Mint Fat Bombs

These Mint Fat Bombs are a great way to satisfy your cravings for a sweet treat without all the carbs.

They’re delicious, naturally-colored, and are full of healthy fats, so they’re super filling and help you to curb your appetite in a delicious low-carb way.

Having healthy snacks around is a must to keep you on track with your special diet, and they need to be low-carb if you are dealing with candida.

One of the best ways to address sweet cravings while also satisfying hunger is with low-carb foods that are high in fat.

These Mint Fat Bombs are perfect for that, and these Coconut Butter Fat Bombs (with two flavor variations) are as well.

They’re made with simple, healthy ingredients, including one surprise ingredient for the natural-green color: parsley!

What Are Fat Bombs?

Fat bombs are bite-sized snacks (typically sweet treats) made of ingredients that are heavy in fat that help your body burn fat for fuel and also stay in ketosis.

I personally don’t subscribe to the keto diet strictly, but I like eating fat because it keeps me full, makes all foods taste better, and there are just so many other benefits of eating fat.

Why You’ll Love This Recipe

• High in Fat: Of course, this fat bomb recipe will help you meet your goals if you are on the keto diet. And these are also great for anyone whose not on the keto diet, but is watching their carb intake.
• All Natural Ingredients: This recipe is all natural and even has the benefit of added nutrition from the parsley, which gives it its nice minty-green color.
• Easy to Make: This fat bomb recipe is so simple to make, needing only six ingredients.

Why Eat Keto Fat Bombs

While you’ll want to eat these fat bombs because they taste good, they’re also a popular treat because they keep you full and help you avoid overeating.

Also, if you’re following a keto diet, they are full of fat, which doesn’t turn into glucose like carbs do.

Variations

• Drizzle: You can drizzle these fat bombs with regular chocolate or even sugar-free white chocolate.
• Add Chocolate Chips: Add some sugar-free chocolate chips to the recipe for a yummy chocolatey flavor and crunch.
• Coconut Mint Bombs: Add some shredded coconut to the mix before letting it firm up.
• Chocolate Coating: Instead of drizzling, you can dip the pieces into sugar-free chocolate or white chocolate to coat the whole thing for a crispy, chocolate crunchy coating.
• Fun Shapes: You can make these treats into fat bomb balls, or use molds to make some fun shapes.

Recipe Notes

• Coconut Oil: Use organic expeller-pressed coconut oil if you wish to avoid the coconutty flavor
• Seed/Nut Butter Options: For nut or seed butter, I’ve used both macadamias and pumpkin seed butter. Pumpkin Seed Butter is great as this adds natural green coloring. Those are the best nut/seed butters for this recipe. Substitute Coconut Butter for AIP.
• Sweetener Options: Any equivalent sweetener, liquid or granulated, to taste, will work.
• Chocolate Alternative: You can melt Homemade Chocolate Chips instead of buying chocolate chips.
• Trim Healthy Mama: This recipe fits in as an “S” on the Trim Healthy Mama plan.

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 cups coconut oil
• 1 1/5 cups nut or seed butter (made from soaked and dehydrated nuts is best)
• 1/8 teaspoon stevia extract (or other low-carb sweetener)
• 1/2 cup dried parsley flakes (or more, if desired)
• 2 teaspoons vanilla
• 1 teaspoon peppermint extract
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• sugar-free chocolate chips (for optional drizzle)

Instructions

• Melt coconut oil in small saucepan. Add remaining ingredients to blender, add coconut oil and blend until smooth.
• Pour into an 8×8 baking pan and chill until solid.
• Cut into small squares.
• Store in refrigerator to prevent softening.

Notes

• Seed/Nut Butter Options: For nut or seed butter, I’ve used both macadamias and pumpkin seed butter. Pumpkin Seed Butter is great as this adds natural green coloring. Those are the best nut/seed butters for this recipe. Substitute Coconut Butter for AIP.
• Sweetener Options: Any equivalent sweetener, liquid or granulated, to taste, will work.
• For Vitamix (or Blendtec) owners, there is no need to melt the coconut oil. Simply place all ingredients in the blender and process until smooth. Making these fat bombs in a high-speed blender makes them smoother and gives them a lighter color.
