Instructions
Brew a cup of high-quality coffee using your preferred method, such as a coffee maker or French press. Aim for a strong brew, about 8-12 ounces.
In a blender, combine the freshly brewed coffee with 1-2 tablespoons of MCT oil. MCT oil provides a quick source of energy and helps boost ketone production in the body.
Add 1-2 tablespoons of grass-fed butter to the blender. Grass-fed butter is rich in healthy fats and adds a creamy texture to the coffee.
Blend the mixture on high speed for about 20-30 seconds or until it becomes frothy and well combined. Blending ensures that the oil and butter emulsify with the coffee, creating a smooth and creamy beverage.
Pour the blended keto coffee into a mug and enjoy immediately. The frothy texture and rich flavor make it a satisfying and energizing drink, perfect for starting your day or as a mid-morning pick-me-up. Adjust the quantities of MCT oil and butter to suit your taste preferences and dietary needs.
Notes
Quality Ingredients: Use high-quality coffee beans, organic if possible, to ensure the best flavor and health benefits.
Healthy Fats: Opt for MCT oil and grass-fed butter to maximize the nutritional value of your keto coffee. These fats provide energy and support ketosis.
Blending Technique: Blending the coffee mixture is crucial to achieve a creamy, frothy texture. Avoid stirring, as it may not fully incorporate the fats.
Optional Additions: Customize your keto coffee with collagen peptides for added protein or flavor enhancers like cocoa powder, vanilla extract, or cinnamon. Adjust quantities to suit your taste.
Serving Size: The recipe is designed for one serving. Adjust ingredient quantities accordingly if making multiple servings.
Caloric Consideration: Be mindful of the calorie content, especially if you're following a calorie-restricted diet. The calorie count can vary based on the ingredients used and optional additions.
Storage and Reheating: Keto coffee is best enjoyed fresh. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator and reheat gently before consuming. Note that the texture may change upon reheating.
Personalization: Feel free to experiment with different flavors, ratios of fats, or additional ingredients to find your perfect keto coffee combination.
Consultation: If you have specific dietary concerns or health conditions, consult with a healthcare professional or nutritionist before incorporating keto coffee into your routine.
