That's why we put together this list to help narrow it down to the very best for you. Here are our 10 favorite keto fat bomb recipes. Enjoy!

The Importance of Eating Healthy Fats on Keto

That's what makes keto unlike most other diets—you get tons of energy from all the fats you eat, so you typically don’t have to worry about cravings or hunger pangs.

If you don't eat enough healthy fats, you will likely have no energy. Or you'll be more likely to eat carbs or junk food to compensate for the energy you aren't getting from fat.

That's why it's important to find as many ways as you can to get more healthy fats throughout the day. And food items like fat bombs are a great way to do that!

Good Sources of Healthy Fats

• Avocados
• Coconut
• Nuts (almonds, walnuts, pecans, macadamia nuts, etc.)
• Nut butters
• Eggs
• Butter
• Cheese
• Full-fat Greek yogurt
• Olives
• Chia seeds
• Cacao
• Healthy cooking oils (olive oil, coconut oil, and avocado oil)

And in the case of coconut or coconut oil, some healthy fats also contain MCT oil (medium-chain triglycerides), which can help support weight loss and enhance ketosis [3].

As a general rule, you want to avoid any fats that have been heavily processed, trans fats, and foods cooked with unhealthy oils, like grapeseed oil or canola oil.

What are Fat Bombs?

A good fat bomb recipe is loaded with healthy fats, some fiber and protein, and very few carbs. It also avoids those unhealthy fats you find in many processed foods. 

Fat bombs are a great option between meals, on road trips, and before or after workouts. They're also great when you're craving something sweet but don't want to go off your keto diet.

Why are Fat Bombs Important on Keto?

• They're a clean treat: Healthy ingredients like nuts, nut butters, and dark chocolate do a great job of getting rid of junk food cravings without having to eat anything unhealthy.
• They're portable and easy to eat: One of the hardest parts about going keto for some people is having a healthy option when they're on the road or simply have a busy schedule. Fat bombs are a quick way to get an energy boost when you're on the go.
• They offer other healthy nutrients: Most of the foods listed above not only offer healthy fats, but nutrients your body needs like fiber, B vitamins, probiotics, and essential minerals like iron!
• They can help promote ketosis: Fat bombs made with coconut products offer the additional benefits of MCT oil, which can help you achieve and maintain ketosis. Not many snacks can say that!

Popular Ingredients Used in Fat Bomb Recipes

• Nut butters (almond butter, macadamia nut butter, cashew butter, peanut butter, etc.)
• Coconut flakes
• Dark chocolate
• Cream cheese
• Coconut oil
• Olive oil
• Heavy Cream
• Chia seeds
