One of our favorite things to experiment with (and enjoy!) is Keto coffee. There are endless possibilities! Coffee is also a great way to get your fat in by adding MCT oil or powder. In Keto-land, that is basically edible gold! We decided to compile a list of our favorite coffees, keto style. And no, butter coffee is not on the list!
CLASSIC MORNING KETO COFFEE
This one is more of a tip than a recipe. We drink our daily morning coffee with a tablespoon of Dr. Colbert’s MCT oil powder and a squirt of liquid stevia. Creamers and other sweeteners are loaded with sugar, carbs, and other unhealthy ingredients that will throw you out of your keto zone before you finish your cup! We prefer Dr. Colbert’s MCT oil powder because we’ve found it to be the purest (ingredient wise) and comes in a variety of flavors including coconut, vanilla, and hazelnut.
Alternatively, you can make iced coffee by mixing 1 part chilled coffee with 1 part almond milk, a dash of heavy whipping cream, a squirt of liquid stevia, and ice.
VANILLA KETO COFFEE SMOOTHIE
Inspired by this recipe from Forget Sugar Friday
Ingredients
One serving – this really is enough for 2 servings, if you decide to split it, cut the nutritional information in half.
2/3 cup coffee
1-1 1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk
1 scoop Colbert’s vanilla MCT powder
1 tbsp chia seeds
2 tbsp heavy whipping cream
2 squirts of Sweetleaf vanilla sweet drops*
Ice cubes
Instructions:
- Add all ingredients in blender.
- Pour in glass.
- Wait 5-8 minutes to allow the chia seeds to thicken the smoothie.
- ENJOY!
*You can also use 1 tsp vanilla extract and 3 squirts of stevia (or 1/8 tsp)
in place of the vanilla sweet drops. Be careful if you use the vanilla sweet drops – there is 1 carb per each “squirt”, so getting carried away with the “squirts” can quickly cost you!

If you reduce the sweet drops and whipping cream to one tablespoon each: Calories 157, Fat 12g, Carbs 4g, and Protein 3.25g
