WHAT IS A FAT BOMB?
Are you wondering what a fat bomb is? Keto fat bombs are one of the easiest low carb diet recipes to make yourself. These keto dessert recipes are typically a no bake treat made with a combination of healthy fats, nuts or seeds and one of the most popular ketogenic recipes for people following a low carb high fat diet.
These keto snacks are a great way to get in more healthy fats, especially if you are following a keto diet. You can enjoy them in the morning before a workout, or a mid-day snack for extra energy to get you through the afternoon slump when that sweet-tooth hits.
The keto peanut butter fat bomb recipe would be amazing for days when you’re struggling to get enough fat to meet those macros. Or also on the weekend when you need a sweet pick me up after an extremely rough week.
I love how quick they come together with simple ingredients you already have in your pantry or fridge. Depending on your diet and lifestyle goals, you can pretty much customize them with whatever you like.
Another great thing about fat bombs is that they make a super yummy portable dessert while also fitting into the keto diet’s macro recommendations — low in carbs, high in fat.
CAN YOU MAKE KETO RECIPES AHEAD OF TIME?
Yes, absolutely! The best part about these low carb diet recipes is that they work perfectly for meal prep. You can make a big batch of keto dessert recipes ahead of time on your meal prep Sunday and store them in the fridge or freezer.
That way, when you’re craving something sweet or feel like you need a quick and healthy snack, you can just grab one of these fat bombs in the freezer throughout the week.
