1. What Makes Keto Coffee Different From Regular Coffee?

What would you first order when arriving at your favorite coffee shop? If you love an espresso, an americano or a long back, it’s easy. These types are already healthy enough because there are no additional ingredients other than a freshly extracted coffee shot and water (iced or hot, optional). However, if you love latte, frappuccino or cappuccino, you might want to consider trying this keto coffee recipe. Instead of regular cow milk and cream which contains a lot of sugar and carbs in general, coconut oil and butter are recommended to use. You do not have to add milk because other ingredients are all flavorful already. Butter works as a keto coffee creamer which makes it less bitter, sour and easier to drink. 

2. Is Keto Coffee Good For Your Health?

Yes, especially if you follow a keto diet plan. A cup of keto coffee contains around 300 calories with 25 grams fat, 22 grams protein and various vitamins and potassium, pantothenic acid and sodium. It’s already enough to give your morning a boost before work, school or going to the gym. The energy is mostly from butter and coconut oil which are also used in several keto recipes. However, taking too much caffeine is not a wise choice because this substance is addictive. It makes you more reliant on it the more you drink, especially on a daily basis.
