GF Keto Girl’s Easter Bagel Recipe
- Lisa was diagnosed with celiac disease in 2015. Like many of us, in the beginning stages of having to drastically change her diet, she struggled to learn the do’s and do not’s of this “food is my medicine” regime.
- While she was initially happy to be healthier and not sick everyday, the gluten-free lifestyle caused her significant weight gain. The weight gain eventually lead to depression and well anyone familiar with this battle knows the rest of the story.
- Lisa says, “Contrary to what mainstream media sells us on the gluten-free diet for weight loss purposes, this is only true if you stay away from processed alternatives that, unbeknownst to most, are full of sugar to compensate for flavour.”
- Gluten-free food substitutes never satiated Lisa. She was always hungry an hour later. She had heard of the ‘Keto Diet’ a couple of years ago but transitioning to the gluten-free diet was hard enough and she didn’t feel she was ready to try and complicate her life anymore than she felt it already was but … she wishes she had done her research back then as it’s really not far off the gluten-free diet.
- Since starting Keto, she has had her ‘fail’ moments but she finally got serious and now she’s down 16lbs and feeling terrific! Her overall health has improved and she no longer requires monthly IVIG treatments for life.
- Lisa’s goal is to collaborate, educate and inspire others towards a “Gluten Free Keto Lifestyle” and support those looking to improve their overall health and get a more enjoyable life back. Lisa says, “Sharing is caring!”

I love this bagel with chicken, avocado, spinach, egg and Asiago Mayo spread. I often whip up a little cabbage side salad to go with it using a little mayo, vinegar, onion powder, salt, pepper & dried parsley. Yum!
❤️ Combine 1 1/2 cups almond flour and 1 TSP GF baking powder and set aside.
❤️ In a microwave safe bowl, combine 2 1/2 cups mozzarella shredded cheese (pizza kind works best) and a quarter block of cream cheese (2 ounces). Microwave for 1 minute, stir & repeat again.
❤️ Stir flour mixture and 2 eggs into melted cheeses working quickly to ensure even mixture with wet hands or a utensil to mix.
❤️ Divide into six parts & form bagels onto parchment paper on a baking pan. Garnish as desired. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes on 400 until golden brown. Let cool slightly before slicing.
Load up with your favourite keto-friendly spread. I like to mix up some salsa and avocado into a spread. You can also mix together some mayo & garlic salt. Both are tasty! 😋
Only 2.4 net carbs per bagel
