Is your sweet tooth out of control? Working to heal your gut? Need a healthy treat for the kids that’s full of good fat and protein?
You need fat bombs in your life.
Loaded with protein and healthy coconut/nut fats, but low in sugar, these gems really help curb sugar cravings. Just grab a couple when you want something sweet or need a hit of long-lasting energy.
Or eat them for breakfast! Because you can.
One thing I don’t recommend is plopping down on the couch and devouring the whole batch with your son while watching Disney shows about superhero ‘tweens. This might be forgivable on your first batch, but have some dignity in the future!
Just a few amazing benefits of coconut oil:
1. Coconut oil is efficiently metabolized (burned up into energy) and can contribute to weight loss in some people when used in place of refined vegetable oils.
2.Coconut oil is a super immune booster. It is antimicrobial, antiviral, antifungal and antiprotozoal.
3. Coconut oil can help control candida overgrowth. This is one way it helps curb sugar cravings, because the yeast thrives on sugar and makes you crave it.
4. Studies suggest that coconut oil may have a protective effect on the heart.
CHOCOLATE PEANUT BUTTER FAT BOMBS
CLICK HERE for printable recipe
5 minute prep
Makes 20 pieces
¼ cup unsweetened peanut butter (or other nut/seed butter)
¼ cup coconut oil
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 teaspoon cocoa powder
1 teaspoon stevia blend (I like this stevia blend – one teaspoon is as sweet as two teaspoons sugar. Adjust accordingly if using another brand.)
2 tablespoons chocolate chips (can be reduced to one or omitted, see notes)
Warm all ingredients in a saucepan over medium heat. Add a pinch of salt if your peanut butter is unsalted. Spoon into silicone molds (I like these) and refrigerate or freeze until hardened. Move to a container and store in the fridge. Enjoy cold! (They melt at room temp.)
NOTES: These contain about 1 gram of sugar each. To eliminate the sugar altogether, omit the chocolate chips and add another teaspoon cocoa powder.
Doubling the recipe exactly fills these 3 silicone molds.
Hello! My name is Natalia. I’ve been drawn to nutrition and natural healing since I was a young child, growing up in a Russian and Dutch home. I remember my dad theatrically convincing me to love head cheese (with horseradish and lemon!) and learning to make herbal tinctures from my mom.
