What Are Fat Bombs?
Fat bombs are small, high-fat, low-carb snacks often used in ketogenic eating. They’re designed to be portion-controlled, satisfying, and easy to prepare.
This version focuses on flavor and texture – creamy, citrus-forward, and balanced.
Important Carb Note
- Orange zest contains virtually no sugar or carbs.
- The recipe includes 2 tablespoons of orange juice:
- 2 tablespoons orange juice ≈ 3 net carbs
Divided by 18 servings = approx. 0.16 net carbs per fat bomb - If you prefer ultra-low carb, you may omit the juice and rely on zest alone.

Thanks for the great info, you are right orange zest os ok to use in some Keto recipes. These are so good!
On my list of recipes to try this week!
Instead of orange juice and orange zest, is it possible to substitute orange extract and if so, how much should I use.
Hi Kathy,
While it is possible and it may work, I have no idea how much you should use. I’ve only used drops of orange extract in baked goods before. I have no idea how it will work for the fat bombs, but I’d assume a few drops.
