What Kinds of Fat to Eat on Keto
If you’ve been eating keto for a while, you probably know that not all fats are created equal. We try to include a variety of saturated fats, monounsaturated fats, and polyunsaturated fats as part of our diet. Here are a few examples of healthy fats, broken down by category:
Healthy Saturated Fat Sources (Great For Adding to Keto Fat Bombs)
- Organic coconut oil
- Grass-fed dairy, like butter and cream
- Grass-fed fatty meat
- Lard from grass-fed pork
- Organic cacao butter
Healthy Monounsaturated Fat Sources
- Olives and extra-virgin olive oil
- Avocados and avocado oil
- Almonds
- Eggs
Healthy Polyunsaturated Fat Sources
- Flaxseed or flax oil
- Walnuts
- Fish, such as salmon, mackerel, and trout
When You Should Eat Fat Bombs on the Ketogenic Diet
Fat is a large part of the ketogenic way of eating, making up about 70% of macros. Getting enough fat to keep your body in ketosis is crucial. Since the fat content in our diet is so high, it can sometimes be a challenge to get it all in, which is where tools like fat bombs come into play.
We enjoy fat bombs in a variety of flavors, both sweet and savory, but sweet fat bombs (basically “keto candy”) can be a lifesaver if you have a sweet tooth. Fat is incredibly satiating, and as a result there are usually no feelings of deprivation when following the ketogenic lifestyle.

Low Carb Chocolate Covered Vanilla Buttercream Truffle Candy (Keto Fat Bombs)
Ingredients
- 1 oz cacao butter
- 6 tablespoons organic grass-fed unsalted butter cut into cubes
- 2 tablespoons Swerve Confectioners
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla bean paste
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/8 teaspoon almond extract
- 1/8 teaspoon stevia glycerite
- 1 pinch sea salt
- 6 tablespoons organic heavy whipping cream
- 4 oz 90% dark chocolate
Instructions
- Melt the cacao butter in a double boiler or microwave. Once melted, add the cubed butter and stir until melted.
- Stir in the Swerve Confectioners, vanilla bean paste, vanilla extract, almond extract, stevia glycerite, and salt.
- Once mixed, stir in the cream.
- Pour the mixture into 8 cubes of a standard ice cube tray, and transfer to the freezer. Freeze until solid, about 2 hours.
- Remove the candy from the ice cube tray. (If they don’t easily pop out, dip the bottom in warm water for a few seconds.)
- Melt the dark chocolate in a double boiler or microwave. Coat the candy in the dark chocolate and transfer the candy to a wire rack so any excess chocolate can drip off.
- Let the chocolate harden before serving. Store the candy in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.

What can I use in place of the vanilla bean paste?
Hi Debie,
You can use vanilla extract, it will have a less potent flavor.
Thank you
