Fat bombs are a great way to get those good fats into your diet. If you’re following the keto diet, it’s essential to consume plenty of healthy, metabolism-boosting fats.
Keto Lemon Pistachio Fat Bombs Recipe
These lemon pistachio fat bombs combine Wildly Organic Almond Flour, Wildly Organic Coconut Oil, lemon zest, fresh lemon juice, a non-glycemic sweetener such as erythritol, and a pinch of mineral rich pink Himalayan salt. All you have to do is combine the ingredients and roll into balls for a quick and easy keto treat. Fun shaped candy molds or muffin liners made of silicone are also a great way to make fat bombs.
Nuts are a healthy source of nutrients and Wildly Organic Pistachios are no exception. Since they are soaked, phytic acid is reduced. This makes them more digestible and the nutrients in them better absorbed by the body. And, since they’re also dehydrated at low temperature they’re still a raw food. You can either make the fat bombs into small balls and roll into crushed pistachios or mix the pistachios into the almond flour mixture.
Three reasons to try pistachios:
- High in vitamin B6 – essential for maintaining healthy nervous and immune systems.
- Good for eye health – pistachios contain antioxidants such as lutein and zeaxanthin, which may help prevent macular disease.
- Good for your skin – fatty acids in pistachios help contribute to healthy skin.
These keto pistachio fat bombs get their bright and fresh flavor from lemon. Lemons are a wonderful option to add into these fat bombs because they are high in vitamin C and help balance blood sugar. Especially this time of year when the weather is dreary, it’s great to get some extra Vitamin C into your diet!
While a food processor is helpful, it’s not necessary to make fat bombs. If you don’t have a food processor, just mix everything by hand. Wildly Organic Pistachios are super easy to crush, too. Simply place in a zipper bag and gently roll a glass over it or pound with a heavy object. If using a food processor, first pulse the pistachios until chopped fairly finely.
Since they keep well in the freezer for some time, make a big batch. Then you’re always prepared for a sweet tooth flare up. Throw a few keto fat bombs into your lunch or Keto Protein Box for when you’re on the go. Going somewhere where there’s sugary temptations? Bring these along and stay strong. The bright, lemony flavor and crunchy pistachio goodness makes these keto fat bombs a favorite!
