My Keto Kitchen: Mastering Fat Bombs for a Sustainable Ketogenic Lifestyle

Most diet plans are difficult to stick to in the long term. Whether it’s a vegan diet, a low-fat diet, or a low-calorie diet, we often end up reverting to the most convenient way of eating. Simply thinking about preparing food in a new way, on a new schedule, and with new ingredients can consume a lot of energy and time, turning eating into a burden.

For example, you might see noticeable results within about 3 weeks of starting a ketogenic diet (Ketogenic Diet), but this change might be too drastic for you to stick with until then. At first, this diet can seem complicated and inconvenient, causing you to lose patience and return to your old habits. This is a common cycle we experience when trying any lifestyle change, but the problem isn’t the change itself—it’s the inconvenience and complexity.

The solution is to transform intimidating dietary changes into a convenient lifestyle, and this article will help you do just that, especially for the ketogenic diet. However, you don’t need to spend hours reading our content to learn how to do it. There’s a secret weapon you can start using immediately, without any knowledge of cooking, health, or the ketogenic diet—this is the “Fat Bomb.”

Fat bombs can be used in a variety of ways—as snacks, meal replacements, or side dishes. If you need some inspiration for fat bombs, you can visit our recipe section or check out some of our favorite recipes below:

Fat bombs—a quick way to boost fat intake on keto
Fat bombs are delicious combinations of ketogenic diet ingredients that can be used as snacks, desserts, or meal replacements. They contain over 90% fat, are easy to make, and come in a variety of flavors, from savory pizza fat bombs to sweet maple walnut fat bomb bars, and everything in between.

In addition to these, fat bombs offer many health benefits that you can’t get from high-protein meals. This is because the extra protein in high-protein meals may be used as fuel instead of fat. In contrast, fat bombs, due to their high-fat and low-protein nature, can help you burn more fat as fuel and maintain ketosis. This provides newcomers to the ketogenic diet with a quick start to ketosis and offers more energy and weight loss for those already on the diet long-term.

The two most common ingredients in fat bombs—coconut oil and high-fat dairy products—also have many health benefits. For example, coconut oil provides the body with ketone supplements. This is because coconut oil contains medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs), a type of fat that can be quickly absorbed and used as fuel (more on this later).

Even fat bombs containing high-fat dairy products have unique health benefits, as they contain vitamins, minerals, and a fatty acid called conjugated linoleic acid (CLA). This fatty acid has been found to prevent heart disease, enhance immune function, and reduce body fat. CLA is higher in dairy products from 100% grass-fed cows (keep this in mind when you start looking for high-fat dairy products for your fat bombs).

Later in this article, we will delve deeper into the science behind why fat bombs are so beneficial. But for now, let’s get started on how to make your own delicious fat bombs.

How to Make Keto Fat Bombs

Step 1—What flavor and texture do you want?

Before we dive into the basic steps of making fat bombs, you need to decide what kind of taste experience you want. Salty, sweet, sour, bitter, crunchy, chewy, melting, cheesy, and spicy can all be incorporated into fat bombs (although I wouldn’t recommend combining all of them at once).

Step 2—Find your fat base

Almost all fat bombs require a fat base that solidifies when chilled and remains solid at room temperature (slightly softened is acceptable). The most commonly used and reliable fat bases are coconut oil and butter (100% grass-fed butter is the healthiest). Another fat base you can use is cream cheese—which is also one of the reasons why savory pizza fat bombs are so delicious.

If you want to try other less common fat bases, you can try animal fats (such as beef tallow) or try melting cheese and mixing it with your keto ingredients.

Most common fat bases:

• Coconut oil
• Butter
• Cream cheese

Less common fat bases (you can experiment with):

• Animal fats (such as beef tallow or lard)
• Hard cheeses

Fat bases for dairy-free fat bombs:

• Ghee
• Coconut oil
• Nut-based cheeses (such as cashew cheese)
• Coconut cream
• Cocoa butter

Fat bases for vegetarian and vegan fat bombs:

• Coconut oil
• Nut-based cheeses (such as cashew cheese)
• Coconut cream
• Cocoa butter

Step 3—Get other keto ingredients

Once you’ve found the fat base for your fat bombs, you can look for or purchase the ingredients to add to your fat bombs from your pantry or store. Some ingredients that are always good to have on hand include salt, zero-calorie sweeteners (such as sucralose or erythritol), and your favorite powdered herbs and spices.

Here is an incomplete list of other ingredients you might consider adding to your fat bombs:

• Cocoa powder
• Vanilla
• Coconut flakes
• Low-calorie maple syrup
• Nuts
• Nut butters/powders
• Seeds (such as flaxseed, chia, or hemp seeds)
• Cinnamon
• Berries (such as blackberries or blueberries)
• Bacon bits
• Eggs
• Chopped cooked meats (such as salami, salmon, or steak)
• Chopped herbs
• Low-carb vegetables (such as scallions or onions)
• Low-carb fruits (such as wild blueberries or tomatoes)
• Cheese
• Heavy cream
• Sour cream
• Coconut cream
• Lemon juice

Use this list, your imagination, and your taste buds to guide you toward fat bomb paradise. The possibilities for flavor combinations are endless; this is just to get you started.

Step 4—Combine them

Combine your fat base and delicious keto ingredients into a delicious ball or bar.

To do this, you can melt or soften your fat base and mix or stir your ingredients together. A softened fat base can be shaped into balls or bars (whichever you prefer) and chilled. A melted fat base can be poured into a container, tray, or plate and chilled until solid.

That’s it.

That’s all. The hardest part is learning how to make fat bombs that taste good and look nice. But remember, fat bombs don’t always have to look like a piece of candy or a rolled ball. You can have fat bombs in many forms, such as cookies, mug cakes, or even as part of other meals like salads.

If you’re still unsure how to make your own fat bombs, here’s the simplest fat bomb recipe (and the one I use most often).

The Simplest Fat Bomb—Chocolate
You can make your own chocolate fat bombs with just two ingredients—cocoa powder (the healthiest is raw organic cocoa powder) and coconut oil.

Step 1—Melt and mix

Melt the coconut oil in a pan over low heat. Once the coconut oil is completely liquid, add an equal amount of cocoa powder and stir well until you have a uniform chocolate mixture. (I mean, if you used 1 cup of coconut oil, use 1 cup of cocoa powder.)

It’s best to start with smaller amounts, like a quarter cup of each ingredient. Once you’ve developed a delicious recipe, all bets are off—you can make as much chocolate as you like. It keeps well and can be portioned out if stored in the fridge.

Step 2—Customize and set

Now that you have the liquid chocolate, turn off the heat and add your desired ingredients. You can add some erythritol, stevia, or sucralose for sweetness, mix in your favorite nuts for crunch, or add cinnamon and vanilla for a unique flavor.

Once you’ve mixed in the additional ingredients, pour it into a dish, cookie sheet, or silicone mold, then place it in the fridge until it sets (2-4 hours).

Step 3—Eat and enjoy

Take it out of the fridge, break off a small piece of chocolate, and enjoy. Yes, making fat bombs is that simple. It might not look as pretty as store-bought chocolate bars, but it still tastes delicious and is healthier.

Meal Replacement Fat Bombs
The recipe for making chocolate fat bombs couldn’t be simpler, but what if you want to make a fat bomb that can serve as a meal replacement?

While some might wish otherwise, we can’t meet our nutritional needs by eating a pound of chocolate. This is where nutrient-rich fat bomb recipes like the Salmon Benny Breakfast Bomb come in handy.

Although this recipe has 10 ingredients and 17 steps, it looks intimidatingly complex compared to the chocolate fat bomb recipe. But even this fat bomb is easy to make, and when you’re done, you’ll feel like a culinary expert. You can click here to view the recipe and try making it yourself.

Here are some other fat bombs that can be eaten as meals or snacks:

• Savory Pizza Fat Bombs
• Mexican Chili Cheese Fat Bombs
• Italian-Flavored Fat Bombs
• Coconut Orange Popsicle Fat Bombs
• Autumn-Flavored Fat Bombs
• No-Bake Chocolate Peanut Butter Fat Bombs

Health Concerns About Fat Bombs
If you’re reading this article, you probably already know the health benefits of low-carb, high-fat diets like the ketogenic diet. But you might still be concerned about how some ingredients in fat bombs affect your health. Common fat bomb ingredients like butter, heavy cream, and cream cheese are thought to be unhealthy, but is this true?

High-Fat Dairy and Health—Butter Is Better
After decades of debate, many researchers have concluded that high-fat dairy shouldn’t be demonized. Contrary to the common belief that high-fat dairy leads to heart disease, studies have found no such link. In fact, high-fat dairy may be healthier than low-fat dairy, especially for colorectal cancer patients.

These positive findings are partly due to the beneficial effects of conjugated linoleic acid (CLA, the fatty acid we mentioned earlier) on health. CLA has powerful anti-inflammatory and anti-cancer properties, which explains why eating 2 servings of high-fat dairy daily can reduce the risk of colorectal cancer by 13%.

Eating high-fat dairy at dinner may also help your body burn fat while you sleep. This keeps your body in a fat-burning state without the need for stress hormones or reliance on sugar.

However, we can’t ignore the fact that some long-chain fatty acids in high-fat dairy may raise cholesterol levels. Contrary to popular belief, this may not be a bad thing, as high cholesterol does not cause heart disease.

As long as you consume plenty of low-carb vegetables, exercise, maintain low stress levels, and minimize toxic intake, your risk of heart disease will be low (regardless of your cholesterol levels).

This raises another question—what about artificial sweeteners? Sucralose, a commonly used artificial sweetener in many fat bomb recipes, isn’t it a toxic ingredient that should be avoided?

Artificial Sweeteners and Health
Just because an ingredient is “artificial” doesn’t imply it’s toxic and harmful. The line between natural and artificial is often blurry. Some ingredients considered artificial, like sucralose, are deemed toxic simply because they’re chemically synthesized. On the other hand, natural ingredients like carrageenan seem harmless because they’re extracted from natural foods.

But just because carrageenan is extracted from edible seaweed doesn’t mean it’s healthy. In fact, studies suggest that carrageenan may be toxic to our digestive systems. Sucralose, however, has been proven safe for human consumption.

Due to the popularity of artificial sweeteners, many have been extensively studied in various ways on many animals (including humans). Sucralose is one of the most studied sweeteners, but there’s still controversy.

Is Sucralose Toxic?
Sucralose (often confused with Splenda) is one of the most popular artificial sweeteners. It contains no calories and is 600 times sweeter than regular sugar, but what impact does it have on our health? Note that the filler ingredients in Splenda (such as maltodextrin) should be avoided. Opt for pure forms (usually sold in liquid form).

Many popular health experts, such as Dr. Mercola and Chris Kresser, strongly advise against artificial sweeteners because they may have potentially negative effects on gut microbiota.

However, a recent review on the safety of sucralose found that “the fate of sucralose in humans is primarily non-absorption, direct excretion through feces, with no evidence that sucralose is digested or broken down, nor is there loss of chlorine or metabolism by gut microbiota.”

This means that when we consume sucralose, most of it passes through our digestive tract without being absorbed or processed by gut bacteria. The review also addressed some of the studies cited by Dr. Mercola and Chris Kresser, which claimed that sucralose is harmful to gut microbiota. The researchers found these conclusions to be indirect because they used indirect measurement methods.

Other studies have found that sucralose has no toxic effects on humans, no impact on blood sugar or insulin, and does not accumulate in the body with long-term use. Given this evidence, the authors of the review concluded, “Multiple human clinical trials in healthy and diabetic subjects indicate that sucralose is safe as a non-caloric sweetener in food and beverages.”

Aspartame and Health—Avoid Aspartame
Another popular artificial sweetener is aspartame, commonly known as Equal or NutraSweet. Research on this sweetener is not as extensive as that on sucralose, and the evidence is not as clear. However, many studies point to potential toxic effects on the antioxidant systems of rats—systems similar to ours.

Due to the toxic effects of aspartame, which are not seen with sucralose, this is because aspartame is broken down and enters the liver, while sucralose remains in the digestive tract and is excreted without being broken down. Therefore, it’s best to steer clear of aspartame.

If you’re still considering using a non-caloric sweetener, which should you choose? Should you opt for more natural options like stevia or erythritol?

Natural Sweeteners and Health
Is stevia safe? Stevia is the most “natural” non-caloric sweetener, derived from the leaves of a green plant that resembles mint, and it has been used as a medicine and sweetener for hundreds of years, so it must be healthy—right?

Many studies conclude that stevia is safe and may have benefits for blood pressure, blood sugar, and inflammation. However, a recent study from UCLA is more cautious.

They found that some compounds in stevia may be mutagenic (alter DNA). For example, one compound in stevia—stevioside—caused DNA breaks in the blood, spleen, liver, and brain cells of rats. However, this only occurred at doses far exceeding what we typically consume.

At normal physiological doses, stevia has been found to have anti-tumor properties—the opposite effect of what the UCLA researchers discovered. These conflicting results can be explained by one principle: moderation.

If you use stevia as a meal replacement, you might experience negative side effects. However, if you use it as a sugar substitute, stevia may improve your health in many ways.

A Better Natural Sugar Substitute—Erythritol
Erythritol is a sugar alcohol, a low-calorie (not zero-calorie) sweetener, and it’s the least sweet of all the sweeteners mentioned (70% as sweet as sugar).

The only possible negative effect of erythritol is nausea and stomach discomfort. However, this has only been observed in people who consume 50 grams of erythritol at one time.

To provide some context, the Italian-flavored fat bomb recipe uses 25 grams (2 tablespoons) of erythritol, which is divided into 24 1.5 x 1.5 x 0.75-inch deep fat bomb squares. Even if you ate all 24 fat bombs at once, you wouldn’t experience any negative side effects.

However, don’t assume all sugar alcohols are as safe as erythritol. This is because other sugar alcohols like xylitol tend to cause more side effects at lower doses.

The Best Sweetener? All Three
After sorting through the scientific evidence, it’s clear that erythritol, stevia, and sucralose are all safe substitutes for sugar.

Here are some specific notes about each sweetener:

• Stevia may have a slight edge over other sweeteners due to its medicinal properties.
• The sweetest (and most studied) is sucralose, but its sweetness might increase your appetite, leading you to eat more.
• The least sweet of all sweeteners is erythritol. Using it as a sugar substitute can satisfy your sweet cravings without stimulating your appetite as much as sweeter sweeteners.

Each sweetener has a unique sweetness and is highly versatile. By trying our fat bomb recipes, you’ll have the chance to taste each sweetener and find your favorite (or combination).

The Healthiest Fat Bomb Ingredients
No matter which sweetener you choose, it’s best to limit its use. There are also many other ways to make your fat bombs more delicious and healthier without using too much sweetener. Here’s a list of health-promoting fat bomb ingredients to inspire you with ideas for use and reasons.

Coconut Oil
Coconut oil is the perfect fat for sweet snacks and dessert fat bombs, but this isn’t the only reason you should always have it in your kitchen.

The medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs) in coconut oil are higher than in any other fat source. But since MCTs are technically saturated fats, does this mean they’re stored as fat and raise cholesterol?

This requires some biochemistry knowledge. Saturated fats differ based on the number of carbon atoms they contain. MCTs (fats with 6-12 carbon atoms) are different from long-chain fatty acids (fats with more than 12 carbon atoms) because most MCTs are transported directly to the liver after digestion, rather than traveling through the body’s lymphatic system like long-chain fatty acids.

Once MCTs reach the liver, they are converted into energy and other metabolites, rather than being stored as fat. These metabolites include ketones, which can be used as an immediate energy source by the brain and heart. This is why coconut oil is thought to help you enter and stay in ketosis. The MCTs in coconut oil can also increase satiety, reducing your cravings for carbohydrates and sugar.

If you haven’t noticed any positive effects from consuming coconut oil, try adding pure MCT oil or caprylic oil (such as KetoMCT) supplements to your fat bombs. MCT oil supplements primarily contain 8-carbon and 10-carbon MCTs, while caprylic oil contains only 8-carbon MCTs—the most palatable and easily absorbed form of MCT.

Taking a small amount daily (about one tablespoon) of MCT oil or caprylic oil will almost certainly put you into ketosis. Coconut oil alone may not translate into ketones because it’s mostly composed of the MCT with the most carbon atoms, making it harder to absorb than pure MCT oil and caprylic oil.

High-Fat Dairy
We briefly explored the health benefits of high-fat dairy earlier (especially dairy from 100% grass-fed cows). High-fat dairy not only contains the anti-inflammatory fatty acid CLA but is also rich in all fat-soluble vitamins (vitamins A, D, E, and K) and various B vitamins and vitamin C. No vegetable can compare.

High-fat dairy also contains essential minerals such as calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium, selenium, and zinc, making it the perfect food to supplement the common side effect of ketosis—mineral loss.

However, it’s important to choose low-carb dairy products such as heavy cream, sour cream, cream cheese, cheese, and butter, as milk and yogurt contain too much sugar (even if the sugar isn’t added during processing). Contrary to popular belief, high-fat dairy is more nutritious than low-fat dairy, containing more vitamins, antioxidants, and healthy fats.

Spices
Spices are not only delicious but also offer various health benefits. For example, cinnamon is a powerful antibacterial agent and immune system enhancer that may be able to prevent and treat antibiotic-resistant Staphylococcus infections.

Cloves are another spice with antibacterial properties and are particularly noteworthy for having the highest antioxidant activity of all spices.

Adding cinnamon, cloves, and nutmeg to your next fat bomb will turn any bland dessert into a delicious autumn-flavored treat.

Herbs
Herbs are another delicious ingredient that can be added to fat bombs, and they’re rich in vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants.

For example, a few tablespoons of fresh basil can transform a bland “pizza-flavored” fat bomb into a savory pizza fat bomb that’s even more delicious than a real slice of pizza.

Another herb that can enhance the flavor of savory fat bombs is rosemary. Even the scent of rosemary can enhance cognitive function, and just a sprinkle of powder can make savory fat bombs more delicious.

Low-Carb Fruits
Yes, you can add fruit to your fat bombs! But make sure it’s low in carbs, such as blueberries. Adding some blueberries to a chocolate fat bomb is a great way to add natural sweetness and health benefits that you won’t get from sucralose or erythritol. Many low-carb fruits like blueberries are rich in anthocyanins—powerful antioxidants that can protect us from heart disease and cancer and may even enhance cognitive function.

Lemons are another healthy low-carb fruit that you can use to add acidity to your fat bombs. For example, we use lemon juice in the hollandaise sauce of our Salmon Benny Breakfast Bomb to add acidity. Lemons also provide unique flavonoid compounds that have anti-inflammatory and anticancer effects on damaged cells, which is why lemon juice is included in many “detox” drinks.

You can read our Low-Carb Fruits Guide to learn more about which fruits can be used.

Low-Carb Vegetables
No meal-replacement fat bomb is complete without one or two low-carb vegetables. One of the healthiest and most delicious ingredients we use in our Salmon Benny Breakfast Bomb is a vegetable. What’s that vegetable? Chives.

Chives are part of the Allium vegetable family, which means they share the flavor and health benefits of garlic, onions, and leeks. The active compound responsible for the health benefits of Allium vegetables is called allicin. Allicin activates anti-inflammatory and detoxification processes, protecting us from diseases, heavy metals, and brain damage.

However, you don’t have to chop chives to get these health benefits. You can substitute with garlic powder and onion powder. We use both in our Mexican Chili Cheese Fat Bombs to make them even more delicious.

Leafy greens and other low-carb vegetables also have many health benefits, but don’t force them into your fat bombs—instead, pair them with your fat bombs. For example, you can place fat bombs on top of a salad to make it a healthier, more satisfying meal.

Alternatively, you can create a fat bomb salad paired with a protein-rich piece of meat. For example, you can grill a steak and pair it with our avocado-lime seasoned Mexican-style cabbage salad. If that doesn’t suit your taste, go for a classic route and pair it with a mock potato salad.

You can read our Low-Carb Vegetables Guide to learn more about which vegetables can be used.

Nuts and Seeds
Nuts and seeds can provide the protein, fat, and fiber missing from fat bombs. Seeds like flaxseed, sesame, and chia are also high in lignans, which can protect us from inflammation, carcinogens, and cancer. All you need to do is add them to your fat bombs to reap these benefits.

The most popular seed in fat bombs isn’t flaxseed, sesame, or chia—it’s cocoa beans. Although you won’t find cocoa beans in many fat bomb recipes (the seeds of the cocoa tree), its powdered form (cocoa powder) is widely used in many keto-friendly desserts. Check out our coconut slice cookies for some inspiration!

Even if you don’t like the taste of chocolate, you might want to use cocoa powder to boost brain function and protect against heart disease. To ensure you get all the health benefits of cocoa powder, it’s best to use raw organic cocoa powder. The quality of cocoa powder matters because most cocoa powder is Dutch-processed, which makes it less healthy.

Nuts are another great addition to fat bombs. Many studies show that nuts are a healthy food that should be part of everyone’s diet. This is because they’re rich in fats, antioxidants, fiber, and protein, which work together to improve health and body composition. Adding crushed nuts or nut butter to fat bombs is one of the best ways to make them healthier, more delicious, and more satisfying.

Dairy-Free and Vegan-Friendly Fat Bombs
Dairy-Free Fat Bombs
If you have lactose intolerance or are allergic to milk proteins, you don’t have to miss out on the deliciousness of high-fat dairy fat bombs. It’s very easy to turn any fat bomb recipe into a dairy-free one.

Whenever a recipe calls for butter, you can substitute with coconut oil or ghee (clarified butter). Ghee is butter with all potential milk proteins removed, allowing you to get some of the benefits of dairy without consuming lactose or milk proteins.

You can also substitute sour cream and heavy cream with coconut cream. Each brand of coconut cream has a different texture, so some experimentation may be needed before you find the right one. Native Forest is a company that produces coconut cream with various textures, which you can use.

So coconut oil and ghee can replace butter, but what if you want to try a cream cheese-based savory pizza fat bomb? Welcome to cashew cheese.

A company called Treeline produces various textures and flavors of cashew cheese, which is a perfect substitute for cream cheese. In my opinion, Treeline’s cashew cheese can be a delicious alternative. I’ve used it to make vegan fat bombs, and it works wonderfully.

Vegan Fat Bombs
If you’re vegetarian or vegan, use all the suggestions from the dairy-free fat bombs section (except for ghee, which comes from milk).

Substitute butter with coconut oil, heavy cream or sour cream with coconut cream, and use Treeline’s cashew cheese instead of cream cheese. By doing this, you can enjoy both the ketogenic diet and a vegan lifestyle.

If you’re a vegan who doesn’t use stoves or microwaves, you can use a blender or melt the fat in a smaller bowl placed in a larger bowl of hot water.

Summary
One of the most challenging parts of any diet is making it simple and convenient, and this is especially true for the ketogenic diet. In a world where most delicious and convenient foods are high in sugar, limiting carbohydrates is no easy task.

However, there’s a way to make sticking to the ketogenic diet easier than indulging in unhealthy, carb-rich foods—and that’s with fat bombs.

Fat bombs are delicious, versatile, and easy to make. You can create a healthy keto-friendly version of almost any sugary, unhealthy food and satisfy every craving without leaving ketosis.

All you need is coconut oil, high-fat dairy products (such as butter and cream cheese), sweeteners (such as sucralose, stevia, or erythritol), other ingredients (such as nuts, seeds, spices, herbs, low-carb vegetables, and low-carb fruits), and a creative mind (or recipe).

Even if you can’t consume dairy products, you can still make (almost) any fat bomb recipe you like. Simply substitute all high-fat dairy products with coconut oil, coconut cream, and cashew cheese.
