sdafergu Posted January 19, 2014 Share Posted January 19, 2014 My boyfriend has been doing keto and I learned about fat bombs with them. Basically, they consist of coconut oil, almond butter, 100% cocoa, and a sweetener of some sort. Obviously a sweetener is a no-no, so I've made them with all the same ingredients and a sprinkling of cinnamon or pumpkin pie spice mix instead. Is this okay as a small daily treat (1-2 tbsp mixture) per day? Or is it too much SWYPO? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GFChris Posted January 19, 2014 Share Posted January 19, 2014 Sorry, this is a Paleo-ified treat, and not allowed on a Whole30. Save it for after you complete a Whole30. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sdafergu Posted January 19, 2014 Author Share Posted January 19, 2014 Thanks for the quick response! Yes, I thought that might be the case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simmie Posted October 18, 2015 Share Posted October 18, 2015 Further question on this......for those looking for other avenues to get their fat in that don't eat avocados or olives or mayo, would a combination of cashew butter, avocado oil and a small amount of lemon or lime juice made into dollops to be used on a plate still be considered off limits? Trust me, these things are not what I'd grab for fat for the first thing (not a treat).... To me, these are just a different avenue to get fat in. No cocoa/sweetener, no vanilla?

Trust me, these things are not what I'd grab for fat for the first thing (not a treat).... To me, these are just a different avenue to get fat in. No cocoa/sweetener, no vanilla? There are many fat choices: clarified butter, coconut oil, coconut milk, bacon fat, tallow, etc. Instead of making a dollop like you described, use the cashew butter to making something like sunshine sauce. If you like avocado oil and lemon together, make a dressing or mayo with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kirkor Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 dollops to be used on a plate To dip your food in? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simmie Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 No, you freeze 'em on parchment paper -- it's mostly for those who have had issues getting their fats in. Freeze 'em on parchment, then move to the fridge and pop 'em like pills.....like I said, not for most, but for those who can't stand coconut oil (that would be me, but I love other fat sources), avocado oil, mayo makes 'em gag, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
missmary Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 no. use fats to make food. eat food. don't try to replace it with a food-like item you don't have to taste or chew. If someone doesn't like any fat sources, then they will need to work a little harder to transition to eating a whole30-style menu. Skipping that transition doesn't do them any favors.

PeytonsMom Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 I know this is an old thread, but the times I have made fat bombs, they were to eat alongside an apple (instead of dipping)...so....still a no-no? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carlaccini Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 Yep! still a no go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oralia Acosta Posted August 2, 2016 Share Posted August 2, 2016 Why aren't fat bombs allowed without the sweeteners? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JulieP757 Posted August 2, 2016 Share Posted August 2, 2016 Because you are attempting recreate a "treat". Fat bombs do not fit the WF30 template. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
