The Original Keto Coffee
Bulletproof coffee is known for its creamy, latte-like texture. Blending coffee with butter or ghee and MCT oil creates a rich drink with a frothy top.
Why the Texture Works
MCT oil changes the texture and richness of coffee. Combined with Lion's Mane Coffee, this becomes a creamy, full-bodied drink.
Keto-Style Notes
This recipe is popular with keto-style coffee drinkers because it uses fat instead of sugar or milk. If you follow a specific diet plan, use your own plan's guidance for serving size and ingredients.
The Blending Secret
You MUST blend this coffee. Stirring won't emulsify the fats—you'll end up with an oily layer on top. A quick 20-second blend creates that signature creamy, frothy texture.
Keto Variations
- Add collagen peptides if you like the texture
