Keto Electrolyte Fat Bomb

If you are just starting your Keto journey, then you have most probably heard of the Keto flu or perhaps even experienced it. One simple way to curb the Keto flu is to consume enough fats and electrolytes. That is where Keto flu recipes come in. Fat bombs are especially helpful for individuals who struggle to consume enough fat. These Keto flu electrolyte fat bombs make a great source of fuel and electrolytes, making them ideal for anyone experiencing Keto flu. Not to mention, they make for a great snack and even work well in reversing that afternoon slump.

What are Keto electrolyte fat bombs?

Keto electrolyte fat bombs combine Keto-friendly ingredients that are naturally high in electrolytes. Electrolytes are minerals that conduct electricity when dissolved in water. They are essential for brain, nerve, and muscle function. Therefore, they play a vital role in overall body function. The ingredients used in this Keto flu recipe contain electrolytes; parmesan, cream cheese, walnuts, sunflower seeds, hemp seeds, and Himalayan salt.

How to store?

Storing these Keto electrolyte fat bombs is quite simple. Whether freezing or refrigerating, store the fat bombs in an airtight jar or container. These Keto fat bombs can last in the fridge for about one to two weeks and in the freezer for about six months. Before eating, be sure to let the fat bombs thaw for at least 30 minutes to 1 hour.

Why use gelatin?

Generally, gelatin is used to give structure, improve texture, stabilize emulsions, and thicken mixtures. However, adding too much gelatin can result in a gummy texture. Since these Keto flu electrolyte fat bombs are made with cream cheese, we used gelatin to give the cheese structure while also keeping it creamy. This way, the mixture is more malleable and can be molded into a small ball-like shape. Alternatively, if you don't have gelatin, you may notice that the mixture begins to melt when shaped by hand. To prevent this, transfer the mixture to the refrigerator to harden up for a few minutes or use silicone molds instead of shaping by hand.

    I made these as I wanted a salty and non-chocolate snack option. But this is an odd one. Essentially nutty cream cheese balls. Not bad, just unusual.

      Love these! Just started keto and was in a fat deficit for the first couple of days. These are delicious and did the trick!
