Summer is here which has me craving fresh and light foods. Some of my favourite flavours this time of year are coconut, lime and mint. So naturally I put them together to make a refreshing and satisfying fat bomb!
I love this recipe because it is dairy free, gluten free, and vegan friendly. Not to mention, delicious!
Coconut Oil has become a staple in my ketogenic diet, especially when it comes to making fat bombs.
Coconut oil has so many benefits. It contains natural saturated fats that increase HDL (good cholesterol) and consists of medium chains triglycerides (MCTs). These types of fats move straight to the liver and are used for energy or turned into ketones. These MCTs can actually help you burn fat! And to top it all off, about 50% of the fatty acids in coconut oil is made up of lauric acid. When digested, it can help kill harmful pathogens, bacteria and fungi.
Whip up a batch of these refreshing fat bombs and get in on all these benefits!
