Keto coffee is the perfect morning or afternoon drink for someone on a ketogenic diet. It’s also a way to give this ketogenic philosophy a shot. Instead of filling your coffee with high-carb milk and sugar, add beneficial fats. Instead of adding some creamer, put in some vitamin-rich butter. Instead of using a blood sugar spike sweetener, top off your keto coffee with cinnamon or cocoa powder!

WHAT IS KETO COFFEE?

What if I told you that butter in coffee and coconut oil in coffee are not only healthy, but actually quite tasty? It’s true! Keto coffee gives you all the coffee benefits and more. No longer will your morning be a jittery jolt of useless calories.

The idea with keto coffee is that it gives your body fuel that is nutrient-dense, blood-sugar-stabilizing fat. When I say “fat,” I’m talking about the following: grass-fed butter, coconut oil, or MCT oil.

Coconut oil is probably tasty, especially if you’re a coconut fan. But you might be nervous about adding things like butter. Please don’t be afraid. Grass-fed butter adds a creamy richness that makes extra dairy like milk or cream unnecessary.

Coffee with coconut oil and other healthy fats makes for a hot drink that is very satisfying. You not only enjoy the richness of this Keto coffee, but also keep you full for hours. So if you’re watching your weight, it’s not really a drink to shy away from, but it could be a coffee refresher that helps you lose your weight.

ADVANTAGES:

Organic coffee: Coffee is actually one of the top contributors of disease-fighting antioxidants in the American diet. Research shows that an average cup of coffee contains even more polyphenol antioxidants than cocoa, green tea, black tea and herbal teas!
Grass-fed butter: Grass-fed butter contains high levels of CLA, a compound that may help protect against several types of cancer and help the body store muscle instead of fat.
Coconut Oil: Coconut oil is rich in medium-chain fatty acids (MCFAs) such as caprylic acid, lauric acid and capric acid, which provide an excellent source of energy. Animal studies have also shown that coconut oil can improve antioxidant levels and reduce stress on the liver.
MCT Oil: MCT stands for medium chain triglycerides, a form of saturated fatty acid with numerous health benefits ranging from improved cognitive function to better weight management. Coconut oil is a great source of MCTs — roughly 62 to 65 percent of the fatty acids in coconut oil are MCTs. More concentrated “MCT oils” have also grown in popularity, so this recipe gives you the option of using either coconut oil or an MCT oil. Be sure to check out the blog about this beautiful oil.
Cinnamon: This is one of the healthiest spices on earth with antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-diabetic, anti-microbial, immune-boosting, anti-cancer and heart-protective abilities.
