Wake Up Right with This Easy Keto Coffee Recipe

I love coffee all the way through. Coffee gives me energy with just a regular cup of coffee in the morning. But once I tried keto coffee, it was the right mix of treat and energy boost I didn't know I needed. Who knew putting butter and MCT oil in your coffee would make it creamier and help you feel fuller for longer? At first, I wasn't sure—because butter in coffee? Really? But trust me, this food is excellent, especially if you're on the keto journey.

If you haven't heard of keto coffee (also known as "bulletproof coffee") before, it's not your regular cup of coffee. Healthy fats in large amounts can speed up your metabolism and keep you full until your next meal. Really, it's so damn easy to make. It only has three things, but it tastes like a treat every morning. Don't worry if you're not on the keto train—you'll still enjoy the rich, creamy goodness this coffee brings!

The Magic of Keto Coffee: Why Add Butter and Oil?

I understand what you're thinking. Butter? In coffee? Yes! Let's break it down. Make sure the butter isn't salted. It gives the recipe a smooth, rich, and next-level creamy texture. You'll also get a lot of good fats to keep your body going without any carb crashes. What about MCT oil? This is the best thing for people who love keto. MCT stands for Medium Chain Triglycerides. These are fats that your body can turn into energy very quickly. So, it's a food for your brain and body that works quickly.

It might sound strange initially, but you'll get it after trying it. It's like drinking a rich latte that gives you energy for hours!

My First Experience with Keto Coffee

I wasn't sure if I would like keto coffee the first time I tried it. Trying new recipes is fun for me, but butter in coffee? I thought it would be greasy, but it was a smooth, creamy cup of heaven. It had a lot of taste without being too strong, and it was smooth and rich without being too much. Regarding the energy boost, I didn't even think about having a snack until lunch!

Coffee of Your Choice

How to Make Keto Coffee?

Step 1: Brew Your Coffee

Brew your favorite coffee just like you normally would. Whether you’re a French press fan or love your drip coffee maker, use whatever method works for you.

Zulay Says: Stronger coffee pairs best with the rich flavors of the butter and MCT oil.

Step 2: Add Butter and MCT Oil

Pour your freshly brewed coffee into a cup, and add the butter and MCT oil. Don’t be shy with that tablespoon of butter; it’s what gives the coffee that signature creamy texture.

Step 3: Froth It Up

Now for the fun part! Use your Milk Frother to blend everything together. Froth it until it’s smooth and creamy, and you’ll start to see that perfect foam form on top. The butter and oil should be fully incorporated, giving your coffee that luxurious texture.

Step 4: Sip and Enjoy!

That’s it! Your easy keto coffee is ready to drink. Pour it into your favorite mug, give it a sip, and let that creamy goodness kickstart your day.
