muscle as we age

  • Balancing hormones

  • Improving metabolism

  • Supporting mental clarity and energy

Equip Prime Protein makes it simple to meet your daily protein target even when you’re busy or traveling.
One scoop = the protein equivalent of a 4-oz serving of steak — without cooking or cleanup.

Conclusion: Real-Food Nutrition Made Simple

Equip Beef Protein Powder is more than a supplement — it’s a pure, whole-food protein source that supports every system of your body: muscles, joints, skin, gut, and metabolism.

Whether you’re keto, paleo, or simply striving for better health, it’s a clean, convenient way to get the building blocks your body needs to thrive.

Ingredients
  

DEEP DISH BROWN BUTTER LAVA CAKE:

PROTEIN HOT FUDGE:

Instructions
 

  • Grease an 8 by 8 inch casserole dish with butter. Sprinkle the inside of the dish with 1 tablespoon of sweetener. 
  • Place the salted butter into a large pot over high heat while whisking often. After a few minutes the butter with froth up and brown flecks will appear. Keep heating until you have a deep golden brown color. Remove from heat. Add in all the chopped chocolate and stir until all the chocolate has melted. Set aside. 
  • In another large bowl place the sweeteners, chocolate Equip protein powder, eggs, egg yolks, coconut milk, and beat with an hand mixer until thickened, about 2 minutes.
  • Fold the warm chocolate mixture into the egg mixture. Place the batter into the prepared dish. Note: At this point, you can either bake or cover and place in the fridge for up to 3 days. Bring to room temperature and remove the covering before baking.
  • To bake the cake: Preheat the oven to 350°F. Bake the cake until the edges are puffed and slightly cracked but the center, about 15-20 minutes. (You want the center slightly underdone.)
  • To make the hot fudge, place the heavy cream, sweeteners in a medium pot over high heat. Once hot, remove from the heat and add the Equip chocolate and chopped chocolate. Stir until chocolate is melted. Stir in the vanilla and salt. Taste and adjust sweetness to your liking. Set in fridge to cool for a 15-30 minutes.
  • To serve, scoop the warm cake into serving dishes with a large spoon. Top with vanilla protein ice cream, if desired, and a drizzle of hot fudge.

TESTIMONY OF THE DAY

“Hi Maria! Guess what I just made?!?! I used your new Chicken Fries recipe base and turned it into a carnivore cornbread dressing, aka chicken and dressing, like we eat down here in Arkansas on Thanks Giving! My mind is blown, I didn’t even have to add almond flour like I’ve done in years past. I will be making this for myself and my grown keto daughter on thanksgiving! Thank you for the inspiration! 🥰
I lost 100lbs… And have kept it off! No other way to think, lol! And I have 4 autoimmune issues in remission, plus off 25+ scripts twice a day! 💪🏻” Jo
