“These nutty white chocolate bars are lovely treats that will hold for a long time in the fridge as a grab-and-go, very sweet, high-fat bomb. You will notice I scatter sea salt flakes over the mixture before it sets. This adds great little bursts of salty flakes which complement a sweet treat beautifully. A company called Funky Fat Foods asked me to try out some of their products. While none of the posts on this blog are sponsored, I agreed I would play around a little and share a creation. I selected their ‘white chocolate’. On it’s own, a coconutty flavour comes through, so I melted it down and added more vanilla and a variety of nuts, resulting in a white-choc-rocky-road-type treat!” – Monya
“Next to biltong and droewors, NUTS are probably the most popular go-to snack in our house. They just tick all the boxes as a perfect keto snack: high in fat, fibre and protein. We try and steer clear of the store-bought roasted nuts for several reasons: many mixed nuts packets (while convenient) usually include peanuts and almost always feature vegetable oil – two things which should be avoided on keto. However… in the spirit of being honest and transparent, I would be lying if I said we didn’t always have a packet kicking about. Anyway, honesty aside… during COVID-19 lock down, I found a packet of halved macadamia nuts in the pantry and got to work straight away when Funnyman said he was craving something spicy as a snack. These did not last long in our house – they were delicious!” – Monya
“Nuts are the ULTIMATE fat snack and macadamias are particularly delicious when roasted. If you can spend 15 minutes once or twice a week to prepare a batch of roasted macadamia nuts, you will have plenty of servings. After roasting these super-tasty, satisfying fat bombs, I scatter over a pinch of salt and powdered erythritol as soon as they came out the oven. Be sure to allow them to cool completely before storing in a sealed container. The macros are calculated on a portion size of 35g / 1.2oz – which is ample for a quick snack to crunch on between meals. They smell like popcorn and taste like heaven!” – Monya
