Adrienne Sidoti MCT oil is great. You can sub it out with coconut oil which has MCT. I wanted to give different variations for different instances. I love my MCT but I’ve already done a basic video on Keto coffee that has close to a million views. That’s the basic MCT based version. Go ahead and sub ghee for MCT in any of these. Hard part with MCT is the rapid absorption isn’t great for meal replacement.
I am confused also because MCT is perfect in the mornings to get my days going and Thomas has stated it is better than ghee..but also he is giving different recipes for different things so makes sense
Beauty And The Vape Yup, understand the confusion. It can be hard because I create so many videos it can be odd to come in and not see MCT. Don’t worry y’all! I got your backs! Your MCT is still BOMB and good to go!
Thomas DeLauer never had a bowel problem with MCT C8 oil...guess everyone is different....too much cooked rendered fat from meat....different story...guess I’ve never had “too much” MCT to hit my threshold....thank goodness lol

Hey Thomas!! Greetings from Central Florida. Just a bit of information for you to share and maybe warn some folks. I am on a health journey and have lost 70 lbs since this time last year. I started Keto in Aug 2018 and am excited. All is working well, putting on muscle and losing fat. I do have a higher cholesterol result than this time(240) last year (205) and it can only be from the 1 tbsp of whipping cream I use in my coffee everyday with mct oil and/or the 3 eggs with yolk I eat twice a week(6) with shredded cheese. I have eliminated the 3 items from my menu(switched to egg whites only). Just wanted to give those that it may affect a heads up. Feeling great! Doc also found trace amount of ketones 🤗 in my urine. Thanks for all you do, really!! Mike.
THANK YOU 🙏🏼 I’m an anti inflammatory eater and I love science. Best channel out here. I keep coffee in my dietary intake because of the elongating telomere properties. I started drinking it black 2 years ago. These drinks right here, are gems to my coffee enjoyment. Wish I could give 1,000 likes FR 👊🏼🤓
If you like FUN COFFEE. Nut butters are good in coffee, this can either replace or compliment regular butter. I use peanut butter and almond milk though for iced coffee. Marshmallow root powder makes coffee thick and frothy and it helps with mucus and digestion and basically cures common cold. Ghirardelli Dutch process chocolate powder is zero net carbs that tastes great with peanut or nut butters. Swerve and Stevia drops together to sweeten...actually the raspberry tastes really good with this concoction.
meghan butler now this was really kind of you to do. Wow touched my heart. I was gonna say say to put the closed caption on to read the words and get the recipe, but you took it above and beyond. Great job
My latte recipe: double shot of coffee (50/50), most creamy organic full cream milk I can buy, add about 30% pure cream. Make it with a nice little layer of foam in a nice coffee glass. No sweetener of any sort (any sweetener in any coffee is a cardinal sin), just enjoy the natural sweetness of proper milk.
*It's wonderful to have a variety of keto-friendly coffee recipes to satisfy our caffeine cravings while staying low-carb. Thank you for sharing this amazing resource!*
WOW‼️ Thank you so much. You gave me good reasons to go ahead and buy the ghee. The variety here is important to my very life and happiness. I wasn’t really a coffee drinker, mainly I would drink it on a cold winter morning or cold rainy day. But in my Ketogenic Diet with Intermittent Fasting, coffee has proved important to go forward with some satisfaction. Lol, seriously. 06/01/21 i began better diet. 3 weeks later my Dr gave me the news my A1C was 8.5. I found you ,Thomas, Dr Berg, Dr Fung, Dr. Hyman, & Dr Hallberg. And I jumped into Keto w/IF with a passion & focus, (I like my toes & eyesight). Now, as of 10/13/21 my A1C is 6.4. everything shows improvement. I’m not out of danger yet, but I’m going forward to kick Diabetes Butt‼️ You have made a world of good difference in my Life, Thomas, thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you.‼️♥️💋👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽🎃
How much Macha Tea? Also, I have gone to the website you recommend for Macha Tea. SOOOO many different kinds. Can you do a video on Macha Tea and the benefits of each one?
i have real guts trouble when i eat high carb, like sometimes diarhea after a too high carb meal, but on high fat / protein i don't have this problem, maybe it's because i tried keto for some time and now i am back on carb to see if there is a real difference, i guess i should go back on keto
YAY coffee time!!! I love a pinch of Cinnamon in mine, my children love the latte with turmeric/curcuma and cardamom! yum, thanks. How about a video on SLEEP, mentioning pillows if any, and POSTURE. ?
My go to in the morning before a workout is Ghee, MCT oil, coconut oil, chaga, cordyceps, sea salt. No sweetener and allows me to feel better on an 18 / 6 fast.
Thank you for the video dear. I have a cup of Keto coffee every morning but not in these variations. Its always good to have many options on the table so I cannot wait to try them and to share this video. Liking this vid too.
I’ve been drinking bombproof matcha this week instead of coffee for a cleaner energy boost to break my fast. I use warm almond milk, a Tbsp of matcha powder, and a Tbsp each of coconut oil and ghee. I hand mix it until it becomes frothy. The fats somehow don’t separate when in matcha unlike coffee if not electrically blended. It’s amazing, but it cuts my hunger to nearly non existent so I’ve been having issues hitting my calories for the day.
Thomas DeLauer you are the very first channel I turned a bell on...for the longest time I didn’t even know where the bell was...lmao Thanks for all you do! (Like reminding us to click the bell...lol)
I was very close to throw up with butter in coffee which I was once given. (...taste once and you never ever want to do it again) But the I tried coconut oil (1 table spoonfull) and it was great! Cocnut oil is absolutely neutral. Then I added cinnamon and it was again quite horrible. Next test is to try coconut oil cacao in 0 sugar soy drink. I have found that 0% sugar soy drink is very good for almost everything. One particular context is soy drink omelette where omelette starts to taste like crêpes. Amazing and real result!
Thank U Thomas, since I learned about & drink BP coffee, I have been experimenting utilising ghee, nutmeg, or cinnamon spices, not together but when I intuitively want them. I prefer ghee now rather than kerrygold butter, or the Aussie organic butter, I use them for my home made ghee. I love my caffé at 0500, with avocado cacao mousse for brekkie. I have cut back on dairy products to see if there is a change in metabolism and body at 64. Lost 16-20kgs on keto eating. Love it, huhmmm yess
Oh I forgot to mention that I add a tblspn of mct oil to my coffee, gets my motor running, heading out on the highway, born to be alive and wild, -active focused mind. Cheers mate!
I knew i wasn't crazy I thought to put the salt in my morning coffee instead of the water to get the electrolyte replacement. Thanks for sharing. I love this video
This is really interesting!! Every morning my wife and I make coffee with a tbsp ghee and a tbsp XCT oil, should we start replacing that coffee with your morning recipe?
My 5.30am morning drink recipe is; 1/4 teaspoon Matcha Tea Powder (cheap $8AU/100g from the supermarket), 20mls lemon juice (to activate the matcha), 1 heap teaspoon Turmeric powder, 1 heap teaspoon ginger paste (couldn't find ginger juice), 30g Musashi Shred & Burn Protien Powder & 30g Rapid Loss (cheap appetite suppressor). Then do my 2 hour workout at the gym. Followed by my 8am Long Machiato (3 shot coffee, 1 sugar).
Thank you for the video Thomas. I would love it if I can get a transcript of this video. Or if someone could write up the recipes for me. I've had a brain injury and I find it extremely difficult to follow videos...
@@dyahviona I read the video description but it doesn't outline the recipes. Just introductions to the recipes. Thanks for your help though, I appreciate it.💋
Thank you so much@@dyahviona !! You're the best! I'm attempting 16/8 fasting and the drinks will come in very handy. I wish you all the best for the future.x
I do Keto and IF and am having 2 meals per day, one of them being bulletproof coffee: Coffee, Collagen, MCT Oil, Butter, Heavy Cream, Cacao and Cinnamon. It's something i look forward to every single day. Give it a try, it's delicious
[" Recipe helpful, thanks. It's confusing with the tsp whether it represents a tablespoon vs teaspoon. So we have learned when it's a tablespoon to write it with a capital TBS, and teaspoon as tsp."]
[" Thanks for posting the recipe, we find it confusing with tsp since Thomas mentioned tablespoons and teaspoons of products in most if the recipes and learned awhile back best to write for a tablespoon all cap letters "TBS" and for a teaspoon "tsp. Choosing this helps."]
I got out my “Works” Keto coffee. Had it this morning. I will finish what I have but I’m more a tea drinker. I have been doing pumpkin spice & coconut oil with ACV & turmeric together (without sweetness) just the coconut oil. 6oz tepid water to melt coconut oil & down the hatch. It’s odd because you can feel the warmth in my stomach (not hot just comfort warmth) I’m in Wisconsin so that will be great this winter!
Collagen falls apart at temperatures above body temperature, turning it into plain gelatin - yes, the stuff in Jell-O. At these higher temperatures - when added to hot coffee, for example - collagen's molecular structure melts, diminishing or even negating the desired health benefits..
I add cayenne into my keto coffee. It's a warrior's drink. Also salt and a little potassium chloride. I sweat a lot. Cocoa powder is fun too. Cinnamon. Luxurious. Def gonna try the turmeric.
Morning coffee consists of MCT oil, Cacao butter, cinnamon, pink salt, and organic honey, can't function without it, mine never comes out that frothy though wonder why?. Looks good I will try to add the turmeric.
I made and enjoyed these over months now, but not daily in order to reduce caffeine intake. As a variation, I started using organic pu erh and green tea combined, with ghee butter, coconut or MDT oil, chillie and cinnamon powder, a bit gentler on the guts and also delicious.
Picked up a can of coconut cream to try this, as I was about to spoon it in I caught the list of ingredients on the side. I think it had more sugar and chemicals than it did coconuts. Be careful what you buy!
The only brand of coconut cream that I buy is called Kara in a tetra pack (not a can), and it is 99.98% pure coconut cream. Oftentimes tinned coconut cream is mixed with water and thus has a lot of stabilizers and other crap to make it shelf stable. Kara is often available in Asian groceries and is quite international.
Listen he is SO RIGHT! I have DDD and OA... Degenerative Disc Disease and Osteoarthritis.... I bought ALL oils and fats I could find. I learned VERY quickly that the oils with Omega 6 will make you inflamed. So far Algae oil, Walnut oil are EPIC! Hemp is nice and pumpkin seed oil too. But when I stopped the ones with more omega 6 I felt more pain and sciatic nerve inflammation. The type of fat matters even if it is healthy it can hurt you depending on your unique body chemistry. Mmmmm that Matcha sounds amazing!
Wow Algae oil! Hemp and pumpkin seed oil??? Your comment opened my eyes! I have inflammation in my right knee so I’m soaking up all this new information. Quick question, what do you mean when you say fats can hurt you causing inflammation, how does that work? I’m interested in understanding this
I tried ghee butter and it was okay and then I got another ghee butter brand and it was awful. Still sitting in my fridge unused. Might as well throw it out. I just use plain old salted butter, coconut oil, MCT oil, flavored stevia drops and sometimes cacao powder and peanut butter for a yummy mocha!
As a Barista that does Keto I find this really interesting. At my shop we don’t have heavy cream and someone was really upset because she said we had nothing “Keto friendly”, and I was like. “...you do know black coffee is Keto, right?”. I personally just drink black coffee and I usually save my calories for a proper meal.
*Morning keto coffe:* (inflammation) 10-12oz of coffee 1 TbSp of ghee butter 1 TbSp of coconut cream Dash of turmeric 4 to 6 drops of stevia or monk fruit Some drops of Himalayan pink salt or fleur de sel( Himalayan salt have some toxic things hiding, if we accumulate that over our lifes we might be intoxicated and die) *lunch-replacement keto-coffe:* (some proteins) 10-12oz of decaf coffee 2 TbSp of grass feed butter 2 TbSp of collagen peptides 0,25 to 0,5 TbSp of cinnamon 4 to 6 drops of stevia or monk fruit(not necessary) *calorie-bomb keto-coffe:* (2 times a week) 10-12oz of coffee 1 TbSp of ghee butter 2 TbSp of grass feed butter 1 TbSp of unsweetened baking cocoa (pure cacao) 2 TbSp of heavy whipping cream 4 to 6 drops of stevia or monk fruit *Bulletproof coffee:* (craving issues/not heavy coffee) 8-10 oz of warm up almond milk 1 TbSp of ghee butter 1 TbSp of coconut cream 4 to 6 drops of stevia or monk fruit
My second time watching this !!! Wow wow great great tasting recipes. Huge thanks. Since ketoing I now love my coffee. These bump up the coffee drinking experiences. Many thanks Thomas😃
Oh great so I've been making my (20 oz) coffee all wrong... I put 1/4 tsp Himalayan salt, Cinnamon, 1 Tbs Heavy Whip, 2 Tbs Ghee (or Kerrygold) 1 Tbs SF Carmel Syrup, scoop of Collagen, 1 Tbs MCT Oil, & 1/2 tsp of Cacao powder... oh well... It tastes to legit to quit lol
Lisa Johnson Why is your recipe wrong? Well maybe the caramel syrup. I do a 20 oz coffee with vanilla flavored collagen powder, grass fed butter, cacao butter and a pinch of sea salt. I love it.
Tried one today. Coffee. Turmeric. Coconut cream. But use xylitol... Really not bad sure can get used to it. Second one i will try mct oil. Cacao powder.. Had to go out and buy everything never used this products
Thomas, I have been following the keto diet with IF for about a month and a half now. But I have a long upcoming Chrismas holiday I will mostly be with family and friends thus it will be impossible to stay in Ketosis (drinking, dinners and all that) should I still try to restrict carbs and stick to a high fat diet or will it not really have an effect if I'm not in Ketosis? and rather pickup where I left of after the holiday
Question. How you doing Keto coffee as above for fat but also stay true to IF? I miss yhis kind of coffe but I do fasting for 18 hours before first meal.
i have a brand new expired bottle of T-bomb i keep around for shits and giggle if you wanna buy it. when i used this i could lift 100lbs over my weight with ease.
love me some cacao. I have been brewing it like coffee. Course it is Crio Bru. Later I will be roasting cacao nibs and grinding to get the same effect.
I don't think there's nothing wrong with heavy whipping cream if you don't have any problem with lactose, so coconut milk/cream is a great sub for that.
@@celiselott okay, i was gonna ask the same question. i do heavy cream in my coffee once a day. I think i would like to try the ghee, tumeric (+black pepper) as well.
Just a note on cream, I found it shocking & appalling that almost all certified organic dairies in the US utilize ultra high heat pasteurization, or HUT method, which renders it not only a dead food, but also leaves most of the fats rancid. But it's shelf stable! 😀 It actually does not require refrigeration with high heat pasteurization. Europeans (& Aussies, I think) have been used to this for decades, but Americans could not get used to milk in a can on the shelf, so it's still stocked in refrigerated cases. It's worthless at best, and most likely potentially harmful. You are actually better off buying non-organic dairy than that paltry excuse. If you do not have access to raw dairy in your state/area, research the local small dairy farms. Reach out to them and find out what their livestock feed is (obviously, avoid grain fed or finished, all grass-fed/pastured is best), if they do whole herd innocculation & what the policy is on vaccinations AND antibiotics, and what type of past urination they employ. Low & slow will preserve the most nutritional value, but just avoid ANY dairy that is flash/high-heat/ultra-pasteurized. You can probably find a local farm that employs good practices, treats his/her animals kindly and does not feed them poison or inject it routinely into their bodies, and has a generally good product available in your local hippie store. It just requires a little effort on your part to locate them. When you do, reach out & establish a relationship with them! Let them know how happy you are to have a "clean" dairy nearby, & encourage them to continue the good practices, & share the information so others in your area & network can make better informed choices. ☺
@@ms.hawkins7919 Or one of us can just open up a coffee shop. I already plan on opening up a grocery store that strictly caters to Keto, Paleo, Akins, Low Carb and Vegan. Hopefully a restaurant as well, but of course this is all wishful thinking. Got to get out the military first and us California Highway Patrol to come up with a lot of extra money. That and stocks.
Hi Thomas! Thank you for sharing this incredibly helpful recipes. I have some questions if you could answer them: - How much of caffeine is to much for the Keto diet ? could it prevents the production of the ketones ? - Is using the Stevia sweetener safe ? doesn't mean we're adding sugar ? - You added the cacao powder only in the treat recipe, does this mean that I can't have it in my daily coffee ? - What's the difference between using the ghee and the butter and their effect on the Keto diet? Thank you again for your help and keep up the good content.
Question, you kept saying coconut cream but the can says coconut milk...which one is it? Just asking because there is a difference...coconut cream is thicker and sweeter than the coconut milk.
Yes. There is a diff. Fat content is the diff. So some coconut milk will actually be more like coconut cream. I usually look for 14-20g fat per 1/5 of a can serving as my justification as “cream.” Hope this helps!
I like the coconut cream and some GFB in am... I make ahead in icecube trays so in am I can just put one in the blender.. easy, no mess... I would rather eat a hard boiled egg for protein vs drinking it.. I add protein into my chi pudding for later in the day and blueberries.. but in blender and place in small containers for a mid day treat if you need something to hold you over to your main meal... BTW I did add cocoa to the am coffee.. amazing.. and so full
No MCT oil in any? Ugh. I'm so confused.
But thank you always!!

Put some almond extract with the coconut cream and a bit of cocoa powder and it's like an almond joy latte. Super yummy.

I put 2 tbsp of heavy whipping cream in every coffee, about 5 a day. Both leaded and decaf. Is that bad?
Great! I never saw powdered ghee! I will replace my heavy cream now for coconut cream! Thank you
Woo!
YAY coffee time!!! I love a pinch of Cinnamon in mine, my children love the latte with turmeric/curcuma and cardamom! yum, thanks. How about a video on SLEEP, mentioning pillows if any, and POSTURE. ?
That's a good idea!
the last one is what I do every day lol. 2tbs butter, 4 tbsp cream, 1 tbsp mct. Sometimes add cacao butter (I prefer over powder in coffee)
the matcha i would add cacao and mint .
I was thinking same!
My go to in the morning before a workout is Ghee, MCT oil, coconut oil, chaga, cordyceps, sea salt. No sweetener and allows me to feel better on an 18 / 6 fast.
Thank you for the video dear. I have a cup of Keto coffee every morning but not in these variations. Its always good to have many options on the table so I cannot wait to try them and to share this video. Liking this vid too.
The wandasncredible Channel thank ya!
I’ve been drinking bombproof matcha this week instead of coffee for a cleaner energy boost to break my fast. I use warm almond milk, a Tbsp of matcha powder, and a Tbsp each of coconut oil and ghee. I hand mix it until it becomes frothy. The fats somehow don’t separate when in matcha unlike coffee if not electrically blended. It’s amazing, but it cuts my hunger to nearly non existent so I’ve been having issues hitting my calories for the day.
Mireille Soto I don’t drink it during my fast. I don’t eat or drink anything except for water during a fast actually. Thank you for the tip though! 😊
Thank you Thomas. You're amazing. That's why I have my notifications on.
sslilac thanks for keeping notifications on!
Thomas DeLauer you are the very first channel I turned a bell on...for the longest time I didn’t even know where the bell was...lmao
Thanks for all you do!
(Like reminding us to click the bell...lol)
I was very close to throw up with butter in coffee which I was once given. (...taste once and you never ever want to do it again)
But the I tried coconut oil (1 table spoonfull) and it was great! Cocnut oil is absolutely neutral. Then I added cinnamon and it was again quite horrible.
Next test is to try coconut oil cacao in 0 sugar soy drink.
I have found that 0% sugar soy drink is very good for almost everything. One particular context is soy drink omelette where omelette starts to taste like crêpes.
Amazing and real result!
Love this! Can you make a keto smoothie recipe video plz?
Thank U Thomas, since I learned about & drink BP coffee, I have been experimenting utilising ghee, nutmeg, or cinnamon spices, not together but when I intuitively want them. I prefer ghee now rather than kerrygold butter, or the Aussie organic butter, I use them for my home made ghee. I love my caffé at 0500, with avocado cacao mousse for brekkie. I have cut back on dairy products to see if there is a change in metabolism and body at 64. Lost 16-20kgs on keto eating. Love it, huhmmm yess
Oh I forgot to mention that I add a tblspn of mct oil to my coffee, gets my motor running, heading out on the highway, born to be alive and wild, -active focused mind. Cheers mate!
LOVE this! Thanks AGAIN for keeping our bulletproofs fun, varied, and situation appropriate!
Thank YOU
I love to add a pinch of cayenne to all my coffee especially the morning one. Really brings out the flavor.
You ever try a chaga mushroom coffee replacement bullet? I think it could add to your variety and have different benefits.
Chaga is good!
I knew i wasn't crazy I thought to put the salt in my morning coffee instead of the water to get the electrolyte replacement. Thanks for sharing. I love this video
thanks Thomas for your vlog more learning from you....watching here in Kuwait
Yes Thomas cinnamon is great. It mimics insulin and lowers blood sugar which I love
This is really interesting!! Every morning my wife and I make coffee with a tbsp ghee and a tbsp XCT oil, should we start replacing that coffee with your morning recipe?
Doesn't hurt to mix it up!
I am so used to black coffee I'm not sure if I'm going to like this but lets give it a try
I knew it! Human can live by keto coffee alone!
My 5.30am morning drink recipe is; 1/4 teaspoon Matcha Tea Powder (cheap $8AU/100g from the supermarket), 20mls lemon juice (to activate the matcha), 1 heap teaspoon Turmeric powder, 1 heap teaspoon ginger paste (couldn't find ginger juice), 30g Musashi Shred & Burn Protien Powder & 30g Rapid Loss (cheap appetite suppressor). Then do my 2 hour workout at the gym. Followed by my 8am Long Machiato (3 shot coffee, 1 sugar).
Thank you for the video Thomas. I would love it if I can get a transcript of this video. Or if someone could write up the recipes for me. I've had a brain injury and I find it extremely difficult to follow videos...
Check out his description bar, he usually puts his complete script there
@@dyahviona I read the video description but it doesn't outline the recipes. Just introductions to the recipes. Thanks for your help though, I appreciate it.💋
@@zizia9060 oh I didn't realize that.
Here you go, the simplest version of the recipe:
1. Morning anti-inflammatory coffee: 10-12 oz of coffee, 1 tsp ghee, 1 tbsp coconut cream, a dash of turmeric powder, pink salt, stevia/monkfruit.
2. Lunch replacement coffee: 10-12 oz decaf coffee, 2 tbsp grassfed butter, 2 tbsp collagen peptides, 1/4 cinnamon powder (or pumpkin pie spice), stevia.
3. Treat/fat bomb coffee: coffee, 3 tbsp grassfed butter, 1 tsp ghee, 3 tbsp heavy whip cream, 1 tbsp unsweetened baking cocoa, stevia.
4. Bulletproof matcha craving killer: 8-10 oz warm almond milk, 1 tsp ghee, 1 tbsp coconut cream, stevia.
Thank you so much@@dyahviona !! You're the best! I'm attempting 16/8 fasting and the drinks will come in very handy. I wish you all the best for the future.x
@@zizia9060 thanks :) and good luck with the journey towards 18/6. I'm now doing it and feels so good plus saves you a lot of time
The addition of black pepper powder when using turmeric enhances the benefit of the inherent curcumin.
How much Matcha Tea did you use?
Serving size
How Matcha Tea did you use?***
I do Keto and IF and am having 2 meals per day, one of them being bulletproof coffee: Coffee, Collagen, MCT Oil, Butter, Heavy Cream, Cacao and Cinnamon. It's something i look forward to every single day. Give it a try, it's delicious
Are you still doing keto? I'm curious if you were able to stick with it after so long?
Thanks for the video , it very informative . What blender are you using .? Please
Magic bullet
@@BreakdaHouseDwnBootz Yep!
What I do is: small decaf coffee, some unsweetened vanilla almond milk, and depending on how I feel I might at grain Swerve
What about adding Maca Root powder to my morning BC? I just purchased some but have yet to use it. Thought about adding it to my BC.
That would be good!
Breakfast
Coffee 10-12 oz
Ghee 1ts
Coconut cream 1 ts
Turmeric (optional)
Stevia 5 drops
Salts ( just a pinch i guess)
Lunch
Decaf coffee 10-12oz
Grass-fed butter 2ts
Collagen peptides 1ts
Cinnamon 1/4ts
[" Recipe helpful, thanks. It's confusing with the tsp whether it represents a tablespoon vs teaspoon. So we have learned when it's a tablespoon to write it with a capital TBS, and teaspoon as tsp."]
[" Thanks for posting the recipe, we find it confusing with tsp since Thomas mentioned tablespoons and teaspoons of products in most if the recipes and learned awhile back best to write for a tablespoon all cap letters "TBS" and for a teaspoon "tsp. Choosing this helps."]
Thank you Thomas DeLauer, they look delicious and beneficial. I can't wait to try them, but first I need to go buy the necessary ingredients... ☺.
Go get 'em
I love my coffee with ghee and coconut oil...It tastes awesome.No sweetener is required.
Well .. I think it's better than the "Real" coffee .. God bless you Thomas
No sweetener needed though.
I got out my “Works” Keto coffee. Had it this morning. I will finish what I have but I’m more a tea drinker. I have been doing pumpkin spice & coconut oil with ACV & turmeric together (without sweetness) just the coconut oil. 6oz tepid water to melt coconut oil & down the hatch. It’s odd because you can feel the warmth in my stomach (not hot just comfort warmth) I’m in Wisconsin so that will be great this winter!
On fourth coffee how much matcha can we use?
I would like to know as well.
I did one recommended serving size based on my bag of matcha which was one teaspoon and it turned out great.
@@kyleh1919 Thomas responded this questions on a video some days ago and he said the you did. Thanks pall!
Mine says 1/2 so I go with that
Collagen falls apart at temperatures above body temperature, turning it into plain gelatin - yes, the stuff in Jell-O. At these higher temperatures - when added to hot coffee, for example - collagen's molecular structure melts, diminishing or even negating the desired health benefits..
I use heavy whipping cream daily, is this what I'm doing wrong with my keto diet? If so, why?
I add cayenne into my keto coffee. It's a warrior's drink. Also salt and a little potassium chloride. I sweat a lot. Cocoa powder is fun too. Cinnamon. Luxurious. Def gonna try the turmeric.
Can we take a minute to appreciate him dropping that 12 mile word at 9:25 like it was nothing 😵😵🤯🤯😅😅
Reading through the comments and see a bass head god lmao
Morning coffee consists of MCT oil, Cacao butter, cinnamon, pink salt, and organic honey, can't function without it, mine never comes out that frothy though wonder why?. Looks good I will try to add the turmeric.
I have the coffee figured out, but how do I get arms like yours?
I made and enjoyed these over months now, but not daily in order to reduce caffeine intake. As a variation, I started using organic pu erh and green tea combined, with ghee butter, coconut or MDT oil, chillie and cinnamon powder, a bit gentler on the guts and also delicious.
Picked up a can of coconut cream to try this, as I was about to spoon it in I caught the list of ingredients on the side. I think it had more sugar and chemicals than it did coconuts. Be careful what you buy!
That's cream of coconut real coconut cream is just coconut and maybe potassium ascorbate
The only brand of coconut cream that I buy is called Kara in a tetra pack (not a can), and it is 99.98% pure coconut cream. Oftentimes tinned coconut cream is mixed with water and thus has a lot of stabilizers and other crap to make it shelf stable. Kara is often available in Asian groceries and is quite international.
If you enjoy a simple hot coffee, I recommend decaf coffee with unsweetened vanilla almond milk and granular Swerve (erythritol)
You can also use heavy whipping cream but it’s a bit thicker and some brands contain lots of carbs and sugars.
Can I substitute Coconut oil for the butter and/or ghee in your recipes?
You most definitely can
Listen he is SO RIGHT! I have DDD and OA... Degenerative Disc Disease and Osteoarthritis.... I bought ALL oils and fats I could find. I learned VERY quickly that the oils with Omega 6 will make you inflamed. So far Algae oil, Walnut oil are EPIC! Hemp is nice and pumpkin seed oil too. But when I stopped the ones with more omega 6 I felt more pain and sciatic nerve inflammation. The type of fat matters even if it is healthy it can hurt you depending on your unique body chemistry.
Mmmmm that Matcha sounds amazing!
Wow Algae oil! Hemp and pumpkin seed oil??? Your comment opened my eyes! I have inflammation in my right knee so I’m soaking up all this new information.
Quick question, what do you mean when you say fats can hurt you causing inflammation, how does that work? I’m interested in understanding this
Is all Ghee butter created equal? What brand do you use in your video?
You can make your own. Just look up' making my own ghee' Its dead simple and smells delicious. Also cheaper by 1/2 the price.
@@ShipCreek gonna make my own after i run out of bulletproof overpriced ghee
I tried ghee butter and it was okay and then I got another ghee butter brand and it was awful. Still sitting in my fridge unused. Might as well throw it out. I just use plain old salted butter, coconut oil, MCT oil, flavored stevia drops and sometimes cacao powder and peanut butter for a yummy mocha!
Minus the dairy personally; but with the coconut cream, milk and/or oil these recipes sound delightful.
Thanks for showing different ways to make keto coffee!!!!!!
As a Barista that does Keto I find this really interesting. At my shop we don’t have heavy cream and someone was really upset because she said we had nothing “Keto friendly”, and I was like. “...you do know black coffee is Keto, right?”. I personally just drink black coffee and I usually save my calories for a proper meal.
Dude, youre a legend
Thanks!

My second time watching this !!! Wow wow great great tasting recipes. Huge thanks. Since ketoing I now love my coffee. These bump up the coffee drinking experiences. Many thanks Thomas😃
I will try the ghee this morning. I didn’t realize that grass fed butter can raise an inflammatory response. Nicely done video.
Oh great so I've been making my (20 oz) coffee all wrong... I put 1/4 tsp Himalayan salt, Cinnamon, 1 Tbs Heavy Whip, 2 Tbs Ghee (or Kerrygold) 1 Tbs SF Carmel Syrup, scoop of Collagen, 1 Tbs MCT Oil, & 1/2 tsp of Cacao powder... oh well... It tastes to legit to quit lol
Lisa Johnson Why is your recipe wrong? Well maybe the caramel syrup. I do a 20 oz coffee with vanilla flavored collagen powder, grass fed butter, cacao butter and a pinch of sea salt. I love it.
I dont think there is a wrong way to make it, all ingredients are beneficial
Tried one today. Coffee. Turmeric. Coconut cream. But use xylitol... Really not bad sure can get used to it. Second one i will try mct oil. Cacao powder.. Had to go out and buy everything never used this products
Thomas, I have been following the keto diet with IF for about a month and a half now. But I have a long upcoming Chrismas holiday I will mostly be with family and friends thus it will be impossible to stay in Ketosis (drinking, dinners and all that) should I still try to restrict carbs and stick to a high fat diet or will it not really have an effect if I'm not in Ketosis? and rather pickup where I left of after the holiday
Question. How you doing Keto coffee as above for fat but also stay true to IF? I miss yhis kind of coffe but I do fasting for 18 hours before first meal.
@@tc8404 I only do bulletproof coffee in my eating window, this coffee will break your fast so I don't do it in the morning
Cocoa butter is also good to add.
Caffeine does nothing for me.
I wish I could still get Ripped Fuel w/ Ma Hung.
That worked great.
i have a brand new expired bottle of T-bomb i keep around for shits and giggle if you wanna buy it. when i used this i could lift 100lbs over my weight with ease.
Remember Jacked-3D?
@@Los_Logos liked that stuff before they banned the good version
Keto coffee and keto matcha gets me excited for the mornings & a great start to my day!
Love your videos man keep going 💪
Hadi L_Nzzel until they make me stop!
love me some cacao. I have been brewing it like coffee. Course it is Crio Bru. Later I will be roasting cacao nibs and grinding to get the same effect.
What is wrong with heavy whipping cream. i thought it would be great for Keto?
I don't think there's nothing wrong with heavy whipping cream if you don't have any problem with lactose, so coconut milk/cream is a great sub for that.
I think too DeLauer has also mentioned wanting to avoid the hormones in cream.
@@celiselott okay, i was gonna ask the same question. i do heavy cream in my coffee once a day. I think i would like to try the ghee, tumeric (+black pepper) as well.
Just a note on cream, I found it shocking & appalling that almost all certified organic dairies in the US utilize ultra high heat pasteurization, or HUT method, which renders it not only a dead food, but also leaves most of the fats rancid. But it's shelf stable! 😀 It actually does not require refrigeration with high heat pasteurization. Europeans (& Aussies, I think) have been used to this for decades, but Americans could not get used to milk in a can on the shelf, so it's still stocked in refrigerated cases.
It's worthless at best, and most likely potentially harmful. You are actually better off buying non-organic dairy than that paltry excuse. If you do not have access to raw dairy in your state/area, research the local small dairy farms. Reach out to them and find out what their livestock feed is (obviously, avoid grain fed or finished, all grass-fed/pastured is best), if they do whole herd innocculation & what the policy is on vaccinations AND antibiotics, and what type of past urination they employ. Low & slow will preserve the most nutritional value, but just avoid ANY dairy that is flash/high-heat/ultra-pasteurized. You can probably find a local farm that employs good practices, treats his/her animals kindly and does not feed them poison or inject it routinely into their bodies, and has a generally good product available in your local hippie store. It just requires a little effort on your part to locate them. When you do, reach out & establish a relationship with them! Let them know how happy you are to have a "clean" dairy nearby, & encourage them to continue the good practices, & share the information so others in your area & network can make better informed choices. ☺
It's nice to have a variety of keto drinks..Im definitely trying the matcha tea
I wonder where the keto movement is heading if we're now starting to have dozens of different coffee recipes
Here in AK some of the coffee shacks offer bullet proof, and cbd lol
Come to Colorado..Lol it's the norm here to see that on the menu.@@KJ-nv9uz
Need to be headed to Starbucks lol
@@ms.hawkins7919
Or one of us can just open up a coffee shop. I already plan on opening up a grocery store that strictly caters to Keto, Paleo, Akins, Low Carb and Vegan. Hopefully a restaurant as well, but of course this is all wishful thinking. Got to get out the military first and us California Highway Patrol to come up with a lot of extra money. That and stocks.
Probably be a lot bigger.
Hi Thomas! Thank you for sharing this incredibly helpful recipes.
I have some questions if you could answer them:
- How much of caffeine is to much for the Keto diet ? could it prevents the production of the ketones ?
- Is using the Stevia sweetener safe ? doesn't mean we're adding sugar ?
- You added the cacao powder only in the treat recipe, does this mean that I can't have it in my daily coffee ?
- What's the difference between using the ghee and the butter and their effect on the Keto diet?
Thank you again for your help and keep up the good content.
Thank you for your video.. It's amazingly informative
Thanks for tuning in :)
the C8 MCT oil is my favorite for mornings...
Just signed on to all of this info earlier this week and BOY am I glad! Nice to find this community too. Thanks Thomas.
Question, you kept saying coconut cream but the can says coconut milk...which one is it? Just asking because there is a difference...coconut cream is thicker and sweeter than the coconut milk.
Yes. There is a diff. Fat content is the diff. So some coconut milk will actually be more like coconut cream.
I usually look for 14-20g fat per 1/5 of a can serving as my justification as “cream.”
Hope this helps!
If you refrigerate coconut milk, the cream will solidify at the top!
Bree Dean yup! Even air conditioned room will do this..totally annoys me...I have to wait till my coconut milk warms up before I can use it ..lol
Trader Joe's sells the canned Coconut Cream next to the canned Coconut milk. Has higher fat content
They make a sugar-free coconut cream
Last week, I was on snacks at work, I had my coworkers try different kinds of keto coffee. It was awesome.
9:12 is my drink💕💕💕😊
I like the coconut cream and some GFB in am... I make ahead in icecube trays so in am I can just put one in the blender.. easy, no mess... I would rather eat a hard boiled egg for protein vs drinking it.. I add protein into my chi pudding for later in the day and blueberries.. but in blender and place in small containers for a mid day treat if you need something to hold you over to your main meal... BTW I did add cocoa to the am coffee.. amazing.. and so full
