Amazing, Energizing Keto Fat Bombs
Every keto dieter out there needs fat bombs in their life. What are fat bombs? Just a delicious little snack ball that is loaded with healthy fats. As you likely know, the keto diet revolves around fats. Without carbs in your diet, your body needs fats to use as fuel. So, when you are feeling a little low on energy, you can just pop one of these sweet, delicious fat bombs in your mouth and poof! Energy galore! A fat bomb is like a burst of energy in one delicious bite.
Of course, when you want some energy (and therefore some fat), you also want something that tastes great. No one wants to just sit around eating a stick of butter! Don’t worry, we have this incredible cheesecake fat bomb recipe for you that will give you the healthy fats you need and also taste like you are eating a dessert. No carbs here though! Just straight keto goodness.
These low carb cheesecake fat bombs start off with cream cheese. Any good cheesecake should be packed with cream cheese! Cream cheese is also full of delicious, energizing fats that are necessary to any fat bomb. Our recipe also has butter to give the bombs a smooth texture. We highly recommend using grass-fed butter as it has been shown to have more antioxidants, vitamin A and a high portion of unsaturated fats than regular butter. It also tends to taste better which is a bonus for your cheesecake bites.
We flavor these bombs with vanilla extract but also with cheesecake extract. If you have never heard of this wonderful flavoring, get ready to be amazed. Cheesecake extract tastes exactly like real cheesecake but it has no carbs and is super concentrated. One drop of this potent stuff and the flavor of freshly baked cheesecake will spread throughout your batter. You can find cheesecake extract online (a quick google search will do!) and one little bottle will last you a while so it is well worth the investment. If you can’t find cheesecake extract, don’t worry, just swap it for some more vanilla extract. The cheesecake fat bombs will still taste wonderful.
When you need energy, your body naturally craves something sweet. We as humans have been programmed to associate sugar with energy so, when our body is feeling sluggish, our brain will tell us we need sweetness. Of course the keto diet is all about reprogramming that need for sweet with a need for fat. But, in order to give our brain what it wants, we made these fat bombs nice and sweet without adding any carbs. Powdered erythritol is our secret weapon here and a delicious one at that! It has a great sweet taste (no metallic flavor like some artificial sweeteners) and it melts right into the fat bomb batter thanks to the powdered texture. Aren’t low carb sweeteners fantastic! They make keto dieting so simple.
So do you think you are ready to give this delicious cheesecake fat bomb recipe a try? It will likely become your go-to source of energy as well as a snack you crave. I know I want to go have a quick bite right now! I mean, who doesn’t want cheesecake right now?
