Been snacking on carby, sugary stuff? Stop, please.
We are STILL in a pandemic and this stuff will quickly wreck you. Both your immune system and mental health will take a hit. Your body urgently needs healthy fats.
If you’re craving sweet, have something with healthy fat in it. Like a high quality choc bar (CLICK HERE for “TAZA wicked dark” my go to fav bar) + Here for why less cow dairy & best choc facts. A quick fix is 1 tbsp of almond butter with maybe some coconut flakes (unsweetened) Scroll down for my VIDEO with my absolute best sweet snack that quells stress cravings and helps you sleep better.

There’s a simple fix! “Fat Bombs” If the name throws you off try out “Awesome Balls” These are small balls made of
- Healthy Fats– coconut oil, coconut flakes, avocado, ghee or grassfed butter CLICK HERE for why coconut oil IS good for you (video + backed with hard science)
- Healthy Proteins– Cacao powder or nibs, Nut or seed butter(almond, cashew, macademia, sunflower), Spirulina, meats
- Anti-Inflammatory spices/herbs– Turmeric, cinnamon, pink himalayan sea salt, nutmeg, black pepper, cardamom (you can go as far as mushroom powders, ashwaganda…)
- Raw Honey +/or Dates– The only nutritive sweeteners that will not increase sugar cravings
Let’s keep this simple. Directly below is your most basic recipe. 10 servings (2×2 inch single balls )
- Cacao- 2 tbsp
- Coconut oil – 4 tbsp
- Raw Honey- 2 tbsp
- Raw Nut/seed butter – (I use almond) 1 tbsp
- Pink Himalayan sea salt – 2 tsp
- unsweetened coconut flakes , small 1/4 cup
Simply combine all the ingredients in a bowl. With very clean hands – form into small balls. ** it does help to let the mix sit in the fridge for about 30 mins, less messy to form balls with more solid coconut oil. Enjoy 1 immediately! Put the rest in your fridge for up to 3 weeks (freeze for up to 5 months)
