While working with clients going through the RESTART sugar detox program, one of the top concerns they have is what to eat for snacks and how to kill those awful cravings that hit at odd hours, especially during their first week. The key is to always be prepared and to have the right snacks available, so you don’t go off-plan with a “what the heck do I eat” feeling and grab that box of sugar-filled cereal. One of my favorite ways to stay on track is to eat high fat snack bites, called fat bombs, that’ll fill you up quickly while killing those cravings. I love using coconut anything to make fat bombs because it’s easy to digest and the body primarily uses it for energy, instead of storing it as fat. I recently made these blueberry walnut coconut fat bombs that really did the job for me.
You can cool and harden these fat bombs in a prettier silicon mold, but I’m lazy and I just leave them in a loaf pan in the fridge, then cut them into squares once they harden. The walnuts add a delicious crunch to each bite, and the blueberries give a slight sweetness that you might be craving without throwing your blood sugar off balance. I highly recommend you make a batch for the week to get ready for your new low-sugar lifestyle, and see how great you can feel!

How many calories do these have?
Hi there, I don’t put nutritional info for my recipes, and I’m actually not sure about it. I’m all about supporting eating in tune with what you are body is craving and needing so I do not count calories or macronutrients. If you are curious, you can use apps like MyFitnessPal to input each ingredient. Hope that helps!
Looking forward to trying these bombs…looks and sounds like my kind of nibbles 🙂
Hope you enjoy it!
