If you are a regular Real Balanced reader, you know how highly I value fat bombs! They are basically essential, especially when following a ketogenic lifestyle. There are a TON of reasons why fat bombs are AWSOME, but let me give you an overview of the basics.
- Low-Carb: All of the fat bombs that I create are low in carbs and totally keto-friendly! They are the perfect way to kick my sweet tooth while remaining safely in ketosis.
- On-The-Go: Fat bombs are the BEST on-the-go snack! I love to pop one or two in my insulated lunch bag when I know I am going to be away from home for a few hours!

Get ready for a super tasty flavor-packed fat bomb recipe! This recipe is full of the tastiest ingredients, including cream cheese, monk fruit sweetener, cocoa powder, butter, vanilla extract, and more. All of these ingredients come together to create THE most delicious truffle fat bombs!
However, there is one ingredient in this recipe that takes these fat bombs to the next level: Proleve Pure CBD Isolate Powder!
Why I use Proleve CBD in my chocolate truffles
If you are unfamiliar, CBD stands for cannabidiol, a substance that many have found to be helpful in reducing levels of anxiety and pain, improving sleep, increasing focus, decreasing bodily inflammation, and a variety of other conditions and health problems. CBD has rapidly increased in popularity over the past few years, much in part due to its effectiveness!
In these chocolate truffle treats, I use Proleve’s CBD isolate powder. All of their CBD products are gluten-free, non GMO, vegan, and lab-tested by a third-party for purity and safety.
I love adding CBD powder to my fat bomb recipes because it mixes flawlessly with the other ingredients! The powder doesn’t have a taste, so it will not alter the result of your recipe whatsoever.
Do note that with any supplement, you should always talk with your healthcare provider before adding it to your diet.
CBD Sourcing
It is important to know where your ingredients are coming from, especially in terms of additives such as CBD. Proleve CBD is grown and produced in the USA using organic farming practices. This is so important because hemp absorbs everything in the soil. By farming and producing their CBD organically, Proleve ensures that there are no toxins in their hemp!
I love adding beneficial products to my recipes, especially when I have ease of mind regarding how they were produced.

Fat Bomb FAQ
What are the benefits of fat bombs?
Fat bombs are FULL of benefits! To start, they are an awesome energy-boosting snack! Take them to work or have them on-hand whenever you start to feel a bit sluggish. They are a great source of healthy fats, and they are PERFECT for on-the-go snacking!
How long does one batch of fat bombs last?
This really depends on you, your family, and your lifestyle. This particular recipe yields 24 fat bombs. Generally, I can make one batch and am “all set” for an entire week! If I have more mouths to feed (which I know some of you will!), I will make a few batches at a time. This generally requires less than 1-2 hours of prep and cooking time.
Can I eat as many fat bombs as I want?
I’ve created these treats to help you indulge your cravings. But I’ve often found if you’re truly following a keto diet, you may tend to eat less. I generally recommend no more than 2 fat bombs per sitting.
Do I need any specific materials to make these recipes?
Yes. An electric mixer is required to properly incorporate all ingredients. Additionally, although not required, some people prefer to use a silicone mold to form their fat bombs (rather than rolling each fat bomb individually by hand).

You are going to love these keto Chocolate Truffle Fat Bombs! Containing only 1.4 grams of net carbs per serving, these fat bombs are the ultimate low-carb dessert or snack option!
Ingredients
- 6 oz cream cheese, softened
- ¾ cup (6 oz) melted unsalted butter
- ¼ cup + 2 tbsp (96g) SunButter
- ½ cup + 2 tbsp (120g) classic monk fruit sweetener
- ½ cup + 2 tbsp (50g) unsweetened cocoa powder, divided
- ½ cup (56g) coconut flour
- ¼ tsp pure vanilla extract
- ⅛ tsp salt
- 1g Proleve Pure CBD Isolate Powder
Instructions
- Fat Bombs: In a mixing bowl, using an electric mixer, mix cream cheese until whipped. Add melted butter and SunButter and mix again, starting at lowest speed before increasing mixer to highest mixer speed until thoroughly incorporated. Mix in monk fruit sweetener, ½ cup (40g) cocoa powder, coconut flour, vanilla extract, and salt. Add CBD isolate powder and, using a fork, mix into the mixture. Cover mixing bowl with a lid, aluminum foil, or plastic wrap and transfer bowl to the refrigerator to chill for 1 hour.
- Remove mixing bowl from refrigerator and form mixture into balls or scoop and flatten into silicone mold cavities. Transfer fat bombs to the refrigerator to chill for 1 additional hour.
- Final Steps: After fat bombs have chilled, to a shallow dish, add remaining 2 tbsp (10g) cocoa powder. Individually roll fat bombs in cocoa powder.
Recipe Notes:
Weight: Each fat bomb weighs between 26g-28g.
CBD: Each fat bomb contains approximately 41mg of CBD.
Storage: Store fat bombs in an airtight container in the refrigerator and eat within 5-7 days. Alternatively, store fat bombs in the freezer and, when you’re ready to eat one, pop it out of the freezer and allow it to thaw for 10-15 minutes before enjoying.
Dairy Substitution: This recipe can be made dairy-free and vegan by substituting refrigerated canned coconut milk for cream cheese and coconut oil for butter.
SunButter Substitution: This recipe can be made seed-free by substituting peanut butter or almond butter for SunButter at a 1:1 ratio. Be sure to always check your labels to ensure that no additional sugar is added to your nut or seed butters.
Monk Fruit Sweetener Substitution: In place of monk fruit sweetener, erythritol or Swerve can be used at a 1:1 ratio. To substitute stevia in, I would suggest using pure powdered stevia and, since a little bit goes a very long way, start with only ¼ tsp and then taste test the mixture. If you want the resulting fat bombs to be sweeter, add in additional stevia in ⅛ tsp increments.

Haven’t made this yet, but I want to! I’m lactose-intolerant however…what would be a good alternative to the cream cheese?
Hi, Laura! There are instructions in the recipe card on how to make the fat bombs dairy-free. 🙂
Is the CBD added because of the health benefits only, since it can be omitted altogether?
Omitting the CBD powder will not hinder you from making these fat bombs successfully. I talk about why I used Proleve Pure CBD Isolate Powder in the blog post.
These are wonderful! The only problem I have is the crunchiness from the sugar. Can I use a confectioners type of sweetener like Swerve makes?
Yep! Or, you can simply pulse granulated sweetener in a high-speed blender or food processor to powder it.
What can be used in place of the Proleve Pure CBD Isolate Powder? Not available here and too much to order online
You can sub in MCT Oil Powder or altogether omit.
these look so yummy!
