Pumpkin everything this time of year, amiright? These PUMPKIN BUTTER SLICE fat bombs are really good. If you have to pick ONE pumpkin treat this time of year, pick this one. Okay, or my Spiced Pumpkin Tahini Swirl Muffins. But these DAIRY FREE, KETO PUMPKIN FAT BOMBS have ALL THE GOODS.

Who Dis?

I know, I know my first fat bomb recipe! It’s about damn time. I’ve been doing the keto thing for 7 months now and low carb paleo since last winter. Sooo… why the delay? Well, I think the ol’ Whole30 mentalilty really stuck with me, and not going to lie, made be feel guilty about treats like this.

Freedom

Keto has really helped me reach my food freedom and release food guilt issues. I think it’s because I FEEL so great! Even when I have 1 (or 3) pieces of this dairy free, keto Pumpkin Butter Slice for breakfast.

Super Duper Foods 

You know me, I gotta have ALL THE VEGGIES in my keto. I like to sneak in those ESSENTIAL MICRO NUTRIENTS anywhere I can. So I’ve teamed up with Vital Proteins to show case their badass GREEN packing products. See Key Lime Pots de Creme + Hydrating Matcha Smoothie.

This fat bomb, yup, totally packing Vital Proteins Collagen Beauty Greens! This powder is made with marine collage, raw greens and probitotics. Great for hair, nails and digestive health. Blended into the dark chocolate layer this recipe sneaks this goondess in so well even my four year old can’t sniff it out!
