Notes

  • Ingredients matter.  If you're trying to clean up your diet or lose weight, use quality ingredients like natural peanut butter or coconut oil, grass-fed butter, etc..
  • Added sugar is hidden in everything!  If you are watching your added sugar or carb intake, check the labels on your peanut butter and cocoa powder to make sure there is no added sugar or artificial sweeteners.
  • These chocolate peanut butter fat bombs are a great way to get in quality fat and make the perfect treat or late night snack, but don't overdo it as they are very dense!
  • For some added protein, add a scoop of whey or milk protein isolate.
