FATBOMBS by The Strength & Conditioning Institute
These delicious snacks are a great source of low-carb energy, especially useful for those of you who are in the first few weeks of one of our Eight Week Transformation programmes.
These fat bombs are packed full of MCT's (medium chain triglycerides) which are a great source of quick energy, making them ideal for pre-workout snacks, a nice little treat after dinner, or great before runs. (Coach Shoebridge tip - add to a warm bowl of oats made with coconut milk and cinnamon - heaven!)
