Get It NowYou may already be used to ordering low carb at Starbucks, but if you haven’t tried my bulletproof coffee yet, you’re missing out! It keeps me full and energized all morning, it’s faster than a coffee shop run, and it tastes amazing. I’ll show you exactly why putting butter in coffee works so well (sounds weird, but trust me on this!) — whether you’re following keto or not — and some yummy flavor variations to keep it interesting. It’s become such a staple for me that I even included it in my Easy Keto Cookbook. Make this keto coffee with me in just a couple minutes!
Why You Need My Bulletproof Coffee Recipe
- Frothy and creamy – This is the frothiest, creamiest cup ever, with no milk required! Take a look at my pictures for proof. 😉
- Customizable flavor – There are basic versions out there and I have that for you here, but there are endless ways to change up your keto coffee. See my variations below.
- Quick and easy – It only takes a few minutes, and I even have 3 ways you can make it.
- Curbs your appetite – Unlike a black coffee that tastes bland or a sugary drink that will spike your blood sugar, my bulletproof coffee will keep you full for hours. It’s got 0g net carbs and healthy fats, so it boosts my energy levels without the crash.
What Is Bulletproof Coffee?
Bulletproof coffee, sometimes called bullet coffee for short, is a popular keto coffee made by blending butter (or ghee) with coconut oil or MCT oil. It’s a rich, frothy drink that tastes like a latte! Along with chaffles, it’s become a trend in the keto diet community, but I say you don’t have to be keto to enjoy its benefits!
The Bulletproof brand started this trend, but the term has become a go-to for any butter coffee. My recipe isn’t affiliated with the brand, but I do love using their coffee beans for it!
Ingredients & Substitutions
Here I explain the best ingredients for my keto coffee recipe, what each one does, and substitution options. For measurements, see the recipe card.
Main Ingredients:
- Coffee – Use any brewed coffee you like! I’ve made bulletproof coffee using regular coffee (my fave coffee beans are these and these), decaf coffee when I don’t want caffeine, heated cold brew, and even this instant coffee which is unbelievably delicious. Sometimes I select Americano on my coffee maker (it was a splurge, but I’ve had it for years and it’s paid for itself with fewer coffee shop runs!).
- Butter – Butter in coffee may sound strange, but when blended, it emulsifies for an amazing latte-like vibe! I recommend this grass-fed butter for the best nutrition and health benefits. It has more omega-3s than conventional varieties (source). You can also use the same amount of ghee or coconut oil if you’re sensitive to lactose or dairy, but your coffee will be less creamy.
- MCT Oil – MCT stands for medium-chain triglycerides. These fatty acids, found in coconut oil, aid in weight loss and fat burning (source) — but there are several types and some are better than others. C8 is absorbed faster for a burst of energy and produces more ketones, while C10 gives more sustained energy, so I like this blend of both. I don’t recommend C6 (can cause stomach upset) or C12 (harder to absorb). Coconut oil works as a substitute for texture, but doesn’t pack the same punch as refined MCT oil in coffee.
Optional Add-Ins & Variations:
- Milk – I don’t recommend regular dairy milk, since the lactose is sugar and will negate the benefits of this drink. I like to use unsweetened almond milk (regular or vanilla) in this recipe to lighten up the fat a bit, but any milk alternative or even sugar-free coffee creamer works, too.
- Collagen Protein – Add a scoop if you want extra protein for your macros. I like this brand. You might also like my high protein coffee recipe if you’re on a protein kick.
- Flavored Coffee Syrup – Add a splash of my sugar-free coffee syrup (it comes in hazelnut or vanilla). This is what I add most often!
- Plain Sweetener – When I want sweetness without flavor, my sugar-free simple syrup is my go-to. You can also add Besti Powdered Monk Fruit Allulose Blend, which dissolves effortlessly and has no aftertaste — unlike virtually every other sugar substitute.
- Mocha – Blend in up to 1-2 tablespoons of unsweetened cocoa powder, and sweetener if you like.
- Spices – Add a teaspoon of cinnamon or turmeric, or a dash of cayenne. For a fall vibe, swap the heavy cream for grass-fed butter in my sugar-free pumpkin spice latte.
- Toppings – Give it a coffee shop feel with a dollop of sugar-free whipped cream, and a drizzle of sugar-free caramel or sugar-free chocolate syrup.

3 Ways To Make Coffee With Butter
I have step-by-step photos here to help you visualize the recipe. For full instructions with amounts and temperatures, see the recipe card.
As you can imagine, you can’t just stir some butter into coffee and call it a day. It will be oily, and honestly, pretty bad that way. 😅 Instead, you have to make it frothy to emulsify it, which will make it taste like a latte! I’ve found 3 ways to do this:
- Blender – Just toss all the ingredients into a blender and blend until frothy. This is my favorite way to make it, pictured below. There’s less chance of a mess, and I can whip up a double batch for my husband and me.
- Milk Frother – Add everything to a mug or tall glass, then grab a milk frother (or immersion blender) and blend until frothy. Just make sure to leave enough space at the top to avoid spilling!
- Self-Stirring Mug – I just got this self-stirring mug and it’s the easiest way to make bulletproof coffee without extra tools to wash! Just add your ingredients, press a button, and it blends perfectly.
TIP: Drink your bullet coffee right away!
It will lose its frothy texture with time and can form a film on top. It tastes best fresh! But if you need to, you can blend it again later to bring it back together.
Common Questions
- Why do people put butter in their coffee? I put butter in coffee to make it rich, creamy, and frothy—like a latte without the carbs. It also adds healthy fats that can you full and energized. I love the mental clarity I get from it, too.
- Is coffee keto friendly? Yes, coffee is keto! It’s naturally carb-free—and so is my butter coffee recipe. Just skip the sugar and processed, high-carb creamers.
- Does bulletproof coffee break a fast? It depends on your approach. Technically, anything with calories does break a fast, but I find that I still get intermittent fasting benefits—like steady blood sugar and reduced hunger—even if I drink this keto coffee in the morning. But if you’re fasting, it’s best to skip the optional add-ins.
- Can you make it iced instead of hot? Yes, you can. Make it hot and just pour over ice. But drink it fast because it will separate in a few minutes! You could also make my keto iced coffee instead.
- Can you make it with tea? Yes! Sometimes I use brewed tea instead of brewed coffee. It’s delicious in its own way, with less caffeine.
- Can you make it ahead? Sort of. Bulletproof coffee will separate and/or form a film on top as it cools, which isn’t very appetizing. But I have a shortcut to meal prep on the recipe card below.
More Keto Breakfast Recipes
Looking for more low carb ways to start your day? I have so many low carb breakfast recipes you can try:
- Eggs & Bacon – Coddled eggs are my personal favorite, but baked eggs or egg muffins are awesome for meal prep. Cook up your bacon in the oven for a big batch, or you can air fry bacon or microwave bacon for smaller, quicker options.
- Low Carb Bagels – I always have a batch in my freezer! Toast them up and top with cream cheese and lox, mashed avocado with everything seasoning, or an egg and bacon for a keto breakfast sandwich.
- Sweets – Try my keto pancakes, low carb waffles, or French toast for a sweet treat. I also love low carb coffee cake or a keto donut together with bulletproof coffee.
- Low Carb “Oats” – Warm up with a bowl of keto oatmeal, or grab some low carb granola.

Maya’s Recipe Notes
Serving size: 1 bulletproof coffee
- Add-ins & flavors: There are lots of ways to change up this drink. See my variations above!
- Meal prep: Butter coffee is not ideal for making ahead because it will separate or form a film on top, but you can batch prep the add-ins. Mix softened butter and coconut oil together, then freeze in an ice cube tray. Pop a cube or two in your blender before adding hot coffee and mixing. Keep in mind, pure MCT oil does not freeze well, so this method works better with coconut oil instead, which still has some MCTs.
- Have questions? See my FAQ above first, and if you don’t see the answer, leave me a comment below.
- Note on nutrition info: The optional add-ins are not included. It will vary depending on what you add.

0I make bullet coffee all most every morning, sometimes I use cream or 1/2 &1/2 (1/4 cup) of SF saltedcaramel skinny syrup , delish☕delish.
Brandi
0Hi. I love your information but the web page is so full of pop ups and stuff coming at you and loading that it’s sooo hard to scroll and read without having to move stuff out of my reading. Very frustrating.
Coffee is amazing though!!

Mahalia
0Was lovely, but only used 1/4 cup of unsweetened almond milk and vanilla protein powder instead of collagen.
Anu
0Thanks for the recipe! Just a note, ghee is not dairy free (clarified butter), but it is lactose free.
Marie
0This is delicious. Thank you.
Lori
0Don’t forget you can use Heavy Whipping Cream instead of Almond Milk which some don’t care for- or are allergic to- its is only 1-3 carbs depending on the brand. I have been making this for 2.5 yrs now- its filling and delicious- tastes like dessert. Make sure you put the collagen in cup first then coffee then froth- then add butter froth, then oil froth, then cream- froth it all up into a latte- YUMI love all your recipes Wholesome Yum!!
Tamsin Pape
0Hi I have always had a pretty high keto diet but got more strict with it last year as well as having a detox and managed to shift that extra stone of toxic belly fat which is great as my IBS of 15 years has cleared! I love the look of these bulletproof coffees as I don’t have breakfast anymore I usually fast but I will have a drink of some sort. Usually, an herbal tea or a b vitamin natural drink or a brunch-time shake. I am missing that morning coffee though.. saying that I do not drink any caffeine as it really doesn’t agree with me. I do have organic decaf coffee I have now and again. Can I make a bulletproof coffee using decaf instant coffee or does it have to be coffee beans to make this? I don’t have a coffee machine. Will it taste the same ♀️
Squeaky
0I make this with instant decaf espresso all the time! Sometimes I want a coffee and a snack in the afternoon, and it’s so quick to just boil water, pour in my measuring cup with the ingredients, and whip it up with my stick blender, rather than brewing one cup of decaf. I know your original comment is old but maybe someone else will read this. 🙂
Wholesome Yum M
0Hi Tamsin, Yes! Decaf instant coffee will work great with this bulletproof coffee recipe. Enjoy!
Christina
0but watch the FAT content.. Count your own macros from each ingredient because these nutritional values underneath the recipe MUST be wrong. that doesn’t even cover the value of a teaspoon of butter let alone all of those ingredients. :/
One of these coffees, according to the ingredients I have in front of me..
– Coffee black: 0 and 0 calories
– Butter, 1 tsp (13gr) : 10.7 fat, 97 calories
– Raw Virgin Organic Coconut Oil, 1 tsp 13.5 fat, 120 calories
– Almond milk (because it would be weird having this without milk) let’s say 50ml in your coffee: there’s another 12 calories
So, I just don’t understand how people fit this bulletproof coffee in esp when they put full tablespoons of these in or put whipped cream on top too?!?! This cut down version I just wrote is already 25gr fat and 220 calories! For one coffee that better be filling enough to last you half the day without eating.. :/ :/ Ps – with whipped cream it’d be 1.5 time that too.. Tell me how you guys have this each day? Do you eat like birds? I’d LOVE to have this in a day but not at the expense of an entire meal.. I’m soo curious to know
Maya | Wholesome Yum
0Hi Christina, This is a high-fat recipe and that’s the point. I do wonder if you are reading the labels as 1 teaspoon when they actually say 1 tablespoon? 13 grams of butter is much closer to a tablespoon than a teaspoon. Bulletproof coffee is very filling, so yes, it keeps me full all morning.
Emily Webb
0I started drinking this coffee 2 weeks ago when I saw this recipe. I follow it exactly. I even went through the link to buy this MCT oil from Amazon. I love it! it is very frothy and delicious. I am very saddened however, because I can no longer drink it. I had my cholesterol checked today and it was high. I have never had high cholesterol before and the one suggestion the provider stated was to stop the bulletproof coffee. Any suggestions?
Maya | Wholesome Yum
0Hi Emily, I’m glad you like the recipe. I don’t give medical advice, but if you’re following keto, be sure your doctor is familiar with it as the advice is sometimes different than conventional diets. There is a plethora of reasons for high cholesterol, and ways to interpret the numbers. I also highly recommend this book which helps dispel some cholesterol myths. But as always, no book or website is a substitute for a doctor’s advice.
Lucy Marrello
0what is the difference between MTC oil and coconut oil? I find MCT oil very expensive.
Wholesome Yum M
0Hi Lucy, MCT (Medium Chain Triglycerides) oil and coconut oil are very similar. Both contain MCTs, but the MCT oil is at a higher concentration than the coconut oil (which is at about 54%). This means you are getting more MCTs with every spoonful of MCT oil than you are with the coconut oil.
nicole
0Have been making this all week and love it! I usually have to reheat in the microwave just to make it hot again but honestly, it’s the best butter keto coffee I’ve tried.
Emma
0Hi, I’m new to keto drinks! just wondering if I could use ‘vita coco’ coconut milk in my keto coffee & skip the MCT oil, still use ghee? Would this have the same desired effect?
Thank you, Emma
Maya | Wholesome Yum
0Hi Emma, Unsweetened coconut milk will work fine, but not coconut water. Ghee is also fine, but it will have a more distinct flavor. Neither has quite the same benefits as pure MCT oil, though.
Jane
0Hi,
I just wanted to let you know that I’m moving on to another website, not because of your content or that your recipe is not what I want, in fact I really wanted to read your recipe and try it out but I’m so annoyed by all the advertising I just can’t bring myself to stay. Half my screen is taken up with it! It’s even taking over the comment box as I’m trying to type. I hope you see this as constructive criticism as that’s what it is. Normally I just get peeved and move on but this time I thought I would voice my irritation in the hope you would try to improve things.
Warm regards
Jane

Erin Rich
0Hello! I love this recipe. Except I use a TBSP of Ghee with coconut oil and plant based sugar free vanilla creamer. Do I need to add the MCT oil if the ghee I use already has coconut oil?
Wholesome Yum M
0Hi Erin, You can skip the MCT oil if you are already using coconut oil.
Anita
0Hi Maya
Thanks for all your great recipes!
How many keto coffees can you have a day? 2?
I’m watching my macro’s and tracking fat and carbs so will take that into account.
Thanks
Anita
Maya | Wholesome Yum
0Hi Anita, I would cap it at no more than one per day, otherwise you might not have enough room in your macros and calories for other nutrient-dense foods.
Michele
0I love the recipes, it’s the ads and the constant loading of ads and pop ups that keeps me from this page. Drives me crazy.

Jess
0I just made this for breakfast and it is way better than I expected! If I wanted to make this at work, would a blender bottle work to mix it up enough? Thanks!
Christy
0I use a magic bullet and it works great. I use about 1/2 the coffee, blend, pour in my cup and top with the rest of the coffee and give it a quick stir.
Denise
0Almond allergy. What can I substitute for almond mik?
Alyssa
0My favorite is Macadamia Nut Milk!! I prefer it over Almond Milk any day 🙂
Wholesome Yum M
0Hi Denise, Feel free to use whichever alternative milk you prefer!
Natalie
0First Bulletproof coffee.. made in a single cup blender with no milk. Just Ghee and MCT Oil.. thoroughly impressed! Also one week down in Keto and this is great! thanks for the recipe
Amor Partridge
0Hi there, Can I double the recipe and drink it all at once in the morning?
Maya | Wholesome Yum
0Hi Amor, Sure, that’s fine if you are fat adapted. If you are new to bulletproof coffee, I wouldn’t start doubling right away. A large amount of fat (when you aren’t used to consuming any) can cause stomach upset. Another thing I’d consider is your overall daily calorie intake — bulletproof coffee is fairly high in calories, so drinking double the amount might not leave you much room for other nutrients throughout the day.
Amor Partridge
0Thank you.
Trista
0I just started making this coffee on Monday and I’ve been using coconut oil because it’s all I had, but now I’m looking into ordering to make the best bulletproof coffee for weight loss.
What would you recommend: MCT oil or coconut oil? unsalted butter or ghee?
Can you tell me why also?
Thanks so much!
Wholesome Yum M
0Hi Trista, MCT oil is usually made from coconut oil. It is always in a liquid state, so it is easier to use than solid coconut oil, and it has a higher concentration of MCTs so has more benefits. For that reason, I prefer using MCT oil (or MCT powder), but that’s really a matter of preference. Ghee and butter are very similar in terms of nutritional value. Ghee is lower in dairy proteins, has a higher smoke point, and a stronger flavor profile since it’s basically concentrated butter. If you are trying to cut back on the amount of dairy you consume – then ghee is the better choice, otherwise, both are excellent choices to add to your morning coffee.
Michelle
0Can you use coconut milk instead of almond milk? I just happen to have a can of it.
Wholesome Yum M
0Hi Michelle, Sure, but it will change the macros using a higher fat milk.
Helly
0After blending everything up , is it ok to put it in the microwave to warm it up again?
Maya | Wholesome Yum
0Hi Helly, Yes, but it tends to separate or form a film. If you reheat it, I recommend blending it again.
Van Reece
0I read your recipe with great interest. I’ve heard about this coffee for years but your recipe (and ratings) seem the best. My question: Can I use my Nutribullet as the blender? Will it still froth?
thanks
Van
Maya | Wholesome Yum
0Hi Van, Yes, your bullet blender will work great, as long as it’s heat-safe. I personally have a different kind of blender.
Sharon
0Not sure this is a great suggestion. Nutribullets are not meant for hot liquids and the pressure created from the heat will be too great to use this safely. I’d highly recommend not using a nutribullet. I didn’t realize this at first and used mine, which lead to 2 cracked containers that were no longer usable afterwards. Imagine it cracking enough mid-use leading to exploding hot liquid. A blender w/ glass heat-proof container is better.
Stephanie
0If you only add half the ingredients to the Bullet, and use the largest carafe, might it be safer? Hot butter coffee burst everywhere trying it a couple of yrs ago. Now I just use a stick blender in a tall mug, and its perfect!
Wholesome Yum M
0Hi Sharon, Thank you for the tip!
Cecelia Price
0I’m pretty much dairy free since my body doesn’t agree with it. Would plant-based butter work?
Wholesome Yum M
0Hi Cecelia, You can omit the butter if it doesn’t agree with your body.
Lyss
0Hi! I’m just starting keto and I’m wondering what kind of coffee I should buy for this? Thanks 🙂
Maya | Wholesome Yum
0Hi Lyss, No special type of coffee needed here! You can use any kind you like, but my favorite coffee beans are this brand and this brand. Enjoy.
Shar
0Loved the recipe we used unsweetened organic soy milk and got beautiful froth Was nice to use a little less butter and MCT oil as well. Yum Yum!
Liz
0Is there a reason why I shouldn’t add 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract or other flavoring to my recipe? Thanks!
Wholesome Yum M
0Hi Liz, Nope, no reason at all! Try it and enjoy.
Carmen Destro
0I just started the Keto diet, I love this Coffee, but since I started this I seem to have acid reflux alot, I take Nexium (Perscription) but it doesn’t seem to help, Any ideas ?
Wholesome Yum M
0Hi Carmen, Unfortunately, I am not a doctor and cannot comment on medical issues. I suggest you talk with your doctor about your acid reflux.
Windy
0Have you tried Karma Kaffe. It is a powdered mix for bulletproof coffee so there is no oily after taste. I get it on line from Costco.
Also do you know if the sugar Whey Lo is Keto
Wholesome Yum M
0Hi Wendy, I am not familiar with these brands. I will have to do some research! Thank you
Mitzi
0Hi once in a while I like to use salted Carmel skinny syrup no carbs or sugar is that ok.
Wholesome Yum M
0Hi Mitzi, This should be fine to use on occasion.
Eric
0Your keto coffee recipe it’s close to mine. I use EVCO instead of MCT and whey protein powder instead of collagen. A little butter maybe a little shake of cinnamon and a shake of ground cloves really makes for a great coffee. Then there are just plain old coffee and milk mornings too.
Sheryl
0Could you tell me the best brand of MCT oil to use? Thank You
Maya | Wholesome Yum
0Hi Sheryl, This brand is my favorite because it has a blend of C8 and C10.
Rachael Knight
0We’ve been using this for years now to help cut down with snack cravings. Love your blog and recipes.
Lou lou
0I need mine a sweet. What can I put in therel??
Maya | Wholesome Yum
0Hi Lou lou, I recommend monk fruit allulose blend – it dissolves better than most others and tastes like sugar.
Cathy Cameron
0This tastes so delicious! I’m surprised at how much I like it! I was hesitant to try it, but I did. Now I don’t consume anything almond, so I sub’d Silk brand unsweetened vanilla coconut milk, but that was the only change I made to the recipe. YUM! This will be my keto beverage of choice every morning. Thanks for posting this great recipe!
Colleen Hiku
0Would love to try the bullet proof coffee but not sure about hot coffee in my blender. I like drinking hot coffee.
How does this work or is it only for cold coffee.
Amy
0I use my ninja blender with the heavy plastic cups every day for my bulletproof coffee. I’ve used it for years now. Never cracked.
Maya | Wholesome Yum
0Hi Colleen, My blender is fine with hot coffee and that’s what this recipe is for, but check if your blender can do hot liquids. If not, you can use a milk frother like I linked in the tools section above the recipe card.
Shelley
0i am wondering if i can replace my 3 pm coffee with this bulletproof coffee as well?
is there any harm in having 2 cups a day?
Wholesome Yum M
0Hi Shelley, It is your preference. Bulletproof coffee adds additional fat to your day, so keep that in mind.
Anne
0I’ve been told that collagen absolutely breaks any intermittent fasting. Only coffee and fat in morning coffee. I believe collagen needs to be taken on an empty stomach so I drink it one hour before my first meal of the day. What do you think?
Meanwhile, thank you for the delicious recipes!
Loreta Bllaci Brandbyge
0Hi Anne, If you are concerned about the IF, then you are correct; you should not use collagen at all. The key of IF- weight loss lies In the maintenance of low insulin levels in the period between the meals. Collagen is a protein and, just like glucose but not fat, it is a trigger of Insulin release. So, you would be still fasting as long as you don’t consume proteins at any point during the fast.
Maya | Wholesome Yum
0Hi Anne, It depends on your goals. Some people define intermittent fasting as only water, some say water and black coffee, some say water and coffee and fat, some say anything liquid with no carbs. It’s a spectrum and you can try things out to see what works best for you.
Maya | Wholesome Yum
0Hi Anne, Technically fat breaks an intermittent fast as well, so people who want to very strictly intermittent fast would not drink BPC either. However, personally I do intermittent fasting and handle the BPC within the fast just fine, collagen included, and still see the benefits of the fast. It just depends on you and the reasons for fasting. If you’re fasting for autophagy, both the collagen and fat would be an issue. If it’s for weight loss, likely both would be ok.
James Johnson
0Well reading your article just made me realize that I’ve been using WAY to much of ghee and MCT. I put 2 tablespoons of each in my butter coffee. Lol I love your recipe with almond milk.
Maya | Wholesome Yum
0Hi James, There isn’t exactly a “wrong” amount to put in, but with BPC I always like to make sure it’s filling enough but not so filling that the calories crowd out other nutrients in your diet. 🙂
Antonella
0Love this version of bulletproof coffee, I’ve been making mine with 2 teaspoon of heavy cream, 1 teaspoon of butter grass fed & coconut oil, it’s curbs my hunger so much.
Margo
0I’m 3 months in to my Keto diet and I’ve been playing around with the butter coffee. I discovered the MCT was upsetting my stomach, but after reading your recipe, I see that I was using way too much! Now I’ll try it again using just 1 tsp. I also use a Keto coffee powder containing MCT and grass fed butter among other ingredients. I still add a small pat of butter, unsweetened almond milk, a sprinkle of cinnamon (or sometimes Pumpkin pie spice), and monkfruit sweetener. I put it all together then put it in the microwave, mainly to melt the hard butter. Then I froth it. I was using an immersion blender, but thought I’d try my Magic Bullet blender. It came with blender cups with handles that I can drink from without having to wash a container. Hardly any cleanup involved and the froth was the best ever!
Della Hall
0Can you use any butter? Or does it have to be unsalted, ect?
Wholesome Yum A
0Hi Della, grass-fed, unsalted butter is typically the norm… Though a small number of people do enjoy it with salted butter!
Ilona
0OMG this is my 1st time trying BULLETPROOF COFFEE and I love it, thank you very much
Cookie
0I enjoy yur recipes! What a blessing. I make yur bagals once a week, and freeze them. Buying a coffee maker this week. I’m excited about your bullet proof coffee. This is new for me! Tks so much. For SHARING yur skills w/us.
Kristine Louis
0Made this coffee for me and my husband. Used oat milk. Turned out fabulous!
Lynda Bresnahan
0Hello, I’ve been watching and reading from many different resources and it’s left me with more questions than answers. It seems the more I learn about Keto, the less confident I feel in my diet. As a newbie I feel it’s important to keep it simple in the beginning and not complicate things too much. So I am doing the best I can until your book is released because I believe it’s going to be a great tool in helping me achieve my goal. Thank you!!!
Wholesome Yum M
0Hi Lynda, There are many different forms of keto and information overload is real! Please don’t overwhelm yourself trying to learn them all. In the beginning, it is easiest to pick one person, website, or resource to follow and then get going from there. As you learn how to keto, you can make the changes your body needs.
Traci
0Can you use a plant based butter that contains coconut? Or do you HAVE to use ghee or grass fed butter?
Wholesome Yum A
0Hi Traci, many plant based butters contain other inflammatory vegetable oils, so I wouldn’t recommend that. If you want a plant-based substitution, I would suggest plain coconut oil.
Barbara
0I have a two speed 2 pc handheld immersion blender (one piece is the blending stick, the other is a whip); I also have a Nutri-Bullet which is not recommended for hot beverage use … my question is two-part:
Have you tried using cooled or iced cold coffee to get the same flavor result? And have you tried using any handheld blender?
Wholesome Yum A
0Hi Barbara, if you have a whisk-type attachment for your immersion blender, that would be the next best tool. Definitely keep your hot coffee in a heat-safe mug if you go that route. You might be able to make an iced version of this, but the butter needs to be fully blended while the coffee is hot first.
Julie
0The EASIEST way to blend – way better than a milk frother – is a handheld immersion blender!! Easy cleanup, and just as frothy as a blender. Mmmm…..
Kathy
0I have tried other bulletproof coffee recipes, and wasn’t thrilled with the result, but they forgot the most important part… the blender!
Thanks for a great recipe!
