Want to make it a special day? Add some chocolate. Want to make it an even better one? Add peanut butter, too.
Chocolate makes any day a special one, but adding peanut butter makes it that much better. I’ve got a Chocolate Peanut Butter Fat Bombs recipe that will satisfy your sweet tooth while also aiding in your keto diet.
There are many keto fat bomb recipes but this one will make you think you’re indulging in a Reese’s peanut butter cup, only without the sugar and guilt.
It provides a good amount of healthy fats to help you stay in ketosis. Fat bombs are designed to boost your ketone production, which helps you stay focused and satisfied.
My recipe uses real peanut butter, but keep in mind that this might not be considered as strict keto to some people. Peanuts are a legume, and you might avoid this if you have any kind of allergy.
But unlike other legumes, peanuts are a good source of fat. They also contain fiber, which helps keep the net carbs down.
You can use a keto-friendly nut for this recipe if you wish. Almond butter would work well. But as long as you keep your portions down, you can eat peanut butter on a keto diet.
Besides, nothing pairs together quite like peanut butter and chocolate! It’s a winning taste combination.
This recipe also calls for melted butter, vanilla extract, raw cocoa powder, and the keto-friendly sweetener of your choice.
Make sure you buy a brand of cocoa that is unsweetened. Raw cacao powder works well because it’s unprocessed and contains the most flavonoid antioxidants.
Stay away from peanut butter than contains added sugar and other flavoring. Your peanut butter should contain peanuts from organic, non-GMO peanuts and nothing else except for maybe sea salt!
How to Make Sugar Free Peanut Butter Chocolate Fat Bombs
This recipe uses two of the same batches of ingredients. The only difference is that one has chocolate in it and the other is just peanut butter.Instead of making peanut butter balls, I made peanut butter cups.
To make, add the melted butter (or coconut oil if you prefer), peanut butter, vanilla extract, cocoa powder (or sugar free chocolate chips or dark baking chocolate), erythritol (or a few drops of liquid stevia) to a bowl and mix.
Take another bowl and mix the same ingredients without the cocoa powder.
Now, the masterpiece production process begins. Add the melted chocolate mix to muffin paper liners and refrigerate for 15 minutes.
Once set, add peanut butter topping to the top of the chocolate and put back in the fridge.
You will want to let these sit in the refrigerator to set until they are firm before eating (if you can). Store these Keto Peanut Butter fatbombs in an airtight container in the fridge for later.

“Fat bombs should be something you use around your training or when you're in a bind on-the-go,” she adds. “Generally, one to three per day will be sufficient,” says Garrison.
Fat bombs are OK for those following a keto diet, says Norton, as they keep dieters energized and full. "If you're not on a keto diet, however, fat bombs can make you gain weight since your body will likely store all that fat found in these snacks rather than burn them," she cautions.
If you're eating fat bombs to lose weight, you need to eat them as part of a low-carb diet. They can't do their job if you're loading up on carbs! Eat them once a day as a snack or to up the level of healthy fats in your diet. Many people eat one for breakfast or lunch on the go—and they're full.
If you aren't familiar with fat bombs, they are low-carb, high-fat, low-sugar treats made with only keto-friendly ingredients, designed to replicate high-carb goodies by providing keto substitutes in place of normal dessert ingredients. The best part is, they won't take you out of ketosis.
A final guideline: Even if you're on keto, portions of fat still matter, says Jill Gullotta, RDN, the founder of Jill Gullotta Nurition in White Plains, New York. “How much you specifically eat depends on your calorie needs and goals, but overconsuming fat can cause weight gain,” she says.
Yet, consuming too many high-calorie ketogenic snacks like nuts, nut butter, fat bombs, cheese and jerky may cause your weight loss to plateau. Though these snacks are healthy in moderation, it's best to choose lower-calorie options if you're having more than one snack session per day.
You can enjoy two tablespoons of this popular spread at a time, even up to five tablespoons, without going over 50 grams of carbs in a day (the upper limit for the standard keto diet) and getting kicked out of ketosis. Also, this amount should leave room for other foods even after eating peanut butter.
You can eat more keto fat bombs if they are for day-time snacking, or a pre and post-workout energy booster, but limit intake if it's part of your main meal or a dessert.
Getting into ketosis takes about two to four days, on average, because that's how long it takes for glycogen reserves to be depleted after someone starts eating a keto diet with under 50 grams of carbs per day. Fasting, limiting carbs, and MCT oil supplements can speed up the ketosis timeline.
It's okay to have a cheat day while observing keto. But keto practitioners recommend you plan your macros carefully. Don't go all out on your cheat day — know your limits so you don't get knocked out of ketosis and become unable to get back.
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.
Fat bombs made with a high quality fat called MCT oil can even curb cravings. MCTs raise your ketone levels. Ketones suppress ghrelin (aka your hunger hormone) and increase cholecystokinin (CCK), which makes you feel full. Studies also show that MCT oil can significantly boost your workout.
Crafted for optimal low carb ketogenic nutrition, these Bombs are made with coconut oil MCTs, have 8 grams of fat and 3 grams of fiber. No gluten and no artificial sweeteners, flavors or colors. With only 1 net carb and zero added sugar†, you can curb cravings between meals and still stick with The Plan.

It varies from person to person and depends upon one's initial body fat percentage. One can expect around 2–3% drop in body fat after starting keto diet for a week/10days. After that if your body fat percentage is around, 40–50%-The rate of weight loss will be constantly high,till you shed all the fat.
Fat bombs, on the other hand, are so high in fat and low in protein that they will help you burn more fat for fuel and stay in ketosis. This provides ketogenic diet newcomers with a ketosis kick start and long term ketogenic dieters with an increase in energy and weight loss.
