Keto Simple Hot Butter Coffee

The best way to start the day on your Keto diet is with a morning breakfast with lots of fats. BULLETPROOF® coffee is the newest way to improve upon classic breakfast staples in a unique and convenient way. This super simple recipe here involves just two ingredients: your favorite hot coffee and a pat of butter. If you are using unsalted butter, you may wish to add a very small pinch of salt to your coffee as well. Why? When you add a lot of fat to coffee, you have two very contrasting components of richness and acidity. Adding a pinch of salt mellows out both flavors and completes the holy quad in cooking: salt, fat, acid, heat.

Why is having this Keto coffee for breakfast so important?

The purpose of breakfast is simply there in the name itself: to break a fast. For many of us, the fast is the time between our dinner and morning meal (usually spent sleeping). However, many people on the keto diet include intermittent fasting, meaning there’s a lot more time than just sleeping in between their last meal and breakfast, making that first meal of the day all the more important. Since fat is the main source of energy fuel your body uses in the Keto diet, it is so, so important to include this macro more than any other in your breakfast. Drinking butter coffee is a great way to keep carbs away and fats high, but it’s also a delicious way to have more fat in your diet without feeling sick from eating so much at breakfast.

How else can you eat fats without eating a large meal?

Whether you have a low appetite in the morning or just need an energizing snack during the day, you’ll want to incorporate fats without over-eating. Butter coffee is an innovative way to achieve this in the morning or for an extra energy boost in the afternoon. Other ways to increase your fat intake can include eating Keto fat bombs (there are tons of recipe variations on Carb Manager). If butter isn’t your thing, you can add fat to your coffee by stirring in MCT oil, clarified butter (ghee), or coconut oil. Whether you’re vegan, vegetarian, or just low-carb in general, butter coffee can work for everyone on the Keto diet.
