MATCHA COCONUT FAT BOMBS

Ingredients

• INGREDIENTS
• For the "truffles"
• 1 cup firm coconut oil (refrigerate if necessary)
• 1 cup creamy coconut butter (or make your own)
• 1/2 cup full fat coconut milk, refrigerated overnight
• 1/2 tsp matcha green tea powder
• 1/4 tsp ground Ceylon cinnamon
• 1/4 tsp Himalayan salt
• 1 tsp pure vanilla extract (or make your own)
• For the coating
• 1 cup finely shredded unsweetened coconut
• 1 tbsp matcha green tea powder
• INSTRUCTIONS
• Add all the ingredients listed under "truffles" to a good sized mixing bowl. Note that it's of utmost importance that your coconut oil be firm so send it to the fridge for a little bit if you have to. Same goes for the coconut milk. While it's not mandatory that you use only the cream part (although you could very well do that if you wanted to, more fat for you), your milk does have to be firm when you use it so make sure that you cool the can overnight.
• Mix on high speed with a hand mixer, until light and fluffy, then send to the refrigerator to firm up for about an hour.
• While the “truffle” mixture is firming up, combine the shredded coconut and matcha powder together in a fairly large mixing bowl. Set aside.
• With the help of a small ice cream scoop form the cold “truffle” mixture into 32 little balls, roughly the size of a ping pong ball.
• Roll the balls quickly between the palms of your hands to shape them into perfect little spheres, then drop each ball into the coconut / matcha mixture and roll them until completely coated.
• Transfer your finished fat bombs to an airtight container and keep refrigerated for up to 2 weeks.
• These can be eaten straight out of the fridge but they are even better when you let them sit at room temperature for 10 to 15 minutes before to eat them.
• Notes
• For a sweeter fat bomb, add a few tablespoons of raw honey to the truffle mixture

• Making these tomorrow! Sans the matcha as I can’t get my hands on it here! Defo in my next iHerb order! I’ll make a variation and report back! Are you going to stay with the keto diet for much longer you reckon? Are you checking your ketone levels?

• I plan on giving it a minimum of 12 weeks total, Michelle. I am currently using ketostix but I keep reading that they are pretty useless (i.e. not really accurate and don’t even measure the right thing), so I’m planning on investing in a ketone meter soon.

• I really appreciate you sharing your experiments with ketosis; I’m interested in it I just haven’t consistently been able to stick to it – pesky carbs! Keto or not, I know these truffles will go down a treat!

• It’s the first time I’ve ever been able to stick with it, Cat, (after 3 or 4 attempts) and still, I’m not finding it easy. Carbs are sooooo easy to overdo, and real hard to cut back too, I find. Happy to hear you appreciate my sharing my experience. Hopefully I’ll have more positive stuff to report soon!

• I was excited to read your post and see you are giving the ketogenic diet a try. This is my first week. I’ve been on Atkins for over a year and just finished reading Keto Clarity. Now I’m giving it a go.
• Thankfully for me I haven’t felt hungry or my energy zapped, but then again on Atkins I was controlling how many carbs I ate. Not saying it’s easy all the time though because I was on phase 4 of Atkins and at 70 carbs a day. Now with the Keto diet I’ve scaled back to 25.
• I look forward to reading more =)

• If you’ve been on Atkins for a while, sliding into Ketosis should be a piece of cake for you… a matter of a couple of days, perhaps. 70g is already pretty low!
• I can’t wait to read Keto Clarity myself… it should be in the mail as we speak. Hopefully, that too will help me stick with the program! Did you like the book?

• I spoke to soon, I was hungry yesterday I haven’t lost any pounds either. My main reason with trying a ketogenic diet is to keep my cholesterol numbers balanced but I’d love to lose at least 7lbs.
• I absolutely loved the book and am now reading the one on cholesterol. I plan on reading Keto Clarity again though because I read it pretty quickly. Both books are excellent.
• I have read that cholesterol is not the reason for high cholesterol but the inflammation but I hadn’t taken the time to do more research via the internet. I can only sit at the computer reading for so long, so I was happy when I found cholesterol Clarity.
• Yesterday I made another version of Fat Bombs, renamed “Brain Boosters” that you might want to try. They are super easy to make and my whole family loves them. http://training6hearts4him.blogspot.com/2014/01/Skinnychocolate.html
• Have a good day!

• Too true: cholesterol isn’t the reason for high cholesterol. Did you read “It Starts with Food”? It’s one of the best books I’ve read (in fact, it’s pretty much responsible for my conversion to paleo) and I strongly recommend it.
• Thanks for the Fat Bomb recipe. I might give it a try (minus the sweetener…)

• Yes, It Starts With Food is the one book I think every person should read. Thanks for mentioning it. I’ll have to pull it out and reread that one as well.
• My 13 year old daughter and I have completed a Whole 30. I was very proud of her. She continues to try to eat more Paleo but it’s hard when I’m still buying bread and cheerios for the rest of the family. I’ve been trying over the past two years to switch everyone over to a more Paleo lifestyle.
• Thankfully though I have cut out many foods for the family. I no longer purchase chips, oreos, food with dyes, juice drinks, etc. but I know I need to take the plunge with my family and get rid of the last of our wheat buying.
• Yesterday I was not hungry at all. Hopefully today will be the same. I think part of my problem is I still feel I have to eat 3 meals a day. I do like that I don’t get those 10:00 A.M. hunger pains anymore. It’s hard to teach the kiddos and be kind when you’re hungry
• I don’t know if the Keto diet is for me but I’m going to give it a whirl. Thanks for sharing your recipes!

• How about cacao powder, Phil? Or a little bit of ground cinnamon? Or chai spice? Or a mix of all that?
• Thanks for your kind words of encouragement. That’s very nice of you!

• When you say “carbs are energy” it really shows that you have no idea what being in a state of ketosis actually is, so I wonder why you’re bothering to comment?

• Have you tried counting total carbs rather than net carbs? I think after reading Keto Clarity, it’s my understanding that it’s important to track total carbs. If you’re getting too many carbs because you’ve been tracking net carbs, it could be fueling your hunger.

• Is there anything else you could use to coat the balls. Matcha is loaded with Caffeine and that is something I cannot have.

• Cacao powder? Finely ground nuts? Or just use plain coconut! That should do the trick!
