Kick Off Your Day with Keto Coffee!

If you’ve been anywhere near the internet lately, it seems like all anyone is talking about is keto, keto, keto! But what is keto? A ketogenic diet is a high-fat, moderate-protein, low-carbohydrate diet that sends your body into a state of ketosis where it burns stored fat for energy. It has been used as a dietary treatment for epilepsy since the 1920s, but is now being utilized as a weight loss strategy. 

So now you’re thinking you might want to give keto a try—but where to start? One of the easiest ways to integrate some of these strategies is in your morning coffee.

Ingredients:

•   8oz of freshly brewed coffee

•   1 Tbsp organic, grass-fed butter

•   1 Tbsp MCT oil

Directions:

While the coffee is still hot, blend up all the ingredients in a blender or with a handheld frother.

That’s it! If you want to make it more flavorful, you have tons of great options to mix it up. Consider adding a teaspoon of cinnamon or make a junior mint in a cup: add a tablespoon of raw cacao powder with a teaspoon of peppermint extract and 2 tablespoons of full fat coconut milk or heavy, grass-fed cream. Who says you can’t have dessert for breakfast?
