What is a fat bomb?
A fat bomb is your best friend on a keto diet! Melt in your mouth, mini low carb treats that will keep you full and feelin’ good!
Usually a combination of a type of fat like butter, oil, or cream cheese, herbs and spices, and sometimes keto sweeteners. Then add on ingredients for flavor and texture like nuts and seeds.
Fat bombs are designed for those on a keto diet, but can be enjoyed by anyone. Fat bombs are yummy, quick treats that are often made in batches, stored, and eaten over a few days or weeks. Most freeze well too!
Why eat fat bombs?
These little low carb fat bomb snacks are a quick treat that can be used to help keep you on track with a keto diet. Our keto fat bomb recipes are a wonderful way to satisfy your sweet or savory craving. They include healthy fats without filling your body with carbs.
Pro tip: Fat bombs are great snacks to help keep you full between meals. Munching on one of these little guys can help keep you from continuously snacking on empty calories and carb loaded foods.
Tips for making the perfect fat bomb
Using fat bases like coconut oil or grass-fed butter are great to use as your main ingredients. Dairy based fats like heavy cream and cream cheese need to be kept cold, so keep this in mind when deciding what fat bomb recipe you want to use.

How many fat bombs can I eat on keto?
We love our cream cheese fat bombs, but too much of a good thing isn’t always wonderful! Have your fat bombs in moderation, and try not to overdo it.
We would recommend trying to stick to about 1-2 servings per day (most recipes are 1 or 2 bombs per serving), so use your best judgement when it comes to the wiggle room.
What are our keto pumpkin spice fat bombs made of?
Fat, spice, and everything nice!
