Fat Bombs: <\/strong>Guest blogger: Danielle Burch, MS, RD<\/p>\n

As a ketogenic dietitian, I know first-hand the ketogenic diet is anything but cookie-cutter.\u00a0Dietitians often\u00a0“fine tune” or make adjustments with keto diet prescriptions when certain challenges arise such as an inability to\u00a0finish 100% of meals or snacks, fat aversion, and\/or\u00a0lack of time to prep meals.\u00a0One easy solution is the\u00a0blog topic of the month, Fat Bombs!<\/p>\n

Fat Bombs are high fat, tasty morsels that can be used as a quick ketogenic snack or as a convenient fat source with meals. Fat Bombs can help\u00a0solve some of the common ketogenic challenges stated above. Here is how! Fat Bombs are small and portable, making them quick and easy to consume. They are a concentrated source of fat, allowing for a more typical appearing plate with protein and small amount of carbohydrate. They make for a great bedtime snack, leading to sustained ketosis overnight. In addition, Fat Bombs decrease food prep time because you can make one large batch consisting of four or fewer ingredients. Last, and certainly not least, Fat Bombs can aid in satisfying a savory or sweet tooth craving.<\/p>\n

You can find lots of great fat bomb recipes online. Simply choose your fat source, pick your favorite flavorings and add some ingredients for a crunch factor. Refrigerate or freeze to create solid bite. Another option is to use food molds<\/a> to create fun shapes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
