We LOVE coffee in this house. So when we had to go on a keto diet, the first thing we needed to figure out was how to still make the coffee we loved to have each morning.

It is indulgent and tasty – I know you’ll love it as much as we do.
Here are some commonly asked questions
What is the difference between Bulletproof coffee and regular coffee?
The biggest difference is that Bulletproof coffee is made with grass-fed butter or MCT oil, which makes it a much richer and more filling cup of coffee. It’s also said to have some health benefits, like boosting energy levels and aiding in weight loss.
How do I make Bulletproof coffee?
It’s actually pretty simple! Just brew your coffee as usual, then add in some grass-fed butter or MCT oil (or coconut oil) along with the other ingredients. Mix it all up until it’s nice and frothy, and enjoy.
Can I make Bulletproof coffee without MCT oil?
Yes, you can make Bulletproof coffee without MCT oil. However, MCT oil is a key ingredient in making Bulletproof coffee.
Your coffee won’t be as rich or creamy without it. You can use coconut oil instead of MCT oil, but it won’t give you the same benefits. While coconut oil does contain MCT, it isn’t as strong.
Can I make Bulletproof coffee without butter?
Yes, you can make Bulletproof coffee without butter. However, grass-fed butter is a key ingredient in making Bulletproof coffee.
I like to do one or the other so I can leave some fats and carbs for later in the day. You can use coconut oil instead of butter, but it won’t give you the same benefits.
Is Bulletproof coffee keto-friendly?
Yes, Bulletproof coffee is keto-friendly. However, it’s important to remember that it is still a high-fat beverage, so you should drink it in moderation if you’re not on the keto diet. High fat while not on a keto diet isn’t recommended.
But if you are tracking your macros each day, you can adjust your daily diet based on how much of this coffee you decide to have.
Ingredients for Bulletproof Iced Coffee
- brewed strong coffee hot (needs to be hot to melt the butter)
- heavy cream
- collagen powder
- butter softened (MCT oil, coconut oil, or ghee can be substituted)
- monk fruit sweetener
- cinnamon
Why would I want to drink Bulletproof coffee?
Some people find that it gives them more energy and focus throughout the day, and others find that it helps them lose weight. Some people just enjoy the taste and texture of a rich, creamy cup of coffee!
We like to drink it because we don’t want to start our day by adding sugar to our bodies. When you introduce sugar it will spike your insulin levels. When that happens it kicks your body out of ketosis.
The idea is that you don’t want to kick your body out of ketosis because when it is IN ketosis it is burning fat instead of sugar for fuel.
How much fat is in Bulletproof coffee?
A typical cup of Bulletproof coffee made with 2 tablespoons of butter OR 1 tablespoon of MCT oil contains around 14 grams of fat. Perfect for keto!
If you are following a keto diet – then a higher fat diet is something you are working on because it keeps you in ketosis.
How to Make Bulletproof Iced Coffee
- Place freshly brewed coffee, heavy cream, collagen, monk fruit sweetener, butter, and cinnamon in a blender and blend.
- Chill in the fridge for 4-6 hours or overnight.
- Serve over ice.
Is Bulletproof coffee healthy?
While there are some potential health benefits to drinking Bulletproof coffee, it’s important to remember that it is still a high-fat beverage.
If you’re looking for the healthiest cup of coffee, you might want to stick to black coffee or add in some just heavy cream instead of butter and oil.
What is ghee?
Ghee is a type of clarified butter that has been traditionally used in Indian cuisine. It is made by simmering butter until the water evaporates and the milk solids settle to the bottom, then removing them so that only the pure butterfat remains.
Ghee has a rich flavor and is higher in fat than regular butter, making it a good choice for Bulletproof coffee.
Can I make Bulletproof coffee with almond milk?
Yes, you can make Bulletproof coffee with almond milk. However, keep in mind that almond milk is lower in fat than grass-fed butter and MCT oil, so your coffee won’t be as rich or creamy.
You might want to add in a little extra almond milk or another type of milk to make up for the lack of fat.
Can I make Bulletproof coffee with coconut milk?
Yes, you can make Bulletproof coffee with coconut milk. Coconut milk is a good choice for Bulletproof coffee because it’s high in fat and will give your coffee a rich, creamy texture.
Just be sure to use full-fat coconut milk, not the low-fat kind.
