What Do Fat Bombs Do For You?

Fat bombs can serve multiple purposes, but they have two primary uses when you’re living a keto lifestyle.

How Many Fat Bombs Should You Have A Day On Keto?

There is no set number of fat bombs you are required to have a day on a low carb way of eating. Think of these chocolate fat bombs as a way to meet your macros for dietary balance and hunger avoidance instead of a necessity. If you’re meeting your fat macros with other foods in your daily routine, you can skip the fat bombs entirely.

Does Chocolate Kick You Out Of Ketosis?

The answer can be yes or no, believe it or not. Again, it all comes back to balancing your macros and grabbing the correct ingredients. For this recipe, I chose to use sugar free chocolate chips, which are low in carbohydrates. If you consume them in moderation, it will not kick you out of ketosis.

Ingredients You’ll Need

Can you believe something as delicious can be made with only three ingredients? Here’s what you’ll need to grab before you get started:

Coconut Oil- This is used to help melt the chocolate chips and increase the fat content in these chocolate fat bombs. Almond Butter- Creates a deliciously creamy touch when mixed with melted chocolate chips. Sugar-Free Chocolate Chips- A smooth, low carb-friendly chocolate blends well with the creamy almond butter.

How To Make Chocolate Fat Bombs

I’m not sure this recipe could get much easier. Short of going to the grocery store and buying an overpriced version, it just doesn’t get any easier than this.

Variations

I shared the Chocolate Fat Bomb recipe with some friends on a WLS group on Facebook, and before you know it, several of us were trying our hand at them. Here are some variations.

Erin put some cranberries in hers. I tasted one of the bombs with cranberries and they were so good! Barb tried hers with a few little twists. Here’s what she did:“Just made a batch with a little change-up. I used your proportions of coconut oil and almond butter. I used some melted s/f chips, 2 tablespoons of Splenda brown sugar. I also added a splash of cold coffee which really enhances the chocolate flavor. Those babies are in the freezer now. I used the mini pan and made 12… Now we wait!“I decided I wanted mine with a little peanut butter on top. Next time I may add a few almonds for extra texture and variety.

How Long Do They Last?

If you have a decent amount of self-control, these chocolate fat bombs will last 1-2 weeks when stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator. If you’re making a double or triple batch to keep a sweet treat on hand at all times, you can store these almond butter cups in the freezer for up to 6 months. Just pop one out and give it a few minutes to defrost before digging in.
