We can literally sub out the word “fat” and replace it with “energy” so this recipe title would the Macadamia Nut Energy fat bombs keto.
Two big things to highlight from a nutritional standpoint:
Macadamia Nuts
When you think of macadamia nuts, Hawaii might come to mind, but this nut is actually native to Australia. These are some of the most sought-after nuts in the world, so they can be expensive but they carry huge health benefits.
Macadamia nuts are among the fattiest of all nuts and contain antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals. Over 80% of the fat in macadamia nuts is monounsaturated, which is the type of fat that even major public health associations admit is beneficial to our cardiovascular system and glucose regulation (which is essential to ketosis). Comparing to even avocados and olive oil, macadamia reigns supreme in the MUFA category.
- Macadamia nuts (1 ounce): 16.5 grams.
- Avocado (1 avocado): 13.3 grams.
- Olive oil (1 tablespoon): 9.8 grams.
Macadamias are also incredibly low in omega-6 fatty acids, which are generally inflammatory. Comparing to an ounce of other types of nuts, macadamias omega-6 levels are microscopic.
- Walnuts: 10.7 grams
- Pecans: 3.7 grams
- Almonds: 3.4 grams
- Cashews: 2.2 grams
- Macadamia nuts: 0.36 gram

Medium Chain Triglycerides (MCT’s)
The MCT’s coming from the coconut oil are going to be huge for us. MCT’s are a type of fat that is metabolized quicker than most, and broken down into useable energy. It also can easily cross the blood-brain barrier, which is why they are so beneficial to our mental clarity and performance.
