Fat bombs are no longer the reserve of Keto dieters. Essentially a bite-size energy bar, fat bombs are also known as energy balls or energy bites. They’re sweet little tasty morsels loaded with good fats that satisfy cravings and fill you up without the added sugars, carbs or bad fats.
Fat Bombs are nutritious and delicious but also incredibly portable. Like our No Bake Coconut Balls and decadent Avocado Chocolate Truffles, they make a perfect picnic sweet treat without the guilt. A super simple no-bake dessert perfect for catering to a large group or for a hiking picnic.
There are loads of varieties of fat bombs, such as our no-bake chocolate and tahini balls. You can also find quite a few spins on the energy ball in our portable picnic desserts edition.
This recipe caters to the chocolate lover with nutty flavours (Peanut butter shines again. As we see with these 2 ingredients peanut butter cookies, it’s one of the most versatile ingredients for sweets) and hints of coconut – a popular flavour combination in anyone’s book. This recipe is also vegan friendly for a quick and tasty sweet addition to a vegan picnic menu.
