A fat bomb smoothie can be a great way to stay on a low carb or keto diet. It can fill you up between meals, give you the fat you need in your daily diet, and it can satisfy a sweet tooth (which can be hard to do when you’re low carb!).

This low carb smoothie tastes like strawberry coconut cheesecake! It’s seriously rich and creamy and low in net carbs. You really have to try it for yourself to believe how delicious it is.

What is a Fat Bomb?

A fat bomb is a high fat, low carb food. It’s usually used as a snack or dessert on a low carb diet. Fat bombs can be made with different combinations of fats, but they typically contain coconut oil, butter, cream cheese, and/or nuts.

Why Eat Fat Bombs?

Fat bombs are a great way to get more fat into your diet. When you’re following a low carb or keto diet, you need to eat more fat than you would on a standard diet. This is because your body uses fat for energy instead of carbs. Fat bombs can help you reach your daily fat intake goals.

In addition to being high in fat, fat bombs are also low in carbs. This makes them a great choice for people who are trying to lose weight or manage their blood sugar levels.

Why We Love This Fat Bomb Keto Smoothie Recipe

We love all thing smoothies here, but sometimes I try to watch my carb intake. Let’s face it, smoothies with a lot of fruit naturally have a lot of carbs. If you’re not watching your carbohydrate intake, a fruit smoothie is a wonderful way to take in your daily 5 of fruits and vegetables, but what are you to do when you’re on a keto diet?

That’s where this smoothie comes in. It’s high in fat, low in sugar and net carbs and absolutely delicious. It’s my favorite fat bomb smoothie recipe out there!

Ingredients in Our Fat Bomb Smoothie Recipe

Strawberries

Strawberries are low in carbs and calories and high in fiber. They’re also a good source of antioxidants and vitamins C and K.

You can use fresh or frozen strawberries for this recipe. If you’re buying frozen, just be sure that they don’t have any added sugar.

Full-Fat Coconut Milk

Coconut milk is a great source of healthy fats. It’s also dairy-free, making it a great choice for those who are lactose intolerant or have trouble digesting dairy products.

You’ll need to use canned coconut milk to get the full richness with all the fat. Coconut milk in the carton isn’t as good for the keto diet, and you’ll want to drain off the thin liquid at the top.

You can use coconut cream, but you might have to add a bit of liquid to get it to a smoothie consistency. It would make a great fat bomb smoothie bowl, though!

Cream Cheese

Cream cheese is another source of healthy fats. It’s also a good source of protein and calcium.

You’ll need to use full-fat cream cheese for this recipe, which is easy to find at any grocery store.

Coconut Oil

Coconut oil is a great source of healthy fats, especially medium chain triglycerides.

It’s also easy to find at any grocery store, just be sure you are getting a good quality, unrefined coconut oil such as extra virgin. You can also use MCT oil if you prefer.

Low Carb Granulated Sweetener

You’ll need a low carb sweetener for this recipe to keep the net carbs down. We like to use erythritol or stevia, but any low carb granulated sweetener will work.

I also really enjoy monk fruit sweetener. Your choice will depend upon your dietary restrictions as some diets are lower in carbs than others.

Lemon Zest

Lemon zest adds a little bit of tartness and depth of flavor to the smoothie. You could also use lime zest if you prefer.

Unsweetened Coconut

Unsweetened coconut is a great source of healthy fats and fiber. It’s also a good source of manganese and copper.

You can find unsweetened coconut in the baking aisle of most grocery stores, or you can buy it online. If you don’t want the texture of the coconut in the smoothie, just sprinkle a little on top after you blend. I like to buy the finely shredded coconut.

How to Blend a Perfect Keto Fat Bomb Smoothie

Now that we’ve gone over all the ingredients, it’s time to talk about how to blend the perfect keto fat bomb smoothie.

First, start by adding the full-fat coconut milk and cream cheese to your blender. I like to use an personal blender for this as it’s quick and easy, but any blender will do (I have the Nutribullet Pro and I love it). If you are making a larger quantity you will need a larger blender, like when I make a batch for myself and my four boys.

Next, add in the frozen strawberries, coconut oil, low carb sweetener, and lemon zest. If you’re using fresh strawberries, add a little ice to the mix.

Blend on high until smooth and creamy. If you want a thinner consistency, add a little more coconut milk, heavy cream, unsweetened almond milk or even water until you reach your desired thickness.

Pour into glasses and enjoy immediately. If you’re not serving all of it right away, store in the fridge for up to 24 hours. You may need to add a little more coconut milk before serving as it will thicken up as it sits.

This recipe makes two small servings or one large serving.
