Hi, I’m Holly, and welcome back to Midwest Meandering! Today we’re making one of our family’s all-time favorite snacks — Tallow Bites, our way. These are clean, high-fat, nourishing, and incredibly satisfying. We’ve been making them for months, and honestly, we go through beef tallow the way we used to go through butter!

We eat mostly keto-carnivore — high fat, anti-inflammatory foods with just a touch of keto flexibility. These bites have been a home run. They travel beautifully (just pop them in a cooler with frozen water bottles), and when temptation hits on the road, one of these little bites keeps you full and happy.

Let’s make them together!


Why Tallow Rocks

 

Beef tallow is deeply nourishing — a true superfood. It’s packed with healthy saturated fats that fuel your hormones, brain, and energy levels. Since switching to a high-fat carnivore approach, I’ve lost over 50 pounds, my thyroid has healed, and my husband’s blood sugar has stabilized better than ever. Fat doesn’t make you fat — it helps you thrive.


🍫 Chocolate Tallow Bites

Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Measure 1 cup of tallow into your blender (I use a Vitamix, but any blender works).
  2. Microwave the second cup for about 15 seconds — just enough to soften, not melt.
  3. Add the warm tallow to the blender.
  4. Add cocoa powder, monk fruit drops, vanilla, and a small splash of cream.
  5. Blend on high until it begins to whip — a few minutes should do. Stop once to scrape the sides so everything incorporates.
  6. Taste and adjust sweetness as desired. (You can also add a bit of allulose if you like a different texture.)
  7. Pour into silicone molds and place in the freezer until solid.

 

This batch makes roughly six dozen one-ounce bites (depending on mold size). Once frozen, pop them out and store in a zip-top bag in the freezer.

They taste like chocolate candy — but they’re actually nourishing your brain, balancing your blood sugar, and keeping cravings away.

 


🍋 Lemoncello Tallow Bites

Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Add both cups of tallow to your blender (no need to warm if your kitchen’s warm).
  2. Add monk fruit, lemon oil, and a small splash of cream.
  3. Blend until smooth and whipped.
  4. Pour into molds and freeze until firm. 

These are bright, creamy, and my personal favorite. They taste like healthy lemon candy — rich, tangy, and smooth.

 


đź§Š Serving & Storage

 

You can enjoy them right from the freezer (my daughter Rachel actually likes them crunchy!) or let them soften a minute for a creamy, melt-in-your-mouth texture. We usually portion them into small bags — one for morning, one for afternoon.

 

Pro tip: High-fat snacks like this support digestion, brain function, and hormone health. They also help prevent energy crashes and carb cravings.


❤️ Final Thoughts

 

Since embracing high-fat carnivore eating, my husband’s diabetes is better managed, and I’ve never felt healthier. These tallow bites have been a big part of that journey — keeping us full, happy, and on track.

 

Whether you’re keto, carnivore, or just curious, I hope you’ll give these a try. They’re easy to make, delicious, and deeply satisfying.
