Freezer snacks for the win!
I love being able to have snacks in the freezer that are available when hunger strikes. Fat bombs are a great option for sustainable, low glycemic energy. Fat helps to slow the absorption of sugar into the bloodstream meaning more sustained energy and a feeling of satiety. If desired, make these with a stevia sweetened or 100% dark chocolate as a keto version. Otherwise add your favorite 80% dairy free dark chocolate and a little splash of maple syrup to make a decadent chocolatey snack!!!

Return back to the freezer for 10 minutes. Once completely frozen pop each cup out of the tin by applying pressure to once side with your finger or using a table knife to gently pop out.
