5 Killer No-Bake Fat-Bomb Recipes
‘Fat Bombs’ and weight loss may not sound like they belong together in the same sentence but they actually do. The 1980’s-1990’s diet industry marketing did a great job of placing fear in the hearts of everyone where fat is concerned. The old idea that “fat makes you fat”, has been a hard one to shake off for many people. You can still see “low-fat” products lining the grocery store even though we know now that fats are essential for hormone balance, brain health, energy, and metabolism. Now, the catch is that NOT all fats are created equal and higher fat diets work best as it relates to weight-loss goals when used strategically in a low carb diet.
Healthy Banana Pops
Why does food on a stick always taste better? haha. There is something playful, something that reminds us of our childhood, that makes eating the food of a stick emotionally pleasurable. Of course, I like to look for ways to introduce healthy snacking so that we can indulge in foods that serve us back nutritionally and emotionally.
Strawberry Basil Nice Cream
I really enjoyed frozen desserts, its very satisfying, and curbs the cravings for something sweet. Using frozen fruit, herbs, and a little natural sweetener creates the perfect frozen treat in your blender in minutes without the heavy fats, and hard to digest casein proteins that can often accompany a dairy dessert.
Persimmon & Mango Nice Cream
Persimmons are out seasonally right now, I keep seeing they’re beautiful brightly colored orange and yellow skins while I am shopping. They seem like such a cheerful fruit I wanted to create something that was fun to eat with them. Nice Cream it is!
