Shockingly Good Keto Fat Bomb Recipes to Satisfy Your Low-Carb Sweet Tooth

Fat bombs are the perfect portable way to round out your macros and satisfy your cravings on a ketogenic diet. Plus, they’re easy to customize with luscious flavors that will keep you satisfied without the carbohydrates.

Most fat bombs contain a combination of healthy fats, binders (such as nut flours or shredded coconut), sugar-free sweeteners and flavorings. Not all fat bombs are created equal, though—you’ll want recipes with the best-quality fats to keep you satisfied and in ketosis.

From simple chocolate recipes to savory and dessert-themed fat bombs, these yummy fat bomb recipes strike the perfect balance between satisfying fat and delicious flavor.
