This tasty low-carb coffee is inspired by the famous Bulletproof coffee and Egg coffee. I'm going to show you how you can easily add healthy fats in your diet, boost ketone bodies and lose more body fat!

Blending coconut oil or butter with coffee may sound odd to many of you. In fact, you will be surprised how creamy and delicious it is! If you blend it well, there will be no oil floating on top. Once you try it, you will never go back to your regular coffee! :-)

Recipe Tips

Instead of regular coffee, you can use Swiss water process decaf coffee, black tea or even your favourite herbal tea. Check out this recipe for Tibetan Butter Tea.
If a recipe calls for raw eggs and you are concerned about the potential risk of Salmonella, you can make it safe by using pasteurized eggs. To pasteurize eggs at home, simply pour enough water in a saucepan to cover the eggs. Heat to about 60 °C/ 140 °F. Using a spoon, slowly place the eggs into the saucepan. Keep the eggs in the water for about 3 minutes. This should be enough to pasteurize the eggs and kill any potential bacteria. Let the eggs cool down and store in the fridge for 6-8 weeks.
Make sure you use collagen powder (hydrolyzed gelatin) and not regular gelatin, as regular gelatin will clump like glue.

I only use 2 egg yolks. More and it’s just too eggy. Whites raw do not taste good in hot drinks - for anyone wondering. I skip the butter as we have no grassfed butter here and use cream for the coconut milk. Collagen should not be put in hot drinks. Only cool. I use my sugarfree coffee syrups for different flavors.

Martina @ KetoDiet 3 years ago # Reply

Thank you for sharing! You could add a bit more cinnamon or vanilla - I found that that beats any eggy taste in mug cakes and I think it will do the same here if you can taste the yolks.
As for collagen, I don't think you need to worry, it can withstand very high temperatures without degradation: www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21723833

Hi. I was just wondering if it's ok to use egg yolk powder in place of egg yolks.

Martina @ KetoDiet 5 years ago # Reply

Hi Ellen, I assume you could - as long as it's just powdered egg yolks it should work well in this recipe.

Nysia (http://nysiashomestead.wordpress.com/) 6 years ago # Reply

Can you mix the ingredients together and reserve for future cups of coffee? I've been toying with the idea of making coffee "fat bombs" that you can drop into a hot cup of coffee when needed.

Martina @ KetoDiet 6 years ago # Reply

I would personally make it fresh but I think you can do that and keep them in the fridge for 2-3 days. I'm not sure about the results though, I hope it won't curdle. Making coffee fat bombs is better as these would last for longer (you can make them with coconut oil and/or cacao butter or ghee, nut or seed butter, cinnamon/vanilla). I hope this helps!

Just stumbled on this recipe after reading the '15+ Common Weightless Mistakes'. I don't exactly know what is in BPC, but I have been making my own every morning. I add 1 tbsp butter, 2 tbsp HWC, 1 tbsp cocoa, 1 scoop collagen, a sprinkle of pumpkin pie spice and a splash of homemade vanilla. My coffee has 257 calories, 23g fat, 12g protein and 1g net carbs. I am new to Keto and have been using My Fitness Pal to figure my macros and am not real good at it yet (have a tendency to get my carbs but not my fat and protein a lot of times, even though I've gotten better since I've started drinking tea in the evenings with butter and HWC. I would appreciat it if you could tell me how my coffee is as part of my Keto lifestyle.

Hi Michelle, regular BPC is just fat & coffee but this version also provides protein and micronutrients. I wouldn't have this one every day but maybe 2-3 times a week. I like to include a variety of foods in order to get all the nutrients I need. Eating the same food may result in deficiencies.
When it comes to tracking, especially if you are new to it, check out our app: ketodietapp.com/
Some other trackers that use crowd sourced data contain a lot of errors and that is why you may sometimes notice that your macros don't make sense. We developed a way to eliminate obvious errors making our database more accurate.

Hello. I love your blog & app! Your recipes and information are priceless! I just started Keto a couple weeks ago, but haven't had much success. I currently drink coffee every morning with heavy organic cream, 1 Tablespoon organic MCT, 1-2 Tablespoons of Kerrigold butter. Sometimes I add Erythritol and stevia, some days I don't...I love it both ways. I drink my coffee from about 7am - 9:30, then have breakfast. Today I'm having your yummy pumpkin cream cheese pocket...LOVE IT! My question is that you say you don't drink buttletproof coffee every single day, but you said a healthier alternative is this recipe for Ultimate Keto Coffee...but it's very similar. I'm just wondering why you say you wouldn't have Bulletproof coffee everyday but you would this one? I do drink the coffee I described every day and I am not losing any weight/fat. In fact, I have been gaining and I am very concerned. I don't know what I am doing wrong. Anyway, I see you don't give advice, but just wondering why you would not drink Bulletproof coffee every day? Thank you so much for sharing all your knowledge and wonderful recipes with us! You are amazing and I am grateful to have found you.

Gretchen, thank you so much for your kind words! ❤ I'm glad you like the pockets - the dough is just perfect with any filling!
This recipe is similar, but compared to BPC which is pure fat, this recipe is more nutritious. Apart from fats, you'll get protein from collagen, and egg yolks will provide fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, E, K), B12, folate and choline. I think nutritionally it's quite similar to a smoothie 😊 Having said that, both BPC and this recipe might not be the best option if you are trying to lose weight and hit a plateau. If your weight is stalling, then I suggest you cut down on added fats (coconut oil and butter), at least for 1-2 weeks and see if that makes a difference. You can still have a cup or two with a dash of heavy cream but I'd avoid the added fats from butter and coconut oil (or MCT oil). I hope this helps!

tony 6 years ago # Reply

we have strict dairy rules here in Canada and can't get grass fed butter is there a good substitute that still has some nutrition and not just empty fat thanks

Hi Tony, you can just skip it - I wouldn't use more coconut oil as it may cause digestive issues. Or you can add a dash of heavy whopping cream or coconut milk.

Can you use the egg whites as well?

Yes you can! I use whole eggs in smoothies: Keto Chocolate Protein Smoothie

Oh my word! I was SUPER skeptical about this. The thought of the egg yolks had me squimish but I'm so glad I tried it!! It's amazingly delicious and filling! Thanks for helping me find my new favorite morning drink!!

Thank you for your lovely feedback 😊 I know that feeling, I used to be just as skeptical!

ChicaBoricua 7 years ago # Reply

Hello, I am completely new to KETO. My husband and I been doing the program for about a month. I saw this recipe and give it a try. I must say it is a win-win for me. It is my breakfast (5:30am) every morning. I have a question, it says that if you are IF or FF you must avoid some of the ingredients to feed your need. What are those ingredients?
I do not add any type of sugar on my coffee, also I do not add coconut milk or heavy whip cream but 2 tbsp of half and half.
It is half and half ok?

Martina @ KetoDiet 7 years ago # Reply

Hello, if you want to use this coffee as part of your fast, you may need to avoid the collagen and egg yolks, or omit some of the fats added to lower the overall calories per serving.

Thank you for sharing this recipe. I have never heard d of pasterizing my eggs at home until now. I also appreciate the fact you shared some sunflower seed flour based recipes that are low carb! Since I have a nut allergy, eating low carb has been a little difficult since most recipes call for almond flour.

Thank you so much Casey!

Hi Martina,
I just realized this is a drink I used to have as a breakfast replacement. I use one whole egg, more spices and heat it briefly in a saucepan just until it starts to thicken like a custard. No worries about salmonella. It usually keeps me full for hours. I added your gelatin and MCT and it is really decadent. Thanks!

Thanks for the tips Jill!

Jilli 7 years ago # Reply

To add protein for after a workout could you just use the whole egg?

Yes you could do that!

Would this be considered breakfast?

Yes, it's nutritious enough to be a complete meal.

Hi Martina.
I'm having a little bit of a challenge with which coconut oil to use. I had previously used one, but ran out and failed to save the jar for reference purposes. Could you tell me which coconut oil I should be using for my coffee?
I do remember it not having a 'coconut' smell. Does that mean I used the wrong coconut oil? Not sure if smelling coconuts while drinking my coffee sounds very appealing. But I do feel like the coconut oil I did use helped me with my weight...
Thank you,
Yvette

Hi Yvette, I live in the UK and like Lucy Bee. If you live in the US, here are my tips, including coconut oil: ketodietapp.com/recommended/Products.aspxFilter
If the product had no smell, it was deodorised. I would personally avoid it as in most cases, there is a chemical process involved to remove the odour. I use virgin coconut oil and I can't smell it in my coffee at all. Or if you don't like it, you can try MCT oil which is without odour.

Jon 7 years ago # Reply

Sorry, I mean the gold label virgin.

What are your thoughts on Tropical Traditions extra virgin coconut oil? My friends swesr by it, and it seems pretty good. I could eat it with a spoon because it is solid at room temperature and it doesn't really feel oily in my mouth.

I'm afraid I can't help here because I haven't tried it - I would just be guessing by Amazon reviews.

Sandi 6 years ago # Reply

Hi Jon,
I can personally vouch for Tropical Traditions coconut oil. All of them are wonderful! The gold label is the virgin, hand processed, smells & tastes like coconut. They also have expeller pressed (no chems used). They are spendy, so watch for sales! Wilderness Family Naturals also has a good coconut oil, both virgin and expeller pressed. Azure Standard (if they deliver by drop in your area--for free), they carry WFN coconut oil at a better price. Hope that helps.

I tried it this morning and was nervous to drink it and I think it was because it contained the 3 egg yolks. NOT so bad! I like the taste, I did opt out on the gelatin and added vanilla flavor(zero carbs). Thank you so much for sharing this!

Glad you enjoyed! 😊

hank you so much. I was looking for a way to get more fat in my diet. Gong straight from school to work makes this hard. I can put the ingredients in mason jars and get coffee at work. Thank you so much.

ketoqueen 8 years ago # Reply

I don't understand why people do all of this when you can just use heavy whipping cream...and add other nutrients if necessary....

This doesn't taste the same way and has several other benefits. You don't need to make coffee this way - you can just use cream if you prefer that.

Lonni 8 years ago # Reply

This recipe sounds decadent...yum! I've been drinking BPC for 2 months and feel really great. I typically don't need to eat until about 1:00 and have tons of brain capacity and energy. I did see on your blog where you listed BPC every morning as #10 on your posting of "Weight Loss Keto Mistakes". For us coffee drinkers who supplement this as a meal, I'm just curious how BPC each morning is different than what you are recommending in this recipe? Thank you in advance.

Thank you Lonni, the "regular" BPC is pure usually fat + coffee. What did in this recipe is that I added protein and micronutrients so it's a proper meal.

Priya Aurora (http://www.ketoforindia.com/) 8 years ago # Reply

Hi Martina.
Can i try this without the gelatine? And is this a cold coffee ? Can i blend all and heat it before drinking ? Or will that cook the yolks ? I don't get unsweteend gelatine here, all the brands have added dextrose.

Hi Priya, yes, you definitely can. In fact, on most day, I make this without the gelatine, added fats and sweeteners (just coffee, egg yolks and coconut milk). I wouldn't reheat it because I think it may curdle with the egg yolks in. So rather than that, I'd use hot coffee - don't worry, it won't cook the egg yolks 😊

I have an adverse reaction to coconut oil / mct oil. It's gives me insane acne around my mouth and chin. I currently am replacing MCT in my coffee with raw cacao butter (1tbsp cacao butter, 1tbsp grassfed butter, collagen, and chaga extract). Is that sufficient? I'm pretty bummed I can't use the MCT.

Yes, that sounds great! If you have an issue with coconut oil or MCT oil, fats like ghee, cacao butter or regular butter are great alternatives.

Tried this recipe today although slightly modified. I was afraid of the egg yolks and how that would interfere with my IF so only used one. I added only a tsp of gelatin as I'm not sure if what I have is hydrolysed or not. I used tbsp and half of organic coconut oil and instead of erythritol I used NuStevia and no cinnamon. SF Caramel syrup instead and heavy cream. Pretty tasty. Thank you! Maybe tomorrow I'll do 3 egg yolks. 😊

Martina @ KetoDiet 9 years ago # Reply

Thank you Kim, glad you liked it! 😊 If you use gelatine, it should say "collagen" or "hydrolysed" - otherwise it's the one that thickens. This coffee is way to nutritious to be used for the "fasting window" but you can use it as your first meal.

Hi Martina, Would this make a good post-cardio workout drink? I have been doing keto for 5 weeks now. I haven't got any more weight to lose, but love all the benefits of keto so far...I do cardio for about 25-30 mins 5 times a week. I would usually have a protein shake (22g of protein, 2.2g carbs) with 250ml unsweetened almond milk. I am thinking of replacing this with your keto coffee, to increase the fat and decrease the protein...what do you think? Many thanks in advance for your advice.

Hi Helen, I think it's better to get something with more protein and maybe some carbs. I'd avoid too much fat after exercising. Fat is generally good for you, however, if you eat it after exercise, it may impair nutrient absorption and muscle recovery.

Thanks for this recipe Martina.  I love all the different iterations of fat-fueled coffees on the internet.
I wanted to add my take for those who cannot have caffeine and for those concerned about raw eggs.  First I have to agree with you that raw eggs are fine when they are high quality, but I understand the fear some may have.  I'm sorry if this reply is long...I just wanted to share another option for folks.
Since I cannot have caffeine (coffee or tea), I make a dandelion tea or medicinal mushroom [quote][i]tea[/quote]- both of these sort of resemble coffee. My recipe for the mushroom tea uses 2 tbsp chaga pieces (small chunks sort of the size of rice or lentils), 5-6 medium reishi slices, a small piece of rehmannia root, 1 tbsp or so of green stevia leaf (the dried herb), a 1/2 cinnamon stick or some chai spice & any other herbs I feel will complement these, all added to 2 litres of water). I put the 2 litres of water and all the herbs in a crockpot on low overnight (the mushrooms need some time to extract all the medicines from them). This way I have lots of tea to use for several elixirs.
Then I make a dairy-free "cream" of sorts modified from this recipe: http://healingnaturallybybee.com/fake-cream/.  I modify it by not always adding the stevia, using hot almond milk in place of the water and only using egg yolks (my preference as I don't digest whites as well and I find when this recipe is warmed or cooked I can taste the egg white - but I am a super taster so each to their own here). I also play around with the quantities of egg and butter to suit my taste and have also used cacao butter and ghee in place of butter and its been good. I also don't add the ice cubes as I make a large amount (usually a double-batch) and store it in the fridge or freezer. NOTE: because of the gelatin in this, if you store it in the fridge, it will gel on you - don't worry, when its heated it will go back to a liquid state.
Once I've made these two things, I then take out a big pot and put into it about 2-3 cups of tea, 1-2 cups of this cream and a litre or so of half-almond milk, half coconut milk, along with some sugar-free chocolate, cocoa (or cocoa and cacao butter), sweetener, spices (like chai spice), flavorings like vanilla or caramel, salt (I always add a little salt to most sweets, it balances the flavor)...basically anything you think will be good in a [quote]mocha[/quote]type drink (I even put small amounts of maca and other medicinal mushroom powders to up the nutritional value - but just a little, to avoid bitterness).  I usually whisk this all on low, just until everything is nice and warm, creamy and mixed.  This makes a large amount that I can drink throughout the week and also "cooks" the egg yolk, though I have never had chunks of egg yolk because it has been blended ahead of time in making the [quote]cream[/quote].
I also make a version without chocolate using pumpkin, a little turmeric and spices to make a sort of [quote]pumpkin latte[/quote].
Anything I don't use up, extra cream or tea etc. I just freeze in ice cube trays or muffin tins to use for another time.
If someone wanted to use this cream with coffee they could likely still make it ahead of time and just "blend" it into their coffee from a cold state (I wouldn't whisk it as it may be chunky from the gelatin if not using the hydolysed stuff).
Cheers.

Thank you for your insights Melissa! I love dandelion "coffee" and anything turmeric. Will have to give the mushroom powder a try!

I either have a
milky style = coffee shot, cream, coconut milk, organic virgin coconut oil blended or
expresso = shot coffee 1 teaspoon of coconut oil, 1 teaspoon cream
Enjoy both styles
I'm still on the hunt for grass fed organic butter

I love the sound of both! 😊

just found out coffee shop close to my work sells a sure shot coffee ordered one today was good as I didn't make one this morning their version 2 shots of expresso, butter, coconut oil

I noticed that there are quite a few places making "butter coffee" where I live too 😊

Jason 9 years ago # Reply

Hi can someone please help as I just can't find a definitive answer. I have planned out my diet but just need to make sure what I'm doing is ok and will actually allow me in to ketosis. The plan is :
7am ish - Breakfast ; Keto/BP Coffee
10/10.30 - whey protein shake (1g net carb per 100g)
12/12.30 - Keto/BP Coffee
5pm onwards keto diet foods, protein meats etc, veg maintaining 20 net carbs max (initially)
I have probably a minimum of 60 pound to shift, I'm 5'8 and weigh 250 pound plus. Cheers J

Hi Jason, it depends if you manage to get all your nutrients at / after 5 pm. BPC and whey protein will ensure enough protein and fat but you may not be getting enough micronutrients - you may want to add supplements if that's the case.

2 questions : Do you use hot coffee? And is this a hot drink? i.e. Will it still be hot after blending with the other ingredients ? Or do you drink it over ice? Room temp?

Yes, I use hot coffee but the drink is not that a hot - all the other ingredients cool it down so it's just warm. And yes, I think it will work with ice too but you will need to let it chill a bit. I actually drank it cold once because I couldn't finish it and kept half of it in the fridge 😊

Do you have an alternative recipe for those who don't drink coffee? Could it be made with tea? Thanks

Hi Sarah, I think you can use black tea instead. Or you can make hot cocoa (coconut milk, coconut oil, butter, cocoa powder, etc.)

Whoops forgot to add in the fatty green drink that if ur using the sour citrus juice, to add 1t-1T cinnamon also. I use ceylon cinnamon as it's the one used in the studies and it has great depth of flavor. It's like having nutmeg and cloves and allspice with ur cinnamon!

Thanks!

You have ur book in kindle format too...will you PLEASE make ur app for kindle too? pretty pls?
I would love to buy it.

Hi Helene, you mean android tablet? We have been working on bringing KetoDiet to all platforms (including Windows mobile, desktop PC, Android) this year! I'll keep you updated on the blog / my FB page 😊

I make a fatty green drink that mite be of use to those avoiding coffee or tea.
2 cups water OR 1/3 cup canned coconut milk and 1 2/3c water
2 shakes of salt (cuts the bitterness of the greens a little)
1/2 tsp vanilla
1/4 tsp stevia glycerite or to taste
2 tsp cocoa powder OR 1/2 lemon or lime, reamed
Fill blender rest of way with greens---kale, spinach, chard, boychoy beet greens, turnip greens or a mix or I use 1/2 a bunch of parsley and some spinach. I would guess I use 5 cups kale.
Blend for up to 3 min for kale, other greens don't take as long to liquify. Then add:
3 eggs
2-3tbsp fat of choice: cream, coconut oil, butter (I use cream unless it's warm enough to use coconut oil)
Blend a few seconds to incorporate all and add:
6 ice cubes
Blend till ice is crushed.
Drink up! You will never know the eggs are in there. Promise 😊
I have added 2T flaxseeds, ground, to it but you have to keep stirring it as you drink it. Again, you don't taste them.
THIS MAKES A LOT OF GREEN DRINK. You don't just slam this, it's a meal!

Thanks so much for sharing your keto-friendly drink Helene!

How do I prevent the eggs from cooking. As I want to drink hot coffee

Hi Halima, if you prefer to drink it really hot, you'll have to reheat it in a water bath. Adding eggs following this recipe will cool the coffee down but the eggs won't cook. If you reheat the coffee in a pot or microwave, the eggs may scramble. To make "hot" coffee, pour the coffee in a heat-resistant bowl and place on top of a pot with boiling water (make sure the water doesn't touch the bowl). Stir until the coffee is hot - it will slightly thicken but the eggs won't scramble.

Hi Silvia, yes we do. We have more plans for even more platforms in 2015 😊

Wendy 10 years ago # Reply

Can we add the hot coffee to the egg yolks first and whisk fast so it doesn't scramble but hot enough to cook the yolk a little so it would be safer to eat? after doing that then add everything in a blender to mix?? 😊 Just thinking because I'm a little skeptical about the raw egg yolks…. Lol I will try it aether way, I think my husband will love this.

Hi Wendy, although I haven't tried that, I think it should work. If you blend it, it shouldn't have any pieces left anyway 😊 Hope you both enjoy it!

Hi Martina,
First-Thank you for such an excellent resource. I'm looking forward to your products becoming available for Android users.
My question-Do you have an article about Intermittent Fasting? I did a search and could not find one.
Thanks for your help!

Thank you for your kind words! I don't have anything detailed about IF on my blog yet but I have it in my todo list as one of the posts for the end of this month or beginning of next month. I will, however, post a guide on the Fat Fast very soon. It's done and waiting in the queue to be posted 😊

I'm allergic to egg, what else could one use instead of the egg yolks?

Hi Annette, I think I would just skip the egg. In some recipes, you can use ground chia seeds instead of eggs but I wouldn't recommend it in this one.

How do you arrive at the totals for the following? potassium 407 mg and magnesium 211 mg.  I calculated all the ingredients and I only come up with 86 mg of potassium and 20 mg magnesium using the following ingredients:
1 cup brewed coffee
coconut oil 1 tbsp 13g
Organic Ghee Clarified Butter  1 tbsp  15g
1 tbsp of gelatin, hydrolysed   1 tbsp  7g
heavy cream  2 tbs  30g    Potassium = 22.3 mg Magnesium = 2.1 mg
egg yolk  3-large  51g    Potassium = 57 mg   Magnesium = 18 mg
½ tsp cinnamon  1/2 tsp  1.3g   Potassium = 5.5mg

Hi Josefina, thank you for notifying me. I thought it was wrong but then I searched again (using the USDA database) and I got to the same result. I can see that the most of it comes from coffee which could vary (~ 270 mg of potassium per cup of espresso). I guess this depends on the coffee you use. The USDA database is supposed to be very accurate - unfortunately, they are completely wrong when it comes to food guidelines / food pyramid.

Of course, it's important to note that the caffeine in the coffee leaches magnesium out of the body, so while there may be 211 mg going in, some is coming back out due to the caffeine.

Very good point, Sue! Too much caffeine can lead to magnesium deficiency.

This might be a silly question but do I have to make this fresh every time or could it be some sort of iced coffee that I keep in the fridge for a couple of days at a time?

Hi Marcela, it's not a silly question at all! I would say it will be ok up to about 3 days (careful with raw eggs), but I'm not sure about the taste. How about you make the mixture in advance without the egg yolks and add them just before you drink it? It will create a nice foam and takes almost no time to prepare 😊

I tried this one out and it was great, didn't taste the eggs or anything as I had expected at first. I added 1 table spoon of raw cacao powder which gave it more of a mocha taste which was absolutely delicious. However, can I store this one in the fridge and drink for next morning or will some of the nutrients be destroyed by such low temperatures?

I love mocha! 😊 The nutrients won't be destroyed but I'm not sure about the taste and consistency. You may need to blend it again when you take it from the fridge.

Great, thank you! 😄 I will try with whole eggs and see how it goes! Another question I have is whether it's possible to do this recipe with raw cocoa powder so it becomes a kind of a hot chocolate? I know cocoa powder has so many benefits and is a real superfood, so I really wanna use that when I can! But I've heard you can't use higher temperature than 42 C when using it so the nutrients won't get ruined (this probably applies to the eggs as well so they don't get cooked?), so I was wondering what is your suggestion for doing this recipe with cocoa powder and controlling the temperature? Do you use boiling water or very hot or medium heat?

I think some nutrients are always "destroyed" when you use high temperature (this applies to almost all foods) but I wouldn't worry about it so much. If you use cocoa in baking, it's almost always at high temperatures. When it comes to eggs, there are actually nutrients that are more bioavailable when the eggs are cooked. Other foods that are better when cooked are e.g. carrots. I love the idea of making "keto mocha coffee" and I will try it when making the it next time. Thanks!😊

Rita, i have this coffee without the cinnamon and add 1 tsp of 100% cocoa powder. Its a lovely creamy mocha taste, and keeps me going for hours on end. I put the following in-
350ml strong coffee
50grms unsalted Irish butter
2 tbsp Mct oil
2 whole eggs
1 tsp 100% cocoa
Liquid stevia to taste

Thank you for a great recipe, I really wanna try this one out as I don't like eating early in the morning! I was just wondering though if I could use whole eggs instead of only egg yolks? Feel so bad for throwng the egg whites! Also, do I have to use the "creamy" part of the coconut milk or can I also use the runny part of it? Thank you again! 😄

Hi Rita, I haven't tried it with whole eggs but I have a link in this post and one of those 3 recipes uses whole eggs, so I think it would work. When it comes to coconut milk, I use Aroy-D which is a brand that never "creams" - it contains no guar gum and tastes absolutely delicious. If I was to use other brand that "creams" in the fridge, I would probably shake it to get both the runny and the creamy part 😊

This sounds delicious! I'm allergic to coconut oil, can you suggest a substitute?

Thank you Lynda! Yes, you can try just butter or ghee instead - they also contain some MCTs 😊

Is there a drop down menu in the app planner for all the recipes you post? I am trying to simply add keto coffee to my planner and I am not seeing it. Do I have to manually enter egg yolks, coconut oil, etc?
Thanks
Vee

Hi Gee,
Apart from recipes that are not mine (guest posts), all recipes can be added to the planner (apart from certain home-made ingredients like pumpkin puree that won't make sense to have them as meals).
This recipe is included in the app but you may not see in your recipes it, as it's in one of the additional recipe packages. I didn't think of this and I will put the "add it option" to this recipe, too.
Thanks,
Martina

Wow! I am not a breakfast person, BUT, I do have to have my coffee in the morning. Not to wake up, but more out of coffee, news, and quiet, before the house wakes up and goes into the normal rat race, Super mom day. This is not only delicious, but a great way to start my morning.

It's a staple low-carb breakfast meal in our house! 😊 I usually make it just with coconut oil, butter and coconut milk because I'm not that hungry in the morning. Even this keeps me sated until lunch. Sometimes, I'll add the egg yolks and gelatine but only when I'm hungry. I don't usually use any sweetener, because the coconut milk adds some sweetness.

marina, Is this recipe in the KetoDiet App? I was looking for it then realized I had seen it here. I make my tea like this but without the eggs. I may give this a try though. It would be a good way for my husband to start the day since he loves his coffee but doesn't like to eat breakfast. Jen

Yes, it is also in the app - I think it's in the "extra low-carb" package. I posted this recipe here before the 20 new recipes were added to the app after Christmas… just a little teaser 😊
I think leto coffee is either loved or hated - not everyone likes the idea or raw eggs in it. I thought it cannot be good before I actually tried it - so creamy! You can skip the eggs and the gelatine and just use coffee (or black tea) + coconut oil and butter + stevia and coconut milk - that's the way I drink it most days and never feel hungry until lunch.

Hi. Thanks for the recipe. Would you consider adding any ingredient suggested on your blog to your app? For example, this recipe calls for MCT oil, but it did not see that in the iPad app. Thanks.

Thank you, Sean! I'll keep adding new ingredients whenever there is a new update - I'll also include MCT oil. For now, you can use coconut oil if you create your own recipe. The nutritional values will be the same. The AppStore is now closed during Christmas, so the new update will be available in about 14 days.

Hi....I do IF and honestly have BPC every morning. I only added 1 egg yolk for fear it would interrupt the fasting but I stick with the coffee and liquid fats. I follow Craig from Ruleme.com and so far so good. Now that I think about it 1 egg yolk will have to do just in case! It's pretty decadent even without the egg yolk if you ask me. I don't typically want any food until well after 1:00 PM and do not eat after 8 PM. Let's see if I can go longer today with the yolk added. Definitely took longer to drink and felt fuller. 👍👌

Thanks for the awesome recipe. I do IF in the morning hence, don't eat before noon, but cannot do without my morning coffee 😞 is there anyway I could customize this recipe to less than 50 calories?

I think that won't be possible, unless you use just a teaspoon of fat (coconut oil or butter etc) or 1-2 tablespoons of coconut milk or 1 tablespoon of heavy whipping cream or 1 egg yolk (not all these at once).

So, I was a bit hesitant but tried it with all the ingredients but gelatine (didn't have the hydrolysed one). IT WAS AWESOME!! I didn't taste any egg or butter, it was just pure creamy heaven. I think I just found my favourite coffee recipe!

Thank you! I love using egg yolks, it makes it very creamy. Many people are just afraid to try it.

Emily 10 years ago # Reply

I didn't put the gelatine but it's amazing with the eggs. I prefer egg coffee a lot more to BP coffee. Thanks for sharing, can't wait for the update!

Thank you! It will be out in about 2-3 weeks 😊
