Pecan Fudge Fat Bombs

Over at Omg Keto Yum we have been obsessed with Pecans lately. Last week I made a delicious Pecan Butter. After making (and devouring) the pecan butter from last week I decided to create Keto Pecan Fudge Fat Bombs. Now these fat bombs are amazing. Make a double batch because they are going to go fast!

Pecan Fudge Fat Bombs why?

The first thing to remember when you are eating a keto diet is fat is fuel. From time to time you will need an energy pick me up. With this in mind I love to make fat bombs. I perfer to make fat bombs that are not only packed with healthy fats but also packed with good excellent nutrition.

Why you should be eating more Pecans

1 oz of Pecans clock in at 1 carb, 20 fat and 3 protein! That is 92% fat! Pecans are good for you because pecans are full of healthy monounsaturated fats and contain very few saturated fats. These fat packed nuts are a great source of oleic acid. This fatty acid has been shown to reduce inflammation, improve immune system functioning, and potentially reduce your risk of cardiovascular disease. With this in mind pecans make an extraordinary keto snack.

Why you should eat more Coconut Butter

• It’s rich in lauric acid, which boosts immunity and destroys harmful bacteria, viruses, and funguses.
• It actually boosts your metabolism, which aids in weight loss and increases energy levels.
• It’s packed with healthy fats, so you feel full longer.
• It’s full of essential amino acids, calcium, and magnesium.
• Basically, coconut butter is just plain awesome. (source)
