Flourless Protein Pumpkin Cake (Cottage Cheese Cake)

HOW TO MAKE FLOURLESS PROTEIN PUMPKIN CAKE

To make my Flourless Protein Pumpkin Cake, I used Further Food Pumpkin Spice collagen!

Further Food Pumpkin Spice Collagen blends the joint, skin, gut, and muscle benefits of collagen peptides with the antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties of pumpkin spice ingredients—making it both functional and flavorful.

🧬 Core Collagen Benefits

• Joint & Tendon Support – Rich in glycine, proline, and hydroxyproline, which help rebuild and maintain connective tissue.

• Skin, Hair, and Nails – Stimulates collagen production for improved elasticity, hydration, and strength.

• Gut Health – Glycine and glutamine help repair and maintain a healthy gut lining.

• Muscle Recovery – Supports connective tissue repair after exercise.

Collagen supplementation before training increased collagen synthesis in tendons and ligaments.

🍂 Functional Pumpkin Spice Blend

• Cinnamon – Improves insulin sensitivity and supports blood sugar balance.

• Ginger – Aids digestion and reduces inflammation.

• Nutmeg & Cloves – Provide antioxidants and antimicrobial compounds.

• Pumpkin (in flavor blend) – Adds beta-carotene (vitamin A precursor) for skin and immune health.

⚡ Why It’s Special

• No sugar – Sweetened naturally (often monk fruit or stevia), making it keto- and paleo-friendly.

• Versatile use – Mixes easily in coffee, tea, smoothies, or baked goods.

• Seasonal comfort – Warm spice profile encourages consistent use.

✅ Bottom Line:
Further Food Pumpkin Spice Collagen is a functional supplement disguised as a seasonal indulgence—offering the structural and recovery benefits of collagen while providing anti-inflammatory, antioxidant spice compounds. It supports joint, skin, gut, and blood sugar health in a delicious, sugar-free way.

TESTIMONY OF THE DAY

Doesn’t Christine look like a new woman?

I am so proud of her, I had to share her testimony! She is also a moderator of my private Facebook group which you can join for support!

“I first started following Maria Emmerich in 2015 when I was sick, sad, and miserable. Like many of us, I bumbled around various types of keto. Honestly, I struggled with the “strictness” of Emmerich keto. After three years and minimal success, I decided I needed to commit or live as I was.

I went all in and immersed myself in all things Emmerich keto! Only 7 months later, I’d met my weight loss goal and dropped 4 sizes!

I continued to lose in maintenance and lost another 25 lbs. But even better… I put 3 autoimmune diseases into remission, went off 20+ meds/day, resolved years of chronic inflammation, IBS, and insomnia, and found my healthy, happy self again!

At 61, I feel better than I have since I was a small child.

I work full time, ride a motorcycle, garden, and exercise.

Craig and Maria Emmerich helped me save my life, and their knowledge and programs can help you achieve your goals, too” – Christina
