What i love about you Thomas is you literally break down the science of what this stuff has in it and what it does to the body,you are incredibly smart to remember all that lol
Just made a batch. Came out great and I’m actually still buzzing from the two bombs I popped 15 minutes ago. I’ll definitely have these before a workout! A few things I’m going to tweak and keep in mind for mine next time: first mine came out much darker than the ones in the video. I only added one tablespoon of the FS matcha and followed exact amounts for everything else. Might use a little less matcha powder next time. Also too much stevia for my taste. I’ll cut that in half next time too. You also don’t mention the caffeine in this and while many people might know there’s caffeine in green tea many might not know that matcha has almost half as much as coffee and more than most green teas so you’re getting quite a hit of caffeine especially if you pop two of these. I also had a little trouble getting the matcha powder to completely breakup in the melted cocoa butter and coconut oil. I had to tilt the pan a bit back and forth and find the clumps and break them up with my wooden spoon. I think I’ll use a whisk next time and dust the powder in more slowly like I do when making farina or cream of wheat to avoid clumps. Lastly, when pouring into the ice trays by the time I got to the last few cubes a lot of the matcha had sunk and concentrated at the bottom of the pot so that last few had ultra matcha. Guess next time I’ll pour quicker or stir again after pouring every 3-4 cubes.
Oh oh my goodness everyone try these I just made them !! He is right about locking yourself up!!!💃❤ SO SO SO GOOD... MY husband would never eat Dark chocolate I have tried and tried to get him to taste it and he just wouldn't and refused and when you make these they taste almost identical but without the bite!! Thank You so much Thomas.. YUMMMMMN
I literally just took the Cacao Butter out of my cupboard and sat down to search for a recipe when your video notification popped up. Gotta go buy some of the tea now 😋
I made some of these last night and tried them this morning when I broke my fast. Wow wow wow wow wow wow wow. Love them. This will be my pre-workout fat bomb.
OMG. I finally made these last night and wow! So good. I've been keto since October and was afraid to eat anything with artificial sweeteners, but I added a few drops of liquid stevia and these were amazing. I should not have eaten them at night as I had incredible energy afterwards - but they are so easy and so good and a great way to get your healthy fats and other 25 syllable good things for you that only Thomas can pronounce. Thanks T! Great recipe and awesome video!
The timing is always a kick! I wanted to buy matcha powder yesterday, but it was too pricey. Thanks for sharing! The good thing is that these are easy ingredients to look for, and once they're in your pantry you can go nuts with different recipes.
Hey Thomas can you make a video that explains a good way for kids and teens to lose weight I’m 13 and I used to be 230 pounds but I’m now 190 in 2 months. I started intermittent fasting thanks to your ad that showed your stretch marks and that really inspired me so much but could you make a video that explains diets and exercises that kids and teens should do to lose weight thanks so much
Hi Thomas! Thank you tons for this awesome recipe!!! I just made them right now, super good but 1tbsp of matcha is way too bitter on my end for some reason 😩 it’s possibly the brand I’m using.
OMG I was at Sprouts one day and bought cocoa butter. Thought it looked like a treat so popped one in my mouth and started chewing. Boy, was I in for a surprise. it is definitely not a treat and i wanted to spit it out. Sadly there was no where to empty my mouth so I had to suck it up, chew, and swallow. ugh I will use the bag to make these though :) Thanks!
HEG, I have never LOL'd before while reading a comment, but you just gave me a first.Thank you very much. I just discovered the Sprouts Farmer's Market in Tucson and love it! I wish I had one in my town. Thanks for the laugh!
Beauty, Brawn and Brains, your wife hit the trifecta! Seriously though, love your channel even if I don't understand much of the science stuff, thanks. :)
How about YERBA MATE? It is used by hundreds of millions people in South America and is not a regular tea. It would be nice to hear your take on the beverage. I will keep asking ;)
For the ginger, pickled ginger will offer way more benefits then dried. But everything else, I'm sold. Just need cocoa butter. My current fat bombs of choice has been peanut butter and chocolate.
Fat oxidation is a process by which the stored, giant lipid molecules are broken back down into their smaller parts, triglycerides and fatty acids. ... The larger molecules can't be used as energy by the body, so, they just stack up.
How do you store them? In the fridge, to keep cold? I’m assuming people eat them up, but how long will hey keep. You made about 8 maybe, if you ate one a day, would it still be good a week later? Thanks for the info. ☺️
It's important to know that ALL matcha products are good from a health viewpoint. The ratings 'better' or 'best' are about artistic values --taste, fragrance, appearance.
It looks like cacao butter is simple less processed but is similar enough to be used in the same way. So basically it's more nutrient dense and that seems like it's a better choice. irenamacri.com/ultimate-guide-to-raw-cacao-powder-butter-nibs/
Hey Thomas! I'm an exercise physiologist and I just stumbled across your channel and I'm totally blown away, man after watching only three of your videos. Your grasp of the science associated with our field is impressive to say the least. I'm dying to try your matcha fat bombs but I have a question. Where did you obtain your silicone ice trays? I want to find the exact same ones. Thanks man!
maybe I missed it in the video, but how do you store these? in the fridge im guessing? Can you freeze them and defrost later if I make more at one time?
Hi thomas , what yogurt percentage would you recommend? 0 , 3 , 5 , 100? I know that you usually don't eat dairy but when would you recommend consuming the yogurt , thank you and have a nice day
Whole milk is about 4% fat by weight. 100% would be sour cream. Beware that even plain yogurt has a significant dose of carbs and protein, and there is not very good evidence how much of the potentially beneficial bacteria actually settles in your gut. I agree with Scott the Truck Driver - yogurt is dessert on a keto diet, not a requirement for health.
Juuust made this. Except I added 1 tsp real vanilla extract, ANS Performance Vanilla Ketomate, 2 tablespoons ghee, 1 scoop of collagen, and 2 packets of lionsmane coffee.
Thomas, I'm confused about the "oxidation" of fat being a good thing vs. wanting oxidation in the body to be low (as in anti-oxidants). Can you make a video that clarifies this please?
I did not know there was bpa-free plastic. Thank you. Could the slowing down of my gut motility be the reason why I had to quit match a year ago? I hated the effect that it had on my daily routine, if you know what I mean
Thanks for the informative video Thomas. Would these fat bombs be a good option to break a fast (IF)? My gut cannot handle breaking with MCT. Terrible things occur :(
Darren Bowman Why not break your fast with a keto coffee? This is now one of my favourite ways to break my fast and then have my meal a couple hours later (or same time :)
I love the science that comes with your recipes!! I don't know how anyone can eat for health and not want to know what they are eating and why.
Julie Banighen 100% agree, I would prefer to learn what I’m putting in my body then someone to tell me to eat it 🙂
He's the real deal. He walks the walk and talks the talk clearly.
What i love about you Thomas is you literally break down the science of what this stuff has in it and what it does to the body,you are incredibly smart to remember all that lol
I enjoyed the baby/puppies break. Got me prepared for the end product presentation.
I am OBSESSED with matcha and I am on my 3rd week of ketosis adaptation. I am SO happy I found this

How long do the cubes stay good? Can I pop them back in the fridge and use them through the week?
Richard Sintchak Great comment! Thanks for sharing it with everyone!
I like to put a macadamia nut in the freezer tray before pouring the mixture in.
Yum!
That’s actually genius
Thomas for nutrition. Athleanx for workouts. Perfect combo
thank you for your amazing research and astonishingly well presentation!
Jacob B thank you for watching!
Matcha ordered! These look great. Been doing Keto since March 10, down 19 lbs. as of today! :)

Glenda Last thanks for watching! Enjoy!!
Love your videos Thomas. You, Dr. Rhonda Patrick, Marcus Bondi and Athlean-X have been making my life better everyday!
The timing is always a kick! I wanted to buy matcha powder yesterday, but it was too pricey. Thanks for sharing! The good thing is that these are easy ingredients to look for, and once they're in your pantry you can go nuts with different recipes.
Costco carries it at a decent price.
Merry Christmas Thomas!
very interesting.
Love your recipe videos keep them coming
tm4tare glad you enjoy them! Thanks for watching!!
Just noticed you were in Anchorage Ak at Ginger. I work downtown
About to make this and adding chaga tea as well (even more antioxidant power!) let y’all know how it goes taste wise!
Hey Thomas can you make a video that explains a good way for kids and teens to lose weight I’m 13 and I used to be 230 pounds but I’m now 190 in 2 months.

Hi Thomas can you please do a video about medication with sugars and if they can kick u out of Ketosis.
gotta make it right now! thank you!
I do not think I’ll ever get caught up with Thomas D’s informative videos!

I'm sure you've had other stuff in your mouth that you had to 'suck it up and swallow.'
Glad I can brighten your day :) Sprouts is the best and i was just there today. Thrive has good stuff too!
not that i recall. other than liver.
High Energy Girl, if there is one in Arizona where I live, I'll check it out on your advice. Thank you so much!
Would or could you use monk fruit instead?. If so, how much would you use?
Nice video! Can we use monkfruit instead? More antioxidants!
Great recipe you and i both became dads I had my 3rd child recently a beautiful baby boy.
Love it. Going to try it. + You have a beautiful family.
Beauty, Brawn and Brains, your wife hit the trifecta! Seriously though, love your channel even if I don't understand much of the science stuff, thanks. :)
Yum!!! Thank you sir.
Cool, I'm gonna try this. Thx! BTW, loving ur channel here. Glad I found ur channel.
You have a lovely family.
Yehy thanks so much! Will doing this in the future. Thanks pogi
Thanks Thomas
Jaydn Eisner thanks for watching!
Thank you So much! !
Sarah A. thanks for watching!!
awesome video Thanks !
ripcord89 glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for tuning in!!
Hi, how about a video explaining visceral fat and how we could reduce it. Thanks.
What can i subtitute with cocoa butter?
Mmmmm let me try
How do you incorporate all these foods and drinks that you talk about in your videos into your daily diet & routine?
On my experience, slowly. You start with just a few things, slowly gathering things up and before you know it, your cupboards have changed.
Great video!
Louie Sutton thanks for tuning in!
Tell us about that fancy looking cookware?
Thanks for the science. Nice one :)
Hina Khodiyara thank you for watching! Glad you enjoyed the video!!
Hey Would this also taste good with the four-sigmatic mushroom coffee? Hmmz, I might try that.
It is pricey but I’m going to order some green matcha from foursigmatic and try this! Thank you for the science! And thanks for posting!
I'm drinking matcha green tea.and boy it makes me go!
Four sigmatic no longer has this green tea in the video
How would you fit these into your IF program? I take it you'd only eat these in the eating periods as these would kick you out of your fasted state?
I only found cacao butter, is that the same as cocoa butter
yes
cacao is objectively better but in the case of butter I think it doesn't matter
I love your puppies 🐶 🐶 🐶
Can I use liquid stevia? If so, how much? Thanks 😊👍🏻
Theres an online stevia calculator where you can convert lets say sugar to stevia or hell stevia to stevia (powder to drops or vice versa)
Do you store these at room temp or in the fridge?
How about YERBA MATE? It is used by hundreds of millions people in South America and is not a regular tea. It would be nice to hear your take on the beverage. I will keep asking ;)
The lion's mane requires the mycelium (alcohol extracted) WITH fruiting body for nerve growth factor to come into play.
For the ginger, pickled ginger will offer way more benefits then dried. But everything else, I'm sold. Just need cocoa butter. My current fat bombs of choice has been peanut butter and chocolate.
That link redirects to their coffee instead of their matcha green tea right now. Are they temporarily out or did they discontinue it?
You should use metal mini muffin pan instead of plastic. All plastic has BPA's or something similar to the BPA's so they can say it is BPA free.
What brand of cocoa butter should i buy? any recommendation?
You say saturated fat is bad once it's been oxidized. How does the fat become oxidized and what will happen negatively in the body?
Fat oxidation is a process by which the stored, giant lipid molecules are broken back down into their smaller parts, triglycerides and fatty acids. ... The larger molecules can't be used as energy by the body, so, they just stack up.
How do you store them? In the fridge, to keep cold? I’m assuming people eat them up, but how long will hey keep. You made about 8 maybe, if you ate one a day, would it still be good a week later? Thanks for the info. ☺️
It's important to know that ALL matcha products are good from a health viewpoint.
The ratings 'better' or 'best' are about artistic values --taste, fragrance, appearance.
thanks for the recipe. Congrats on the new baby ;-)
Hoping you could help with this...what’s more nutritious, cocoa butter or the powder?
I had a hard time finding Cocoa butter. I found Cacao Butter. Hopefully that will work and be as beneficial.
8:00 Freezer? How about the fridge over night?
glass tray would be awesome
Thomas , is cocoa butter the same as cacao butter?
It looks like cacao butter is simple less processed but is similar enough to be used in the same way. So basically it's more nutrient dense and that seems like it's a better choice.

Hey Thomas do you have a cocao butter source you’d recommend?
TD the best salesman ever (;

Jaymes Alexander Amazon

Where can I find the organic raw cocoa butter wafers?
I live in Canada and found a similar product on Well.ca so you should look online maybe for where you live. Hope this helps.
Can i replace sunflower butter with peanut butter

there is lots of people out there that cant eat coconut oil i finde lard works great
Is cocoa butter the same as cacao butter?
I would add some ground mint for a little better flavor.
Juuust made this. Except I added 1 tsp real vanilla extract, ANS Performance Vanilla Ketomate, 2 tablespoons ghee, 1 scoop of collagen, and 2 packets of lionsmane coffee.
You know once the camera turned off Thomas grabbed at least another one!
lol he loves his family 😂
Can I use liquid stevia instead
So in the 15-20 Minutes of freezing , TL literally went hiking ?😂 Well Boy
Hi Tomas, I like the Matcha bomb idea. I want to order that from your friends. They only have small packets. Do they sell it in a tin like you have?
Thomas, I'm confused about the "oxidation" of fat being a good thing vs. wanting oxidation in the body to be low (as in anti-oxidants). Can you make a video that clarifies this please?
Where can I get mantcha tea without sugar? I have been really wanting to get 1 but unfortunately I can't find without sugar
please talk about the dangers of omega 3...yellow fat disease
I did not know there was bpa-free plastic. Thank you. Could the slowing down of my gut motility be the reason why I had to quit match a year ago? I hated the effect that it had on my daily routine, if you know what I mean

Darren Bowman Why not break your fast with a keto coffee? This is now one of my favourite ways to break my fast and then have my meal a couple hours later (or same time :)
Darren Bowman look into xct oil .it's more concentrated and without the lauric acid which causes the stomach discomfort .
CACAO OR COCOA BUTTER. WHATS BEST?
What if I don't have cocoa butter on hand? Will be ok if I use other kind of butter (kerrygold)?
How many do you consume before a workout?
