KETO DIET SNACKS

Is it just me or does it feel like everyone you know is trying the keto diet? There is definitely a movement and congratulations to all of you having impressive results with this diet! I would say one of the most important things to remember if you are new to the Keto diet is that healthy snacking will become your best friend! Set yourself up for success and have some nutrient-dense snacks on hand so that you can cure your hunger and kill any cravings coming up (especially in the beginning). These cookie dough Keto fat bombs, make with Vital Proteins Vanilla Collagen Creamer, are here to save the day when you need something quick!

WHAT IS THE KETO DIET?

The ketogenic diet has become one of the most popular diets. Some people are following this diet for health reasons, more commonly though, I would say people are jumping on this low-carb diet to lose weight. To give you a quick summary of what the Keto diet is about, your diet would be made up of a lot of fat. A general rule of thumb would be 5-10 percent carbs, 20 percent protein and 60 - 80 percent fat.

When you follow the Keto diet correctly, your body enters a state of ketosis. This is why people are dropping pounds because your body does not have as many carbs to burn, so it starts burning the fat! In a short amount of time, you can see some impressive results. However, just like all diets, I believe they are not always sustainable. Carbs = life in my opinion and after trying Keto for a number of months I know this diet isn’t for me. That doesn't mean I can’t enjoy these Cookie Dough Keto Fat bombs though!

So, what makes these Cookie Dough Keto Fat Bombs a perfect keto-friendly option? HEALTHY FATS! Almonds AND Almond butter will be found in this recipe and because they are relatively low in carbohydrates you can snack on them without sabotaging your Keto diet efforts.

As you all know I am a huge fan of Vital Proteins so if I can sneak in the addition of the Vanilla Collagen Creamer to this recipe I would consider this a win all round! The best part about this collagen creamer? No added sugars or sweeteners, and boats 10g of pure collagen protein per serving! What is that?
