I absolutely love these keto-friendly fat bombs! The recipe comes from Real Balanced. I have been sort of tolerating other fat bomb recipes. I’ve never really tasted one that I can rate a “10”. These almond butter fat bombs come close.
The combination of almond butter and coconut oil makes this recipe a winner. Sweetened with Lakanto’s classic monkfruit sweetener, you will never miss the sugar.
What Makes This Recipe Keto-Friendly
Almond Butter. Almond butter is an excellent source of good fat, Vitamin E, magnesium, potassium, protein and fiber. Almond butter also has a low-glycemic index which is great for keto dieters. I buy almond butter in bulk at Whole Foods. It is a staple in my kitchen.
Coconut Oil. A great source of good fat, I use Nutiva’s Coconut oil for most of my baking.
MonkFruit Sweetener. My go-to Monkfruit sweetener is from Lakanto. They have a nice variety of sweeteners that are great for baking.
Unsweetened Chocolate Chips. I have really learned to love unsweetened chocolate chips and have fallen for PASCHA Organic Dark Chocolate Baking Chips which are 100% cacao.
This recipe calls for pouring the batter in an 8×8 pan. I used parchment paper baking cups instead. This made them super easy to grab right out of the refrigerator, and I didn’t have to fuss with cutting them in bars.
These keto treats disappeared quickly! My husband, who has a sweet tooth and doesn’t do keto, loved them. So did my daughter.
These are no-bake treats so they are super easy to make. Enjoy!
Bam! Made a delicious keto broccoli cheese soup in the Instant Pot. I got the recipe from Real Balanced. It’s a good one.
I added some red onions to bring in some color and didn’t have to thicken the soup as suggested in the recipe. It was very good and ready in about 10 minutes!

I love making keto fat bombs. These keto chocolate fat bombs are loaded with healthy fat and make a great keto dessert or snack. I typically make a batch and store them in the refrigerator. Before eating, I typically bring them a little closer to room temperature so they are delightfully soft and basically melt in your mouth.
The fat that is used for these keto-friendly treats is mainly butter (from grass-fed cows) and organic cream cheese. There are a few recipes out there that use coconut oil or manna and you can try substituting the butter from coconut oil to see if it suits your taste. I find that the butter gives the fat bombs are butter cookie like taste which I love.
The Sweetener
I use Lakanto Monkfruit sweetener. It is keto-friendly with zero calories and bakes and tastes just like sugar with no insulinogenic effects on my end. Everyone is different so you may want to substitute Monk Fruit for stevia or another sweetener that is keto and baking friendly.
The Butter
I never thought about using raw butter to make fat bombs. You might be thinking “yuck” since this is a no-bake treat, but let me tell you – the butter makes these fat bombs delicious. And why not take advantage of getting some grass-fed, organic butter in your diet?
Why Grass Fed Butter?
Cows that eat grass, as opposed to grains, produce all sorts of good things such as omega-3 fatty acids, fat-soluble vitamins minus all the bad stuff that is typically in regular butter such as toxins, added hormones and antibiotics (grain fed cows are often sick). There is also evidence to suggest that grass-fed butter may protect from you from cardiovascular disease.
The Chocolate
The chocolate used for the keto fat bombs is Guittard. It’s delicious! Guittard has been making chocolate for five generations. They combine generation-old techniques with innovative blends and approaches to craft their premium chocolates. Their 100% cacao baking bar is used for these keto fat bombs. The dark chocolate bars are unsweetened and have a distinct liquor that delivers flavors of fruit and spices amidst deep base chocolate.
Here’s the simple recipe:

- 8 ounces cream cheese
- 1/2 cup grass-fed butter
- 2 squares unsweetened chocolate
- 1/2 cup Lakanto MonkFruit Sweetener
- 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1/8 cup unsweetened coconut flakes
-
Put the cream cheese and butter in a bowl and soften in the microwave for about 30-45 seconds.
-
Melt the chocolate in a separate small bowl in the microwave.
-
Combine all ingredients along with the Lakanto Monkfruit sweetener and heavy whipping cream.
-
Mix using a hand mixer. Scoop into large baking cups and sprinkle with shredded coconut. Refrigerate for 45 minutes and enjoy!

Cream cheese makes some great keto snacks with three ounces of it having around 29 grams of fat and only 3.5 grams of carbs.
I am from Maryland where the blue crab rules. I am often found opening crabs, making keto-friendly crab cakes, thinking about crabs or creating recipes with crab meat.
Here’s a wonderful recipe for Keto Cajun Crab Cream Cheese Spread. It also can be used as a dip. I often buy it at my local Amish market but found a great way to make it at home.
Usage ideas:
- Spread on a piece of low carb bread
- Serve with Whisp Cheese Crisps
- Scoop with a raw piece of celery, cauliflower or broccoli
Enjoy!

There are always questions about baking while following a Keto diet.
Can you? Should you? How do you?
Good news! Baking is still very possible, and keto-ers do plenty of it! The key is finding substitutes for white flour and sugar.
Almond and coconut flours are great substitutes for white flour, but what about the sugar?
Lakanto Monk Fruit sweeteners make excellent alternatives for cookie and cake recipes that call for sugar.
What is Lakanto Monk Fruit Sweetener?
Lakanto Monk Fruit Sweetener is the only zero calorie, zero glycemic sweetener that is just like sugar with a 1:1 replacement. It is made of non-GMO erythritol and Monk Fruit extract and is excellent for baking and cooking.
Classic Sweetener
Classic Lakanto is a white sugar substitute made to replace sugar at a 1:1 ratio.
Golden Sweetener
Golden Lakanto is a brown sugar substitute made to replace brown sugar at a 1:1 ratio.
Powdered Sweetener
Lakanto’s Powdered Sweetener, much like the name entails, is a substitute for Powdered Sugar. Unlike Lakanto Classic and Golden, Lakanto Powdered Sweetener is double the sweetness of traditional Powdered Sugar (a 2:1 substitute).
So I’ve been swooning over all these lovely smoothie bowls I’ve been seeing everywhere (they look delicious) but their nutritional content turns them into carbohydrate and sugar-laden pits of insulinogenic mayhem.
“But there’s bananas, kiwi and pineapple in my smoothie bowl, and fruit is good for you, right?”
I wish more people knew the truth about fruit. No thank you. I’d rather eat a candy bar because that is what most fruit is to me. Candy. So what is a girl to do when making a smoothie bowl?
Make it keto!
I am never fearful of mixing things up a bit and make my meals a little unconventional. Here’s a spinach almond, macadamia “smoothie” bowl I made today. Very simple! Just microwave 3-4 cups of spinach for about 3 minutes. Take the spinach out of the microwave and toss it around until it softens and forms a nice loaf. Spread 2 tablespoons of almond butter to next the spinach. Drizzle liberally with macadamia oil. Add 1/2 bag or so of Whisps Cheese Crisps. Done and yum!
This “smoothie” bowl is loaded with good fats (macadamia oil and almond butter). The cooked spinach has about 839 mg of potassium which is essential for maintaining fluid and electrolyte balance while eating keto. Your body may not ever miss the fruit.
Give it a try!
This keto-friendly, low carb cauliflower broccoli salad is a family favorite. My aunt used to make it. It was one of her favorite casserole recipes. My mother used to make it. It was one of her favorite side dishes. Both had different prep methods. There are many variations for this recipe. It is one of my favorite keto-friendly, low carb dishes.
A delicious keto-friendly, low carb, high fat salad made with raw cauliflower and broccoli.
- 1 cup diced cauliflower
- 1 cup diced broccoli
- 6 pieces uncured bacon
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1/2 cup sour cream
-
Cook 6 pieces of bacon and crumble in small pieces. Dice thoroughly washed cauliflower and broccoli. Combine cauliflower, broccoli, shredded cheese, mayo and sour cream. Mix together. Stir in crumbled bacon. Mix. Done! It tastes best when chilled for a few hours.
Nothing beats a keto berry smoothie when you are in the mood for something fruity, cold and smooth. This quick and easy keto blackberry almond coconut smoothie is one of my favorite snacks or mini-meals when I need something quick. The smoothie recipe is super simple, sugar free and fits in perfectly with any keto diet. It makes a great quick keto breakfast or lunch.
The only ingredient you’ll need to be careful about are the blackberries. A 1/2 cup of blackberries has 7 grams of carbs so if you are on a very strict low carb diet, 1/4 cup is a good amount to use. it is just enough to give you plenty of flavor and a subtle pop of sweetness.
Ingredients:
1/4 cup blackberries (frozen or fresh)
1 cup unsweetened almond milk
1/3 cup of coconut cream or milk
one cup of ice cubes
1/4 cup heavy whipping cream
1 scoop of Vanilla Chai Garden of Life raw protein mix
Put everything in a blender (I use a Vitamix) and mix on low for about 2 minutes and then on high for about 30 seconds or until it reaches your desired consistency.
This makes two servings.
Per serving:
210 calories
13 grams of fat
12 grams of protein
4.5 grams of carbs
I will occasionally throw in a cup of baby spinach to make the smoothie green. This provides some extra vitamins A, C and E, potassium, zinc and fiber.
Anti-inflammatory, gluten free, and always keto-friendly. Enjoy!
This recipe for Lazy Keto Crockpot Chicken is way too easy and way too delicious! You’ll want to keep the recipe to yourself!
Cake! Who doesn’t love cake? Weddings. Birthdays. Anniversaries. Cakes have been in the center of life celebrations for centuries. The word “cake” is of Viking origin and derived from the word ‘kaka”. Ancient Greeks would bake cakes using flour, eggs, milk and honey. Romans baked cakes on a pastry base and called “placentas”. Interesting.
Cakes have been around a while but so have the white flour and sugar in most traditional recipes. And that doesn’t include the frosting.
What is a Keto eater to do?
Make it keto.
It’s not that difficult to make a keto-friendly cake. Here are five keto cake recipes that will have will allow you to have your “kaka” or “placenta” and eat it too!
The Ultimate Keto Carrot Cake
I found this delicious keto carrot cake at Fittoserve Group. The website owner, Hilda Solares, was led to keto during a healing journey from Guillan Barre Syndrome, fibromyalgia and chronic sciatica. Hilda had been tossing around the idea of transforming an old carrot cake recipe into a low carb option and created this gem. Her recipe may be a little bit higher in carbs but can be safely added to a keto diet when monitoring daily carb intake and macros. The cream cheese frosting uses full fat cream cheese, unsalted butter, heavy whipping cream, and a sugar substitute. Hilda recommends Swerve. Thank you, Hilda! See the recipe.
Keto Vanilla Pound Cake
Pound Cake is really easy to make and very simple to make keto-friendly. There are a lot of keto pound cake recipes out there. You’ll love this one I found at Hey Keto Mama. Sam is the website owner and started keto as part of a spiritual transformation and the desire to improve her physical health. Sam reminds us that an entire traditional pound cake has a whopping 450 grams of carbs? For some of us, that is enough carbs for three weeks! Sam’s keto-friendly pound cake has 239 calories and 5.23 net carbs per slice. Thank you, Sam! See the recipe.
Keto Red Velvet Cake
I found this gem at Certainly Keto, a blog run by April and Michael who are on a mission to spread the word about the wonders of keto eating. Just after one year eating keto, April lost 75 pounds and Michael lost 45 pounds. A couple for over 25 years, they claim to be healthier than ever. The love of baking and learning new ways of cooking led them to create this scrumptious keto-friendly red velvet cake recipe. Thanks, April and Michael! I can’t wait to try it. See the recipe.
Keto Coffee Cake
Grab your bulletproof coffee and bring breakfast back with a slice of this Keto Coffee Cake! Sarah at Real Balanced created this keto-licious recipe made of wholesome ingredients. Sarah follows a ketogenic diet that is paleo/primal-compliant that cured her sleep and GI problems. Sweetened with monk fruit, the coffee cake is made with coconut flour and is entirely nut free so it’s great if you have a nut allergy. Thank you, Sarah! See the recipe.

Yes! We are not kidding. Skip the prep and get your keto-friendly cake shipped right to your home. Thank you, Unrefined Bakery, for creating a nice selection of keto-friendly desserts. Their Chocolate Cake with Keto Chocolate Unbuttercream filling/icing makes the ultimate keto treat. We will say it again. Get this shipped directly to your home!

Enjoy!
I live in Maryland where blue crabs and crab cakes are a staple. I learned to eat blue crabs at a very early age. Knowing how to strip the shell of a blue crab and eat the succulent meat inside in under 5 minutes was a childhood ritual. On hot summer days, my father used to drive us down to the DC Wharf to grab a bushel of live blue crabs. We would bring the crabs home and steam them in beer. My father would occasionally let a few crabs crawl on the floor to scare the cat. Great memories!
In Maryland, blue crabs are typically in season from May until October. When they are out of season, I grab some fresh lump crab meat at my local grocery store and fry up some crab cakes. I use a very simple “lazy keto” recipe to create a high fat, low carb keto meal that can be enjoyed in less than 20 minutes.
The internal temperature of a cooked crab cake should be 155 degrees F on an instant-read thermometer.
Ingredients
One large organic egg
1/2 teaspoon grated lemon peel
1/4 teaspoon of kosher salt
1/2 of Old Bay seasoning
1 pound of fresh lump crab meat
1 cup of crushed Whisps cheese crisps or pork rinds (optional)
Mix everything in a bowl, shape the mixture in mini crab cakes and fry them on each side for 6-8 minutes.
The internal temperature of a cooked crab cake should be 155 degrees F on an instant-read thermometer.
Crab meat is naturally low in fat and carbs. To add a bit of fat back in, fry the mini crab cakes in uncured bacon grease or garlic flavored olive oil. Very tasty!
It doesn’t get any simpler or yummier than this. Fry up a grass-fed ground beef patty, melt your favorite cheese on top and serve in between two portobello mushroom tops. You’ll never miss the bun!
I love easy, lazy keto and my spinach and bacon salad is my go to. Just toss fresh baby spinach with crumbled up pieces of bacon. Top with your favorite high fat, low carb dressing ( I love Dress it Up Dressing) and you’re done! If you are extra hungry or need more fat, toss in a double serving of bacon or grass-feed beef strips. Simple.
