Libby you are a star - oh yes you are!
She's gone and done it again with these absolutely great tasting Peppermint Fat Bombs - and did you try the ginger ones? Weren't they lovely ... see here.
But here is what Libby says about eating Healthy Fats and the recipe for these great Peppermint Fat Bombs ...
"Still got a sweet tooth? Need something to curb that craving?
Try these peppermint fat bombs for a healthy dose of beneficial coconut oil. These will keep hunger away and keep you fuller for longer. Coconut oil has many health benefits such as being antibacterial, anti fungal, its medium chain triglycerides are an excellent energy source for the brain, vitamins E K and iron, immunity, weight loss and digestion. You can also add coconut oil to your smoothies or use it in baking and frying.
If you still have a sweet tooth, these peppermint fat bombs will satisfy that craving for that sweet taste but have no added sugar and are almost zero carb. If you still find you are hungry but don’t want to reach for some kind of high carb snack, have some of these in the fridge. They will keep for a week or 2. You can even freeze them for longer.
NOTE :: before you increase your healthy fat intake you MUST lower your carbs otherwise you are back on the standard American diet (SAD) which is high fat and high carbs AND the fat you eat must be a healthy fat such as coconut oil, butter, extra virgin olive oil, avocado etc."
