Fat Bombs, Oh How I Love them.

JulieH · Sep 14th 2014, 4:23pm

Well I have been pretty happy with my first week of LC, I have lost 3 kilos and no problems at all. (well this week anyway)
I have been reading as much as I can and in a lot of LC groups they talk about making sure you eat enough fat, and to eat fat bombs.

They are yumo, I will have to watch myself as I eat them whenever.lol

Half cup of peanut butter
100g of butter
Half cup of coconut oil
teaspoon of sweetner (I used splenda) that is all that I had.
Three tablespoons of coco powder.

Melt together in a saucepan and then pour into a greased icecube tray and put in freezer.

You should be able to eat them in about 20 minutes

I have seen pictures of these on Instagram and I have been thinking of having a play as I need to find a way to take my MCT oil, you could have all sorts of flavours

Maybe I should move this to the snacks recipe section and this can be a dedicated fat bomb recipe thread

Sure Sherrie, have a play, I am sure you will love them.:)

Yum

as I am a calorie counter it shocks me to see that :eek:

JulieH · Sep 14th 2014, 5:09pm

I know, but you need to keep your fats high in LC. lol......Think of it as a good way to get your nutritious coconut oil weekly intake.:)

2kellen2 · Sep 14th 2014, 5:13pm

Yes I know & it would taste so nice too

rosen · Sep 14th 2014, 5:49pm

Hmmm, sounds nice but I'm afraid I'd eat the whole lot in one go - have to wait and try that later on.

2kellen2 · Sep 14th 2014, 6:13pm

Elle - I am the same as you - I could not make them because I would eat the lot

JulieH · Sep 14th 2014, 6:22pm

I try to limit myself to two a day, but I did have three today.lol

JulieH · Sep 14th 2014, 6:25pm

I must admit, the first time I bit into one, I could only just taste the oil, but then the peanut butter and coco kicked in, and then it was heaven.lol

As long as your carbs are very low , you could incorporate one or two of these a day -

that's the secret - one or two. They sound awesome but I get enough fat in other things , like cream and meat and cheese etc.

Sherrie · Sep 14th 2014, 7:13pm

I remember when I was first here low carbing, we all used to try and get in atleast 2 tablespoons of flax oil a day! It was such an essential thing there used to be a forum section purely on flax oil!

Fat bombs sound so much better, I'm going to use MCT oil instead of coconut oil which will be thermogenic enhancing ketosis and fat burning and give me energy as well.

I might make some tomorrow if I have everything

Let us know how you go Sherrie.

Sherrie · Sep 15th 2014, 12:48pm

Julie, is that unsweetened Cocoa powder and unsweetened natural peanut butter? It doesn't seem like 1 teaspoon of sweetener would be enough?

JulieH · Sep 15th 2014, 1:14pm

Yes it is Sherrie, the recipe did say three, but I was unsure about the carb count of splenda so I only used one. It is unsweetened cocoa powder and peanut butter that I use. The choc flavour is very rich.

Sherrie · Sep 15th 2014, 1:40pm

Ok I will try 3 teaspoons because I imagine you get a fair few out of the recipe btw if you like coconut rough (I don't) I found another one here: Chocolate Fat Bomb

.

Sherrie · Sep 15th 2014, 4:06pm

Ok I have some in the freezer now but I replaced coconut oil with MCT oil, added some salt, vanilla paste and I used 4 teaspoons of tagatose but I realised after pouring that I didn't dissolve the tagatose properly so there may be only 1 or 2 teaspoons in there as most of it was in the bottom of the saucepan. Tastes really good and no coconut taste which is awesome!

Oh and as you can see I filled two ice cube trays so that's lots!

JulieH · Sep 15th 2014, 5:30pm

WooHoo, enjoy them.:)

Sherrie · Sep 15th 2014, 5:34pm

I tried one after about 30 mins or so, it was more a think cream center consistency so they need longer by the looks of it. Next time I am going to set them in those little patties that you use for truffles.

But I ate one anyway and it tastes good, reminded me of these: low carb peanut butter balls I didnt find the cocoa too rich for me, it was just right

2kellen2 · Sep 15th 2014, 6:25pm

They sound so nice - why are you changing to the little patties is there a problem getting them out of the ice cube trays? you are making me feel like I need a choccie fix - not good - I might have a hot chocolate later
