32 MCT Oil Recipes That Can Fit Any Diet
MCT oil makes a powerful addition to your morning coffee, but it’s made for so much more. These MCT oil recipes add a great source of clean fats to just about any recipe—including breakfast, snacks and even ice cream.
Bulletproof Brain Octane C8 MCT Oil is the perfect addition to recipes, whether you’re keto or not. Unlike grass-fed butter or conventional coconut oil, it has a neutral flavor that pairs perfectly with any meal. (Just don’t heat it above 320 degrees.) Drizzle it on cooked meat and veggies, pour a tablespoon or two into smoothies or mix it into snacks and spreads for a quality source of fat that keeps you full and focused for hours.
