Hey Keto people! These fat bombs are your best friend. Don't let the name scare you—these little balls are the perfect way to curb your hunger.

WHAT EXACTLY IS A FAT BOMB?

Fat bombs are high in healthy fats and low in carbs, exactly what you need for a keto diet. Just make sure that your peanut butter and chocolate chips are sugar free. (We love Lily's Dark Chocolate Chips.)

Fat bombs keep you full longer, promote ketosis, and can even increase metabolism. Store 'em in your fridge and grab a bomb any time you feel your energy waning. Your stomach will thank you.
