spiced fat bombs (fiber rich + nut free!)
FAT.
do you eat it? do you eat enough of it? are you afraid of it?? luckily, i feel like our mindsets are changing and no longer fearing that once deemed “bad” nutrient.
fat is essential, especially to all the functioning and health of the woman’s body.
whether or not we are getting enough good fats in our diet plays a key role in how our hormones function, our mood, our skin, our energy, satiation, and metabolism efficiency (to name a few).
remember this: fat in food does not equal fat on your body. & in order to burn fat for energy, you have to eat it.
once your body learns how to run off of fat more so than sugar for energy, you can go longer between meals (no need for snacking in most cases!) and will find yourself with an abundance of life force energy your body has to give! this is the main purpose of the “keto” diets i’m sure you all have heard of if not tried - to turn your body into a fat burning rather than sugar burning machine.
it works! but also remember: carbs are still necessary!
my body thrives on a high fat diet. that is why you’ll see most of my recipes are high fat, low-to-no sugar even though i do consume healthy complex carbs and fruit (mainly in the afternoon) and do not follow any specific diets.
try to introduce more healthy fats into your diet with these tasty (fiber rich!) spiced fat bombs:
1 1/2 c organic shredded unsweetened coconut
1 c organic hemp seeds
1 c sprouted organic pumpkin seeds
1 T ground organic flax seed
2 t cinnamon
1 c coconut butter
2 T organic vanilla bean ghee or coconut oil
to taste:
few drops of stevia
nutmeg
cardamom
cloves
vanilla bean powder
sea salt
optional: added adaptogens/mushrooms like ashwagandha, reishi, chaga, etc.
-add all ingredients to your food processor and process until everything comes together well. add a little water or more oil if needed to make it stick together.
-roll into 1” balls and sprinkle with cacao nibs. store in fridge or freezer. eat with a dollop of fermented coconut yogurt & fresh berries for a realllll nice treat!
