    Keto or bulletproof coffee: what is it?

     

    Bulletproof coffee, the popular term for keto coffee, was coined by Dave Asprey, who was also the founder of the Bulletproof Diet. The alternative for coffee became popular among low-carb and keto dieters and is now widely known around the world.

     

    Keto coffee is basically a black coffee that is complemented with butter and MCT oil. The idea behind keto or bulletproof coffee is that it’s a low-carb alternative for sugary coffee. At the same time, the healthy fats provide you with the fuel you need. The fats will also make you feel full, which is why it’s a perfect drink to start your day or after a period of intermittent fasting.

     

    How does it taste?

    You might need to get a little used to the taste, especially if you’re used to drinking coffee with sugar and milk. A bulletproof keto coffee tastes a bit like a latte, but without the sugar. As milk – which is nothing more than a natural sugar – and sugar aren’t allowed on a keto diet, you’ll have to learn how to eat and drink without them anyways, so you better start with this great coffee keto diet alternative!

     

    Key ingredients for your keto coffee

     

    Although tastes differ and everyone likes their coffee in a specific way, we can point out the basic ingredients that are necessary to make a great keto coffee. As some of you may like to add an extra component to give your coffee an extra taste, we’ll also highlight three ingredients to make this possible.

     

         

    • Black coffee: You can use any kind of grind and beans, as long as it’s freshly brewed black coffee. The original Bulletproof Coffee uses organically grown beans, to make sure it contains the least amounts of toxins possible, but regular coffee will work as well.
    •    

    • Butter: Choose preferably grass-fed butter or ghee, as these are the healthy fats that the keto diet encourages to eat. Adding these fats to your coffee is an easy way to consume more of them and they also make the coffee very filling.
    •    

    • MCT oil: MCT oil, or medium-chain triglycerides are a keto favourite. MCT oil is typically made from coconut oil, but you can also find MCTs in palm kernel oil, whole milk or butter. MCT oil has the unique ability to travel immediately to your liver, where it boosts ketone production [3]. Several studies also show that MCTs promote fat loss [4].
    •    

    • Coconut oil: Instead of MCT oil, you can also use coconut oil in your keto diet coffee. Adding it to your keto drink helps you stay in ketosis as – just like MCT oil – it’s loaded with medium chain triglycerides (MCTs).
    •    

    • Vary with Erythritol, Stevia, turmeric or cinnamon: The beautiful thing about keto coffee is that, just with regular coffee, you can give it a personal twist. As long as the stuff you add is keto-friendly, the sky is the limit. You want your coffee to taste sweeter? Add the natural, keto-friendly sweetener Erythritol. Do you like spicy? Try turmeric or cinnamon! They both have some great health benefits as well, like reducing inflammation [5][6].
    •    

    • Blender: This is no ingredient of course, but it’s important to mix all your keto coffee ingredients together in a blender. This way, your coffee will become a bit fluffier and creamier. You can also use a (electric) hand whisk.
    •    

    • If you don’t have these tools at hand, or want to make it easy for yourself, you can also opt for one of our easy  instant coffees. Simply add hot water, shake or stir well and your keto coffee is ready to drink.

     

    SUMMARY

    The key ingredients of keto coffee are black coffee, MCT or coconut oil and grass-fed butter or ghee.

     

    The 5 benefits of bulletproof coffee

     

    So why exactly should you add butter and oil to your coffee? Although there’s plenty of research on the consumption of coffee in general, there are only a few studies on the specific consumption of keto coffee. Thus, we can’t draw any formal conclusions on keto coffee as such.

     

    However, looking at all the key ingredients of bulletproof coffee, we can see why it is claimed that drinking keto coffee has the following benefits:

     

         

    1. It helps you stay in ketosis: Keto coffee is packed with butter and MCT oil, which your liver can use to produce ketones from. So, when you are in a state of ketosis, drinking a keto coffee fuels your body with healthy fats and thus helps you stay in ketosis.
    2.    

    3. It contributes to weight loss: As keto coffee is low-carb but high in healthy fats, it supplies your body with the right ingredients to stay in ketosis. This means that your body is forced to burn fat for fuel instead of glucose and this of course contributes to losing weight.
    4.    

    5. It helps you feel full and satisfied: The MCTs and butter in keto coffee give you a full and satisfied feeling, which can prevent you from overeating or having cravings.
    6.    

    7. It boosts your energy: The caffeine in keto coffee is a stimulant for your central nervous system and is known for its ability to increase energy levels and reduce feelings of tiredness [1].
    8.    

    9. Supports mental clarity: Keto coffee supports your cognitive function and mental clarity. Some claim that it’s caused by the MCTs in keto coffee, as they are converted into ketones, which fuel your brain. However, there’s no scientific evidence for this. There is however evidence to suggest that it’s the caffeine in coffee which gives a boost in mental clarity and focus [2].

     

    SUMMARY

    The ingredients of keto coffee can help you feel full, contribute to weight loss, boost your energy and support mental clarity.

    • 1 cup of freshly brewed coffee (250 ml)
    •    

    • 1 tbsp MCT oil
    •    

    • 1 tbsp grass-fed butter
    •    

    • Optionally: 1 tsp of spices like cinnamon or turmeric

     

    Preparation

     

         

    1. Brew your coffee as normal. If you like strong coffee, prepare your keto coffee strong as well.
    2.    

    3. Put about 250 ml of freshly brewed coffee in a blender and add 1 tablespoon of Ghee or grass-fed butter and one tablespoon of MCT oil. You can also use a (electric) hand whisk.
    4.    

    5. Optionally you can add spices like cinnamon or turmeric to your coffee. You can even add other ingredients, as long as they’re keto friendly.
    6.    

    7. Mix it all together until your coffee is nice and fluffy.
    8.    

    9. Enjoy!

     

    Tip: do not use cow milk in your keto coffee, as it contains too many carbs. Great low-carb alternatives however are unsweetened nut and seed milks like almond, macadamia, coconut, hemp or flax milk.

     

    4 healthy keto coffee tips

     

    Although keto coffee fits perfectly in a keto diet, there are some facts you need to be aware of before you kick off.

     

         

    1. Use keto coffee in moderation: We all know that too much of anything just isn’t good for anyone. Remember coffee is full of caffeine and you don’t want to drink it I moderation. If you’re wondering how many carbs are in keto coffee, then you will be happy to hear that it contains zero net carbs!
    2.    

    3. Choose the right fats: Although healthy fats are at the base of the ketogenic diet, choose your fats wisely. MCT oil and grass-fed butter are a great choice for your bulletproof coffee.
    4.    

    5. Don’t live off bulletproof coffees alone: Although some ketonians love keto coffees, we don’t recommend living only on bulletproof coffees. Remember to eat your veggies and other foods to give your body all the nutrients, vitamins, minerals and fibers that you need.
    6.    

    7. Sweeteners: Don’t spoil your sweet tooth with all kinds of sweeteners. A bit of erythritol or stevia will add some flavor. But try coffee without it and enjoy the real coffee taste instead.

     

    Conclusion

     

    Keto coffee or bulletproof coffee can be a great way of kickstarting your day and boosting your energy, while staying in ketosis. It’s easy to make and there are many ways in which you can give it a personal twist with spices and other keto-friendly ingredients. Enjoy and have fun.
