What is a fat bomb?

A fat bomb is usually a sweet or savory small bite that packs a good punch of healthy fats, maybe a bit of protein, and a small amount of carbs. They are used to supplement a ketogenic diet.

We use fat bombs to fuel workouts, as a sweet treat, or small meal if we’re doing an OMAD style day.

What’s in these dairy-free Keto Chocolate Fat Bomb Nut Clusters?

  • sugar-free chocolate chips
  • macadamia nuts
  • pecans
  • pistachios
  • pepitas

Can I swap out the nuts and/or seeds?

Yes, you can! Just use your favorite nuts or seeds in the mix. Do note that changing the nuts and seed varieties may impact the nutritional information.

How do I store these?

We store our clusters in the freezer in a freezer-safe container. You can also store these in the refrigerator. They’ll keep for up to a week in the refrigerator or a month in the freezer.

What are the macros for these Keto fat bombs?

  • Fat: 17.9g – 86%
  • Protein: 3.8g – 8%
  • Carbs: 3g (net) 6%

Tools needed:

  • cast-iron skillet (or microwave-safe bowl)
  • parchment paper (or silicone mat)
  • baking sheet
  • cookie scoop (or just a spoon!)

✨ CREAMY JALAPEÑO SAUCE ✨ This spicy sauce i ✨ CREAMY JALAPEÑO SAUCE ✨  This spicy sauce is perfect for tacos, salads, burrito bowls, grilled proteins, and so much more! Ready in just minutes with only 3 ingredients (minus pantry staples), it’s a condiment you’ll want to have on hand at all times!⁠⁠One of our favorite salsas has always been the taqueria-style jalapeño sauce that’s sometimes served with street-style tacos at your local Mexican restaurant. It’s richer than a salsa fresca or pico de gallo and is super creamy from the cooked jalapeños. We love the richness of it and it goes so well with so many things. The recipe can be found via the link in our bio 😉 ⁠⁠#vegan #keto #ketoaf #lowcarblife #pcos #healtheating #plantbased #recipe #cooking

These Cauliflower Walnut Taco Cups were originally These Cauliflower Walnut Taco Cups were originally featured in our cookbook and now that Cast Iron Keto is focused on plant-based + low-carb recipes, we thought it deserved a permanent place on the website.⁠⁠If you have our cookbook, have you tried this recipe out of the Meatless Monday chapter? If not, we hope you do, even if you’re more omnivore than plant-based. Why? Because they are simply delicious!⁠⁠The combination of the crumbled walnuts, tender cauliflower, and smoky chipotle peppers in adobo sauce create a filling that, while it resembles ground beef, is much more layered in flavors.⁠⁠The toppings are completely up to you, these are just our go-to’s. Some type of creamy sauce would be delicious too. Maybe a bit of dairy-free (or regular) sour cream mixed with a bit of extra chipotle in adobo? Yes, that sounds just perfect.

We are! 🍄 We especially love wild mushrooms but this easy meal of Balsamic Mushrooms with Herbed Veggie Mash is great with your run-of-the-mill creminis which are easy to find at any grocery store. If you have access to other mushroom varieties, we love Maitake in this recipe too.⁠⁠The veggie mash is basically our Keto Mashed Cauliflower, we adore this recipe and use it for so many things. It really is perfection. Even if you’re not usually a fan of cauliflower, you’ll love it. And, yes, we know that’s what all the food bloggers say but we promise it’s true!⁠⁠Obviously, this recipe is pretty low-calorie so if you’re wanting to bump it up a bit, try serving this as a side with some protein. Tempeh and tofu are the obvious choices for plant-based folks or for omnivores, chicken or steak would be our go-to’s. If you serve this as a main or a side, either way, we bet you’ll love it!⁠⁠Grab the recipe link in our bio!⁠⁠#ketorecipe #plantbasedketo #lowcarbvegan #veganrecipe
With the world in chaos, it's so hard to stay focu With the world in chaos, it's so hard to stay focused. Do you feel the same? With our neighborhood seeing multiple crimes from break-ins, a kidnapping, and carjackings in the past week, the heartbreaking situation in Ukraine, Texas's ambivalence towards human rights, and the ongoing pandemic, times are bleak. But there's also beauty and comfort. For us, beauty was found in a walk around our neighborhood admiring the blooming trees ready for spring (swipe for photos), and comfort found in nourishing meals that feed our bodies as well as our souls. If you missed our new recipe last week, we shared this vegetable soup from our cookbook. It's loaded with veggies and is super comforting to us, reminding us of the vegetable soup we ate as kids, maybe it will be comforting to you too. Our thoughts are with humanity as a whole, may we remember that we're all the same and we all deserve peace.
