6 Keto Coffee Recipes to TAKE BACK YOUR MORNINGS

Is coffee okay on the keto diet? The answer: heck yes!

Keto coffee, sometimes also called bulletproof coffee, fatty coffee, or butter coffee, combines two main ingredients that you normally wouldn’t think to mix together: butter or oil, and coffee. Apparently they pair wonderfully together, provide you a huge surge of energy, and are excellent for the keto diet. For those seeking chipper, more productive mornings, this post is for you.

The ONE necessity that will make or break your coffee

One important thing to keep in mind is that since you are working with liquid and oil/fat, trying to mix your drink manually could result in an unpleasant drink since the layer of oil tends to sit atop the coffee (eww!). Instead, use a handy dandy tool like this one to combine the ingredients with ease and create a frothy treat that will change your mornings forever.

Alternatively, you can use something like this to blend your coffee ingredients together, but it can be a bit more annoying to clean all the parts, so the first option above is the more convenient way to go. This second tool is better used for keto smoothies.

Keto coffee benefits

Following a bulletproof coffee recipe includes beneficial ingredients that:

• Suppress hunger and stimulate metabolism, making it easier to control your food intake
• Give you more energy that is more evenly distributed over a span of time, versus creating a spike that could later lead to an energy crash
• Improve cognitive function by providing your brain with a source of energy that it can metabolize more efficiently than carbs
• Raise alertness and boost mood to make you feel happier overall

Plus, the taste is one that once experienced, is hard to go back from.

Ways to flavor your coffee

Keto coffee has evolved to include fats from various sources, like heavy cream, ghee (clarified butter that is better for those who are sensitive to lactose), and coconut milk. Use what you wish, as your coffee should be based on your preferences.

You can also personalize your drink with various additions to create a concoction that fits your taste buds, from cinnamon to cocoa powder, to sweeteners or sugar free syrups, or even this to add a unique flavor to your morning brew. Keep scrolling to see a roundup of unique keto coffee recipes for you to try and experiment with to mix up to your liking.
