Keto Coffee Recipes to Keep You Happy and Laser-Focused

Keto coffee is the ultimate way to wake up in the morning. Keto coffee recipes usually contain simple ingredients, such as unsalted butter (or grass-fed ghee) and medium-chain triglycerides, or MCT, in oil form added to high-quality brewed coffee.

It may seem unusual to add butter to your morning coffee mug at first, but the benefits are hard to ignore. Between sustained energy from caffeine, fat to keep you full and smash cravings, and a rich satisfying flavor, it’s worth creating every day.

Perfect as a breakfast companion, or in some cases a morning meal replacement, keto coffee such as Bulletproof Coffee is a perfect addition to any ketogenic diet meal plan.

However, quality matters when it comes to making keto coffee. And while some keto coffee recipes use compliant low-carb ingredients like heavy whipping cream and conventional butter, these can still cause irritation that can hamper your results if you’re sensitive to dairy fats.

The following recipes are full of healthy fat to keep you in ketosis. Hot or iced, blended or frozen, you can make sure your daily cup of coffee works hard to fuel you.
