19 AIP Fat Bombs

The autoimmune paleo diet, sometimes called the autoimmune protocol diet, has helped many people with autoimmune diseases control their uncomfortable symptoms. Consisting mostly of a grain-free, dairy-free diet, the AIP diet seeks to reduce inflammation caused in the body by reducing inflammation-inducing foods. 

Fat bombs are a mix of healthy fats and some proteins designed to sustain energy and satiate cravings. They are a common snack on the AIP diet, as with the low-carb nature of this way of eating, many people often need additional protein and fat to keep full. However, not all fat bombs fit within the AIP diet, so let’s look at what would make them AIP compliant. 

What Makes a Fat Bomb AIP Compliant?

To be AIP compliant, fat bombs cannot contain any of the foods recommended to avoid on the AIP diet. These foods include grains, legumes, nightshades, eggs, dairy, nuts, seeds, refined and processed sugars, processed oils, chocolate, coffee, alcohol, and food additives. AIP fat bombs avoid these ingredients.
