What is a fat bomb?

Fat bombs are low carb, keto friendly desserts, which don’t even require baking! They are usually held together by refrigerating or even by freezing sometimes. They are typically made with ingredients which are high in fat such as nut butters, coconut oil, cream cheese or avocado. Since fat bombs, as the name suggests are higher in fat, they make you feel more satisfied than other treats.

Fat bombs can even be taken as a snack and they will easily hold you over until dinner time. Because they are low in sugar some even consider them to be healthy if taken in small amounts. The great thing about fat bombs is that you can make them in so many different flavors, meaning you’ll never get bored of having them as a treat! The name might not be so appealing, but they sure are tasty!

Why eat fat bombs on the keto diet?

As a Keto diet is high in fat and low in carbs and sugar, it can be hard sometimes to find desserts which fit those nutritional restrictions. Fat bombs are the perfect way to curb that sweet tooth whilst also sticking to your goals!

What is Mexican hot chocolate?

Mexican hot chocolate is less refined and less sweet than regular hot chocolate. It is an unsweetened drink which was used for rituals and medicinal purposes in older times. The taste of Mexican hot chocolate is richer, creamier and has a more pronounced taste than your usual hot chocolate. Flavors such as cinnamon and chili or cayenne powder are typically added to it to give it a slight kick and to add even more flavor.

How to store fat bombs?

These fat bombs should be stored in an air-tight container and placed either in the freezer or refrigerator so that they don’t spoil. It also helps them to keep their shape. They will still taste great within the next couple of days!
