Keto Coffee (“Butter Coffee”) that Can Keep You Going for Hours

(307)
Keto coffee recipe - Dr. Axe

If you’re already a fan of coffee, then you’re really going to love this recipe for keto coffee, also known as “butter coffee.”

In moderation, high-quality, organic coffee can definitely have its proven coffee health benefits. This recipe takes coffee to another level, as it makes that cup of coffee satiating for hours.

Instead of just mainly getting a punch of eye-opening caffeine with a solid dose of antioxidants, this recipe adds in nutritional powerhouse ingredients like grass-fed butter and collagen powder to give you a sustainable boost of energy that doesn’t leave you falling flat a few hours later.

What Is Keto Coffee?

What if I told you that butter in coffee and coconut oil in coffee are not only healthy, but actually quite tasty? It’s true!

Keto coffee gives you all of the coffee benefits plus so much more. No longer will your morning java be a jittery jolt with useless calories.

You may have already heard of the keto diet. One of the central aspects of this intriguing diet, which was originally developed for epilepsy patients in the 1920s, is that it contains a very low amount of carbohydrates and a high amount of fats. In addition to possibly helping followers shed unwanted pounds, a ketogenic diet has even been shown in scientific research to help combat cancer as well as other serious chronic health issues.

Keto coffee — which was made popular by the Bulletproof Diet and which is also called Bulletproof coffee, or butter coffee — is the perfect keto drink, morning or afternoon, for someone following a ketogenic diet. It’s also a way of giving this ketogenic philosophy of eating a try.

Instead of loading your coffee with carbohydrate-rich milk and sugar, you add seriously beneficial fats like coconut oil and butter. Rather than using a blood sugar spiking sweetener, you top your keto coffee off with a nice sprinkle of cinnamon (which satisfies a need for sweet but actually helps to keep blood sugar down).

Coffee with coconut oil and other healthy fats makes for a hot beverage that is highly satisfying. You not only enjoy the richness of this keto coffee, but it also keeps you full for hours. So if you’re watching your weight, it’s actually not a drink to shy away from, but rather it could be a coffee change that helps your weight loss efforts.

Are you looking for a similar coffee drink but without as much fat and that’s usually served cold? You can try so-called protein coffee.

A quick glance at some of the top health benefits associated with this keto coffee recipe’s ingredients:

  • Organic coffee: Coffee is actually one of the leading contributors of disease-fighting antioxidants in the American diet. Research shows that an average cup of coffee might even contain more polyphenol antioxidants than cocoa, green tea, black tea and herbal tea!
  • Collagen: Collagen is loaded with amino acids that help to support healthy gut function, improve skin appearance from the inside out, improve joint health, among other benefits. Collagen is the most abundant protein in our bodies, and it’s found in muscles, bones, skin, blood vessels, digestive system and tendons. As we age, our body’s collagen production naturally begins to slow down, which why it’s good to supplement with a collagen-rich protein powder.
  • Unsalted grass-fed butter: On top of adding a creamy richness that makes additional dairy like milk or cream unnecessary, grass-fed butter contains high levels of conjugated linoleic acid, a compound that potentially may help provide protection against different types of cancer and helps the body store muscle instead of fat.
  • Coconut oil or MCT oil: Coconut oil is high in medium-chain fatty acids like caprylic acid, lauric acid and capric acid that provide an excellent source of energy. Coconut oil is a great source of medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs) — roughly 62 percent to 65 percent of the fatty acids in coconut oil are MCTs.
  • Cinnamon: This is one of the healthiest spices on Earth that contains antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-diabetic, antimicrobial, immunity-boosting and heart-protective abilities.

How to Make Keto Coffee

Making keto coffee is extremely easy. There are only a couple of steps. First brew the coffee, such as with a French press. Pour 8 ounces of coffee along with unsalted butter, coconut oil or MCT oil, and collagen powder into a high-powered blender.

    BTW: in addition to my previous comment, I should point out that I followed a low-to-no card lifestyle (I do not say “diet” because that sounds temporary and faddish), and I lost over 35 pounds in 8 or 10 months. All of this while carefully monitoring my diabetes BG levels and using almost no insulin. Previously I had been taking 14 units of novolog before each meal. I use only Tresiba at bedtime to regulate BG levels.

    I keep in close contact with my regular doctor and my cardiologist since I am a heart transplant recipient of 20 years. My panels are very good.

    Finally, I do “cheat” occasionally. I intentionally and knowingly eat bread or oven dessert once in a while because I like both. This is the way I live, not a fad diet that I will not stick with. (Bread is my biggest weakness!) With moderate exercise, I feel better than I have for several years, and I am two sizes down in my trousers.

    This is one of the few sites and/or books that simply gives facts and information without trying to peddle something. The topic was discussed in a clear and yet clinical manner, without the overuse of adjectives or the enthusiasm of a zealot, that helps the reader decide whether of not to follow such a life style.

    Thanks.

    I have an allergy to an acid found in fruit and salad items. It needs to be boiled out for me to eat them but still, things like apples will kill me. This includes avocados.
    What’s your suggestions for alternatives. I have been living off meat, cheese and potatoes and its been fine. But I’m now in my 30s and getting the spread.
    ANY advice?

    Is it still beneficial to make a large batch and freeze for convenience? I would like to blend the butter, coconut oil, collagen powder with some coffee then portion it out to freeze and add to a morning coffee on the go. Or does the premixing and freezing process reduce the benefits?

    I highly recommend any mothers who are expecting consider whether they want to be doing keto / coffee leading up to the conception. I know during pregnancy most mothers realize caffeine can be detrimental, but even beforehand I have found that this can be the case (I’m a doula in Austin: https://malloryjacks.com/austin-doula ). It’s just from experience, but it makes the process of getting morning sickness etc a little worse.

    Hi Dr. Axe,
    Just getting started on the Keto diet for my husband and I. Don’t understand the chart. 75% fat, I know what protein is but the 75% fat is throwing me off. The fat you show is butter, oil, avocados etc. How am I to get 75% fat from those? Making dinner if I make spinach, hamburger what else do I make? Where’s the 75% fat?

      Cook with butter, add butter to your spinach, add a dollop of butter to the top of your burger. There are lots of ways to add more fat to your way of eating. Just have to think about it. :)

    Hi Dr. Axe,
    I was given the ‘butter coffee’ recipe several months ago and love it, however, the recipe I was given was:
    2 Cups coffee
    2T Heavy Whipping Cream
    2T Kerrygold butter (grassfed butter)
    1T MCT Oil
    1T Cacoa
    I’ve experimented with adding Tumeric (but the color is gross) and sprinkling cinnamon..

    1. Why organic coffee vs. Caribou Coffee? Is the difference significant?
    2. Is it bad to add the HWC?

    I love this recipe! I just tried it myself two days ago and was pretty surprised by the taste. I’ve been drinking butter coffee and tea for some time, but only recently have I started branching out and trying out some other recipes and ingredients.

    One of the best additions I have had is simple: egg yolk. The egg yolk is full of healthy fats, it adds some frothiness to the beverage (which I like). More importantly it is full of choline, which is important for brain health (like memory formation and learning). Because of the added choline I add a brain supplement called aniracetam (https://www.nootropedia.com/aniracetam/ )because that is fat soluble and works synergistically with choline to improve memory. Luckily, it does not have much of a taste so I don’t have to worry about it ruining the flavor of my drink.

    I hope the added tips are helpful. At least the egg yolk is an easy one to start :)

    I would love to try this recipe but as of September 2017 I’ve been dairy free, my new functional doctor did food allergy testing & said dairy needs to go for life. Can I just omit the grass fed butter & the drink still have the same benefits? Or can I substitute something in place if the butter?

      Butter has butyric acid, which is really good for treating leaky gut. I take it as a substitute for L-glutamine (I cannot take L-glutamine for various reasons)

      Have you tried ghee? Most people who can’t do dairy CAN do ghee. But if you can’t do ghee, then coconut butter or raw cacao butter will work. Our brain is mostly fat. Our bodies work more efficiently when we are eating lots of healthy fats (and lower carb). I hope that helps.

      Reply
    • Sigrid on

      Coconut butter isn’t anything like dairy butter. If you used coconut butter in your coffee, it would just be grainy and weird. Just use the coconut oil. It’s the same thing, only without the fiber the coconut “butter” has.
      Folks who don’t tolerate cow’s milk often do just fine with ghee. This is because the milk solids have been removed to make ghee and it’s almost always what’s in the milk solids that cause the problems for people.

      IMHO, if the organic, grass-fed whipping cream has no sweetener, then they are the same. If you keep whipping the cream, it will turn into butter. The only downside will be if there is sweetener. Are you blending the whipped cream into the coffee or just putting it on top? You could do both.

    I make my version of Bullet Proof coffee with the added ingredient of Now Liquid Lecithin, an emulsifier which helps the fat and water to mix, and as i understand it, helps the cholesterol work right in our bodies. I choose not to use soy; i use Sunflower Lecithin. I first pour the coffee, then stir the cup vigorously while i dribble ~ a teaspoon of the lecithin in. it helps to warm the lecithin first. You could also use powdered or granules of lecithin.
    Next i add the coconut oil and butter. Next i whip the cupful of liquids with a wire whip i place between my palms and rub like i am trying to start a fire with a stick.
    You want to drink this before it gets cold. Cold lecithin is yucky! .

    For women that suffer from estrogen dominance (I’ve been diagnosed with adenomyosis), I’d like to know if I should substitute the coffee with matcha green tea powder? Read that matcha contains less caffeine. Feedback would be greatly appreciated. And I have tried regular coffee with mct oil as well as ghee.
    Note: I quit the mct/ghee and have been taking fermented cod liver oil w/ butter oil and grass-fed dessicated liver capsules.

      I was recommended to use Great Lakes brand gelatin. I usually buy the porcine one since it is colorless – better to use for a variety of cooking as it doesn’t color foods brown. I think they also have beef though. I am curious what Dr. Axe would think of the porcine gelatin since the recipe specifies beef. I get it at a local health food store, but just checked on Vitacost and they have it there, too. Probably Amazon, etc.

    We, at Okanagan Rawsome have been fans of our Super (delicious) green Coffee for the past year. freshly brewed organic coffee, freshly made almond milk or organic raw whole milk ( from our neighbours) raw cacao nibs, spinach, kale or cilantro, tumeric, maca, cayenne, and a scoop of coconut oil or butter. At your suggestion we’ve recently added collagen powder. Blend until frothy and than go for a 10 km nordic ski! Don’t worry too much about exact measurements.

    Could substituting the coffee with Teecino “herbal coffee” be equally beneficial? Teecino is very coffee-tasting without bitterness, is caffeine-free, and non-acidic. It’s perfect substitute for that something warm in your mug in the AM :) Just curious. Thanks.

    I have been on the high fat keto diet for six weeks now. I have only lost seven pounds but I do feel full and haven’t wanted to snack on chips or carbs.. I have been very rigorous about not eating any sugar and had already been off gluten for several years. However, my heart is continually going into afib, running faster and irregular more than ever. I wonder if you have any information about this. I read that I need to watch my electrolytes, so I drink plenty of water and take several supplements. If I don’t get any info, i will have to go off this way of eating. Thanks.

    Kellyjo, yes, this is instead of “regular” breakfast usually. Some people say it isn’t a great thing to do since it doesn’t involve chewing and that may lead to feeling deprived, somehow. I do love to eat, but I find that I enjoy this kind of coffee and I don’t feel deprived at all. It is so easy and tastes good, too. It is a relief not to have to find breakfast foods every day.

      This has been my entire breakfast, daily, for over a year. At one point I felt like I needed a little more, so I tried eating a hard boiled egg too. That didn’t really help, so I tried adding extra butter and coconut oil to the beverage and that did the trick – no egg or anything else needed. When I read this today, I ordered some of Dr. Axe’s bone broth collagen, though. I’m excited to try adding this in as I think it will up the nutrients and satiation as well. Maybe I’ll be able to cut back on the butter and oil a bit.

      I really like this made with matcha green tea in the morning. It took me a few months to grow to like it as much as my morning coffee, but now I look forward to it each morning. I think there are lots of nutrient benefits to matcha green tea, but not the same ones as with the coffee. I guess it depends on what you’re going for. I did make buttered tea a couple times with an herbal tea in the afternoon when I wanted to eat everything in sight. The fat in it totally worked to stop my cravings, but it just doesn’t taste that great with herbal tea. I would only do that when I’m desperate.

    I started drinking coffee blended with butter and coconut oil for breakfast over a year ago. I loved it. Then about six months ago, I decided I wanted to go even healthier and started making it with match green tea instead of the coffee. I have a slightly sluggish thyroid and thought maybe less caffeine would be beneficial with that. My question is, what type of blender do people use for this? I have gone thru two Nutribullets and recently bought a Ninja blender. In reading the directions for the Ninja, it says in several places not to use hot liquids. In hindsight, I think that is probably why I went thru two Nutribullets in less than a year. Now I am using an immersion blender, but it doesn’t make it very frothy, plus it is messier. Any suggestions? For me, one of the joys of my morning beverage is the hotter the better, so I don’t want to let it cool before blending. Thanks.

      The article neglects to tell you to heat up your blender jar and coffee cup with very hot water to keep the beverage very hot.

      You cannot use a Nutribullet because there is no way for the hot steam to escape and you will have a mess. I have a Black and Decker high speed blender that works fantastic. I chose this blender for it’s powerful wattage, compared to the others that were available at the time in a similar price range. It also has a glass jar and is dishwasher safe. Any blender should do if it okay to use hot liquids in it.

      I use grass fed butter, (1 tbsp), Dr. Axe Collagen Bone Broth (tasteless) 1 scoop, is about 2 tbsp, 1 to 2 tsp of organic coconut oil, 1/4 tsp of organic ceylon cinnamon, and sometimes but rarely, 1 tbsp cacao powder for a mocha flavor. Pour the hot water out of the heated blender jar, add hot coffee (8 oz for me) and all other ingredients and blend on high for about 15 seconds. Pour hot water out of large coffee mug, and pour in Keto coffee from blender. That should keep your coffee hot, creamy and flavorful. I love it!

      I use an immersion blender. I used to use my vitamix, but it was too much hassle and clean up. The immersion blender works great and is easier to clean up. It comes out nice and creamy. In fact, sometimes in the vitamix the oils didn’t quite blend all the way. I haven’t had that problem since switching to immersion.

      I use a Ninja every morning to make my coffee. I think the key is to make sure the lid is on tight and once done blending I let it sit. I do not take the lid off right away. I hope this is helpful!

      Try using a lid (from a tumbler) that has a hole in it for the straw. If you have a hand mixer or an immersion blender that has a detachable beater, slide the rod of the blender through the lid, then just hold down the lid while you “blend.” It doesn’t matter if the lid doesn’t “fit” the container you are using as long as it fully covers it. Just hold it down to contain the spray and be sure you are using a tall enough container so that the level of the liquid is not to close to the top edge to be swirled over it by the centrifugal force of the beater pushing it around and up the sides.

    Various blood test has shown high levels of inflammation. I have been lactose intolerant, have muscle pains and constipation, also gluten intolerance.
    I have changed my diet to Paleo and have been drinking tumeric mixed with ginger tea, but I have been told that I need to be on a vegan diet to have my body properly cleansed. Is this necessary?

      Hi Dorma, I personally do not believe that’s necessary. Here is a list of some of my favorite anti-inflammatory foods I think you may find helpful: https://draxe.com/nutrition/anti-inflammatory-foods/.

      I would highly recommend you check out Dr Axe’s new book. I have the exact same symptoms and have been finding great relief after adding collagen and large amounts of pro and pre biotics to my diet.
      Also, Gut and Psychology Syndrome by Natasha McBride is another great book to help understand why we develop these gluten and lactose intolerance’s.
      Hope this helps =)

      Dorma, u are lactose intolerant cuz im sure u are not taking raw milk, raw butter, etc. If u take them pasteurized, the digestive enzymes that come naturally with milk, are killed so thats why people cannot tolerate milk, cuz the enzymes that God created are not there to digest it.
