What does low carb keto coffee taste like?

For starters, keto coffee does not use a truck-load of sugar and whipped cream, so if you’re new to the keto diet and have gotten used to the zing from your usual Starbucks order, you’ll notice that low carb coffees taste stronger and rich.

Bulletproof coffee is the most common among keto-approved coffee recipes. It typically uses grass-fed unsalted butter and brewed coffee. So, if you like your coffee strong, flavor-wise this isn’t that far from your usual cuppa joe.

Now, much like those $3 coffee and lattes, these recipes use freshly brewed coffee as its base. You don’t have to worry though if you’re not a huge fan of strong coffee, there are a variety of sugar-free sweeteners and low carb creamers in the market (e.g., Trader Joes, Amazon Prime, Thrive Market, etc.) that can gourmet-fy your homemade low-carb coffee!

So, the short answer is: keto coffee tastes great! It’s really up to you to find the recipe and ingredients that work for your lifestyle.

How does low carb coffee affect your metabolism?

Generally speaking, coffee is great for those on a low carb and keto diets because it has been shown to boost ketone levels. Ketones help you burn fat and curb cravings.

It contains compounds that increase your metabolic rate, which is how fast your body turns calories into energy, as well as your athletic performance. Not to mention the caffeine helps fight fatigue when you reaaaally need to power through your week.

Some of the benefits of ketogenic coffee are:

• boosts energy
• boost metabolism
• helps keep you satiated
• helps fight fatigue
• doesn’t spike blood sugar

How many cups of coffee can you have on keto?

As much as we love coffee, there is such a thing as ‘too much’ keto coffee. Although a serving or two won’t hurt, it really depends on your daily macronutrient budget.

According to the Mayo Clinic, 400mg of caffeine a day seems safe for most adults (i.e., about 4 cups of coffee) but you’ll want to consult your dietitian if you have hypertension and other heart issues.

What can you add to make keto coffee taste better?

If you’re thinking, “Sure! All these sound great, but what options do I have to make my coffee keto and still taste delicious?”

Here’s a list of keto-safe sweeteners and creamers:

Sugar-Free and Keto Sugar Alternatives

• Monk fruit sweetener (use code REALBALANCED for 20% off)
• Stevia
• Erythritol
• Xylitol

Note: Sugar alcohols like xylitol and erythritol should be taken in small doses as too much of it can cause bloating and gas. Folks with Irritable Bowel Syndrome may need to skip sugar alcohols to avoid these symptoms.

Low Carb Keto Creamers

• Califia Farms Almond Milk Coffee Creamer (contains nuts)
• Califia Farms Better Half Coffee Creamer Unsweetened (contains nuts)
• Laird Superfood Creamer Unsweetened
• Cacao Left Coast Performance Keto Coffee Creamers
• Unflavored Left Coast Performance Keto Coffee Creamers

Other add-ons you can use to up-level your keto or low carb coffee:

• MCT Oil (use code REALBALANCED for 15% off)
• MCT Oil Powder (use code REALBALANCED for 15% off)
• Collagen Powder
• Unsalted grass-fed butter
• Heavy whipping cream
• Coconut oil
• Spices like cinnamon, vanilla bean, and nutmeg

If you add any of the above add-ons to your coffee, I would suggest blending them into your coffee with a high-speed blender. This will result in the ingredient being fully incorporated into the coffee and if you choose to use something like MCT Oil or MCT Oil Powder, it will yield a frothy, latte-like drink.
