Why Almonds Are Such a Great Keto Ingredient
Almonds come from the milder climates of the Middle East and are one of the most popular tree nuts in the world. They make a great staple ingredient to have in your cupboard on a keto diet because of their great nutritional properties.
Almonds are packed full of natural fats and proteins while being low in carbs. They also offer many minerals and vitamins that can be difficult to find in other ingredients. So if you like adding crunch to things, consider adding almonds to your favorite snacks and desserts.
Play Around With Flavors
While almonds are a fantastic ingredient that is full of flavor there are many choices of nuts to use in this recipe. Try these great options:
- Cashews
- Macadamia Nuts
- Brazil Nuts
- Pecans

- Or, a piece of dark chocolate
The options don’t stop there. This recipe calls for vanilla in the coconut butter, but you may opt for some other flavors such as:
- Peppermint
- Unsweetened cocoa powder
- Cinnamon
- Orange or lemon extract
Assembling your fat bombs can be a fun experience. Using a bit of creativity, you can make a whole variety of tastes and shapes. Coming up with new ideas can be just as fun as making these quick snacks.
