This healthy Cucumbers with a BANG! is my new favorite afternoon snack. It is so easy to make and tastes delicious. Cucumber’s increase your energy and boost your metabolism. The olive oil is a healthy fat and lemon juice helps detox and cleanse your blood of impurities. The cayenne pepper is a also a detox agent.
It is a super food snack! You will love this post workout. I can’t wait to make this with fresh cucumbers from my garden. This is great for clean eating! I also love to use this in combination with Detox Water. It is a great combination for added detox with this healthy cucumber snack.
This snack is naturally gluten free and is Paleo too! It is also a Candida Friendly and Whole 30 complaint Recipe. Best of all it is a low calorie food too! With each 1 tsp of Olive Oil it is only 1 W-W point so depending on how much oil you use this is a low point snack too!
If you are eating Low Carb or following a Keto Diet you will love to add this detox side dish to your breakfast, lunch or dinner menus. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do!

Be careful as these are addictive!

Zero-Carb Carnivore Cheese Buns

Table of Contents

🧀 Zero-Carb Carnivore Cheese Buns (Makes ~6 small buns)

✅ Ingredients:

  • 2 cups shredded cheese (mozzarella or cheddar — full-fat, no fillers)

  • 4 tbsp cream cheese

  • 3 large eggs

  • 2 tbsp unflavored gelatin powder (key for chewy, bread-like texture)

  • 1 tsp baking powder (optional; omit for strict zero-carb, or sub with ¼ tsp baking soda + vinegar)

  • Pinch of salt

🥩 Optional additions:

  • 2 tbsp grated Parmesan for extra crispiness

  • 1 tbsp beef tallow or bacon grease for deeper flavor

🥣 Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. Melt cheeses

In a microwave-safe bowl, combine shredded cheese and cream cheese. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring each time, until fully melted and smooth (about 1½–2 minutes total). Or melt in a double boiler.

3. Mix eggs

In a separate bowl, whisk eggs until frothy. Add salt, baking powder (if using), and gelatin powder. Mix thoroughly.

4. Combine

Slowly stir the egg mixture into the melted cheese. Mix well with a spatula or hand mixer. Dough will be sticky but cohesive.

5. Shape the buns

Lightly oil your hands (with tallow or butter). Form dough into 6 small buns or rolls and place on the lined baking sheet.

6. Bake

Bake for 15–18 minutes until golden brown and slightly puffed. Tops should be firm but slightly springy.

🧊 Storage:

  • Keeps in the fridge for 5–6 days.

  • Reheat in toaster oven or pan for best texture.

  • Freezer-friendly!

📝 Texture Tips:

  • Gelatin adds chew and mimics gluten. Don’t skip it!

  • More cheese = denser buns, more egg = fluffier.

  • Use full-fat cheeses without starch or anti-caking agents for true zero-carb compliance.
