Chicken Parmesan Casserole

There are plenty of gluten-free casseroles to fill up a meal plan, like broccoli and rice, or sausage and potatoes. When you want baked pasta, though, you’ll have to look for a substitute.

Instead of using gluten-free pasta like quinoa, spaghetti squash is used as the “grain” in this casserole for a gluten-free chicken parm. So while it’s a baked casserole, this is also a healthy dinner of lean meat and veggies.

Serves 8

Ingredients

Chicken:

1 1/2 lbs. boneless skinless chicken breast

1 large egg

1/2 cup almond flour

1/4 cup (about 1 oz.) grated Parmesan

1/2 tsp. salt

1/8 tsp. freshly ground black pepper

1/2 tsp. garlic powder

1 tsp. dried parsley

1/2 tsp. dried basil

3 Tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil

Casserole:

4 cups cooked spaghetti squash

1 Tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil

1/2 tsp. salt

1/8 tsp. freshly ground black pepper

1/2 Tbsp. dried parsley

1 1/2 cups easy keto marinara sauce

6 oz. fresh mozzarella

Protein Granola

A lot of gluten-free foods have a higher price tag when you buy the packaged version. But make them yourself, and you can cut costs, especially for something simple like gluten-free cereal.

This one has so many delicious ingredients – including coconut, almond, pecans, and even baked lentils – that you’ll enjoy it more than the premade granola, whether you eat it in a bowl of cereal with milk or mix some into yogurt.

Serves 15 / Makes 5 cups

Ingredients

2 cups gluten-free rolled oats

1 cup unsweetened flaked coconut

1 cup sliced almonds

1/2 cup pecans, coarsely chopped

2 Tbsp. chia seeds

1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon

1/4 tsp. salt

1 1/2 cups cooked lentils (from 3/4 cup dry lentils)

Gluten-Free Cheddar Biscuits

Not every kind of flour is going to make fluffy gluten-free biscuits. For this cheddar bay biscuit copycat recipe, like the ones at Red Lobster, it’s recommended to use Arthur’s Flour gluten-free baking mix.

It contains a blend of enriched brown rice flour, potato starch, and leavening agents like baking soda. That blend makes this cheesy biscuit light even though the flavors are rich.

Serves 12

Ingredients

2 cups gluten-free baking mix

1 cup milk

1 cup (about 4 oz.) shredded sharp cheddar

1 1/2 tsp. garlic powder, divided

1 tsp. dried oregano

2 Tbsp. butter, melted

Gluten-Free Mocha Protein Donuts

These chocolate donuts are going to disappear in minutes – and that’s ok. They don’t contain any flour and only have all-natural sugars from mashed banana.

These macros are so amazing they’ll make you double-take. Each mini donut has less than 50 calories, mocha icing included, yet delivers over 7 grams of protein.

Serves 4 / Makes 12

Ingredients

Donut:

2 Tbsp. cold brew coffee concentrate

1/2 medium banana, mashed

1/2 cup WHEY+ chocolate protein isolate

2 Tbsp. cacao powder

Everything Bagel Dogs

Gluten Free Bagel Dog Recipe Picture courtesy of Peace, Love & Low-Carb

It’s possible to make gluten-free bagels – and even to find them in grocery stores – but low-carb bagels? This recipe manages to do that and even more.

The “bagel” is a dough made from almond, coconut, mozzarella, and cream cheese. That’s wrapped around a hot dog, sprinkled with everything bagel seasoning, and baked until golden brown. This is one gluten-free lunch recipe you’ll want to try even if you’re not following a special diet.

Serves 6

Hot Dogs:

1/4 cup almond flour

Black Bean Cauliflower Bread

Instead of looking for a gluten-free flour that replaces wheat, you can substitute your favorite protein powder.

This recipe also uses dried black beans, which can be ground into a flour to mix with whey and rice protein for a nutritional profile that goes beyond balanced. The result is a gluten-free bread that’s delicious slathered in almond butter for breakfast or a post-workout snack.

Serves 12

Ingredients

3/4 cup dried black beans, ground into flour

3 scoops WHEY+ vanilla protein isolate

1/4 cup + 1 Tbsp. rice protein powder

Carrot Cake Muffins with Cream Cheese Frosting

Gluten-free baking can use a whole lot of alternatives to wheat flour. Many recipes use a mix of different ones to achieve the right texture, so be sure to check what was originally used by the baker. In this case, it’s a blend of rice, millet, sorghum, and more. Pick up Arrowhead Mills if you don’t want to make a gluten-free baking mix from scratch.

These gluten-free muffins are more like a healthy carrot cake, complete with icing. Turn them into gluten-free cupcakes that have less sugar by making a cream cheese frosting with whey protein powder instead of the honey and heavy cream.

Serves 12

Ingredients

Muffins:

2 cups gluten-free flour

3/4 cup raw honey

1 tsp. baking soda

1 tsp. baking powder

1 1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon

Dash of pumpkin pie spice

1/2 tsp. sea salt

2 large eggs

1/3 cup coconut oil

1/3 cup milk (or non-dairy milk of choice)

1 Tbsp. raw apple cider vinegar

1 tsp. vanilla extract

2 cups shredded carrot

1 cup shredded apple

Craving French toast but following a gluten-free, low-carb meal plan? This version comes in the form of a protein bar – no bread or flour included.

Yet there’s still plenty of gourmet French toast flavor from maple essence, ground almonds, and coconut flakes. And unlike regular French toast, this gluten-free breakfast bar can be grabbed on the go.

Serves 4

Ingredients

1 scoop WHEY+ vanilla protein isolate

1/4 cup coconut flakes

1 Tbsp. agave syrup (or honey)

Clinically Effective Ingredients & Doses

Many ingredients in supplements don’t have any scientifically validated benefits, and many ingredients that do are often underdosed to the point of irrelevance.

That’s why we only use the choice ingredients and precise doses shown to be effective in peer-reviewed scientific studies.

Clinically Effective Doses

You need more than great ingredients to make great products—you also need proper doses. That’s why we use the precise doses of ingredients shown to be effective in peer-reviewed scientific studies.

Natural Ingredients

“Natural” doesn’t always mean “better,” but in many cases, natural ingredients are superior to artificial ones for various reasons, including purity, safety, and efficacy.

That’s why all of our ingredients in all of our products come from plant and animal sources, including sweeteners, colors, and flavors.

Made in USA with Globally Sourced Ingredients

If you want to ensure the supplements you’re swallowing every day are safe and effective, you want products produced in the USA.

That’s why all of our supplements are made in America in NSF-certified and FDA-inspected facilities that operate in accordance with the Current Good Manufacturing Practice (cGMP) regulations.

Lab Tested

Did you know that supplements can contain dangerously high levels of toxins like lead, arsenic, and cadmium?

That’s why we test every ingredient of every supplement we produce for heavy metals, microbes, allergens, and other contaminants and ensure they meet the strict purity standards set by the FDA.

Naturally Sweetened & Flavored

While artificial sweeteners may not be as dangerous as some people claim, studies suggest that regular consumption of these chemicals may indeed be harmful to our health.

That’s why all of our supplements are naturally sweetened and flavored and contain no artificial food dyes, fillers, or other unnecessary junk.

Security Check

Please click the checkbox below. We apologize for the inconvenience.

Some popular pre-workouts are all-natural. Some contain the right mix of high-quality ingredients. Some provide clinically effective doses. But only Pulse checks each of these boxes.

Pulse doesn’t just “contain natural ingredients''—every ingredient is naturally sourced from plants and animals. Pulse contains no artificial or synthetic substances of any kind.

Every serving of Pulse contains 15.1 grams of active ingredients that have been shown to be safe and effective in peer-reviewed scientific research.

Every active ingredient in Pulse is backed by published scientific studies that show benefits in healthy humans.

Pulse contains no harsh stimulants that wind you up and burn you out. Instead, it contains a 1:1 ratio of caffeine and L-theanine, which produces a smooth energy rush and comfortable comedown.

We carefully examined 508 pages of scientific research to find out exactly what should and shouldn’t be in a pre-workout supplement.

Every bottle of Pulse is guaranteed to provide exactly what the label claims and nothing else—no heavy metals, microbes, allergens, or other contaminants.

While these types of chemicals may not be as dangerous as some people claim, studies suggest that regular consumption of them may indeed be harmful to our health. And that’s why we don’t put any of them into our products.

Before you buy a sports supplement, you should know that it's clean, safe, and transparent. And that's exactly what Labdoor's third-party testing and certification means.

It's hard to know for sure, but this probably makes Pulse the most-popular all-natural pre-workout supplement in the world.

If you don’t absolutely love this product, just let us know, and we’ll give you a full refund on the spot. No forms or return necessary.
