Pumpkin Pie Fat Bombs

September 18, 2017 By Sonnet Leave a Comment

OMG, you guys. Pumpkin pie fat bombs!!!! 🙌

Wait, is it too early in the season to be eating pumpkin? Actually, I don’t care if it is because let me say that again: Pumpkin pie fat bombs!!!! 😀

OMG. These are a game changer. Let me give you a piece of advice: make these immediately, share them with your friends, and make these your go-to snack of the season.

Not only are these pumpkin pie fat bombs DELICIOUS, but they’re really good for you!

These fat bombs involve three main ingredients:

Coconut oil: I used coconut oil as the base for these fat bombs since coconut oil is a natural energy source since it contains MCTs (medium chain triglycerides), which are the “good fats” that the body uses to create energy.
Pumpkin: loaded with potassium, antioxidants, vitamins, fiber, and rich in beta-carotene.
Hemp seeds: full of omega-3 fatty acids, vitamin E, minerals, and plant-based protein.

Then we add pumpkin pie spice and sweeten these with liquid vanilla stevia drops. Depending on your preferences, you could leave out the stevia or use a different sweetener as desired. Now let’s make pumpkin pie fat bombs!

Now let’s make pumpkin pie fat bombs!
