Another Book Review from a Favorite Author!
It’s easy to see how fat bombs have become such a favorite in the low carb community. They range from sweet to savory and can be made in huge batches to be used whenever needed. From sweet coconut cream cups to savory cheese & chive bites, there’s a fat bomb for any taste. Of course, fat bombs are a keto dieter’s dream as well as they are a perfect source of energy. Fat is energy when you are in ketosis and sometimes you need an extra boost of fat to help you power through the day. A fat bomb is a quick way to get that energy you need in a tasty way.
Recently, a fellow blogger, Martina of KetoDietApp.com reached out to us to say she’s released another book. The last time we reviewed one of her books we were totally blown away. The amount of detail, information and beauty in each recipe was enough to get us recommending it to everyone! This time around is no different. Martina’s new book, Sweet & Savory Fat Bombs, is full of delicious and creative recipes for fat bombs! Each one looks more delicious than the last and comes in many different shapes, sizes and flavors. We seriously couldn’t wait to try every single recipe in the book.

Fat Burning Vanilla Smoothie
The one that really caught our attention was this Fat Burning Vanilla Smoothie. Just the name sounds like something that is too good to be true. A drink that burns fat? Seems like something that we need to make immediately!
We are totally addicted to our Nutribullet and it’s one of the few contraptions we actually keep on our counter for daily use. We also love the ease of making smoothies and shakes throughout the day. It’s a bit like having a dessert without the guilt! The fat burning vanilla smoothie recipe is made in a blender or Nutribullet so we literally already had the equipment to make this recipe ready to go. Its as if we are meant to make this smoothie every day…
We decided to test out Martina’s recipe to get a huge boost of fat right at the beginning of our day. Most days we either have a large breakfast or a Butter Coffee but we thought to publish this recipe would be a great help to those starting keto and/or have hectic schedules. This Fat Burning Vanilla Smoothie is an amazing busy morning solution. Just plop everything in the blender and go! You’ll get the energy you need to start your day off right, an amazingly delicious drink and it all only takes a few minutes to put together- a total keto win!
Give this smoothie a try and also try out some of the other fat bombs in this book if you get the chance. You will love them all and definitely appreciate a whole new arsenal of fat bombs to help boost your keto diet. Enjoy!

Do you have a keto ice coffee recipe if i would love to use i love ice coffee but the store bought has so much sugar and high in carbs
Sure, just search “coffee” in our search bar to see all our coffee recipes. I think you’ll really like our Cold Brew recipe.
sounds delicious, but 650 calories — that is indeed a lot of calories for some of us! if i don’t exercise in a day, then i need only 1350 cals to maintain my weight, meaning this is almost 1/2 my calorie intake for the day. (and i’m not tiny — 5’5″, 125 lbs). i typically eat two meals a day so that might be fine, except this doesn’t have enough nutrients to sub out for a meal of mine. ahh well!
Feel free to make a half serving and enjoy 🙂
I tried this today and was delicious! I was a little skeptical because of the raw eggs but it tasted wonderful and was slightly reminiscent of eggnog, which I love! I did add a splash of heavy whipping cream and used coconut mana then added a light sprinkle of nutmeg, next time I’ll sprinkle it with cinnamon.
It totally reminded us of eggnog! We couldn’t place it but you nailed it on the head 😀
Ingredient list says “Coconut oil”, directions say “coconut milk.” Which is it please.
It’s both. It’s just that coconut milk may be used in place of the mascarpone cheese if you like.
How can you loose weight on this? so many calories in just one drink, which is half of a daily calories intake for the day.
Hi Mela, 1,200 calories is very little for most people. We recommend, for an average person, to start with 1,600 calories, but of course, that will vary depending on many things. If you eat 3 meals in a day, which many do, then this drink is an appropriate amount of calories for a big, filling breakfast.
I’m new to this so might be a dumb question but do I have to worry about salmonella?
Not if you get pasteurized eggs! You can pasteurize your own eggs by dipping them in boiling water for a few seconds – it’ll kill any bacteria on the shells.
HI all,
I tried this today, and it was pretty good! However, I did modify it based on the ingredients in my kitchen.
I did: 1/2 cup full fat cream cheese
Some liquid stevia, and Lo Han-Xylitol mix to taste
Add a single medium strawberry
Based on these changes, the macros came out to: 9 carbs,14.4pro,59fat
I was a little bummed out that the carbs were higher, but apparently, mascarpone will yield different carb results.
Also, adding a single medium strawberry, or a few other berries, will change the carbs a little, for those interested in a ‘berry cream cheese’ flavor.
This would be good to cut in half as well, for a nice desert on a given day.
I seriously look forward to trying it with mascarpone, *and*, I think I will add a little coco powder and coffee granules next time, to make it taste like tiramisu. :3
Thanks for the recipe, it is filling and fatty, which is what I need.
