How To Make Your Morning Coffee Low Carb & Keto Friendly
Become a Low Carb Coffee Expert! We could never give up our morning coffee, not forever anyway. Coffee has been shown to provide your body with tons of benefits as long as you keep it in moderation. If you find yourself stopping by your favorite coffee shop every morning, you may find those added grams of sugar adding up quickly. Here’s a sobering fact: a Starbucks White Chocolate Mocha Venti coffee has 18 TEASPOONS of sugar. Teaspoons, people. A third of all drinks tested by Action on Sugar contained more sugar than Coca Cola. There’s sugar hiding in your coffee and lots of it. So what’s a new low carb-er to do? Well, you can always opt for making your coffee at home with real, un-artificially flavored coffee beans and lots of heavy cream. But if you wake up every morning looking forward to a hot cup of ready-made coffee at your coffee shop, there are ways you can help them make your coffee keto-friendly. 1. Choose Unflavored Coffee Beans Go for the real coffee beans like arabica or robusta. These have their own natural flavors and subtleties that can be lost in artificially flavored coffee beans. You’ll soon start noticing flavors like nuts, chocolate, and even fruitiness. Experiment with different beans and soon you’ll find a blend that excites you! 2. Skip the Milk Milk is not low carb! It contains a relatively large amount of sugar (lactose). Whole milk is the lesser of the evils, containing a relatively higher amount of fat than skim and the 1 & 2%s. What you’re looking for is heavy cream. Heavy cream is low carb, high fat. It’s the cream collected off the top of milk when it’s left to separate (what’s left is skim milk, a.k.a. pretty much water). Heavy cream (or heavy whipping cream or whipping cream) is gold in the keto community. It’s delici Continue reading >>

Bulletproof Coffee (keto Coffee)
If this is your first time hearing about Bulletproof coffee then you’re in for a real treat. There’s not a recipe on our entire blog that Megha and I make more often than this one. Some people call it keto coffee, fatty coffee, butter coffee etc. You get the picture! I’m probably a bigger fan of it than Megha, but we both love starting our day with a nice big cup of Bulletproof Coffee. Before we get into the specifics I have to give credit to the creator of this dynamic concoction Dave Asprey. He’s created a whole brand around this stuff and his site is worth checking out for more info. If you’re a visual learner you can check out the video below of me making a cup of Bulletproof coffee. Keto Coffee Recipe So what is Bulletproof coffee? In it’s purist form it is a combination of butter, coconut oil OR MCT oil and coffee. In recent years it has devolved into basically meaning any kind of coffee with lots of fat in it through a variety of sources like heavy cream, ghee, coconut milk etc. The original, and in my opinion the best version of Bulletproof coffee is 2 parts butter to 1 part MCT oil. I find it unnecessary to get too concerned over the intricate details of where your MCT oil is sourced from and whether the cow that produced your butter was milked within the last 3 days. Just get some butter and some MCT oil and you’re good! Why Bulletproof Coffee? By now you’re probably wondering why we’re putting all of these crazy things in our coffee. There’s a number of reasons actually! The biggest reason is energy. Not only are you benefiting from the caffeine in the coffee but you’re also getting an energy burst from the MCT oil. MCT oil is the fastest absorbed oil you can get your hands on, which makes it the perfect addition to coffee. Reason number Continue reading >>

Keto At Starbucks
How to Order Keto-Friendly Drinks at Starbucks One of the most challenging aspects to any diet or lifestyle change is finding room for little treats and on-the-go pick-me-ups. My recent entry into the world of ketosis has faced one, consistent road block: what do I drink in the middle of a 60 hour work week to keep me sane? Rum is my go-to but that’s no longer socially acceptable while one is at work. Since my mental health depends on the prevalence of coffee shop drive thrus at my disposal, I am lucky to have extensive knowledge of the Starbucks menu garnered through four years of reluctant service at the coffee giant which allows me to stay keto. So, with no further preamble, how to order keto-friendly at Starbucks. What Not to Order Frappuccino. No Frappuccino of any kind or in any iteration. Not the the light ones or the sugar free ones. They contain a premixed base that cannot be substituted and it’s full of carbs. Caramel Macchiato. It’s just a Vanilla Latte with the espresso poured on top instead of mixed in and caramel sauce on top. You can order it with sugar free vanilla but the caramel sauce does not come sugar free. It’s basically sweet lard and you don’t want that. You can order it without the caramel but, again, that’s just a Vanilla Latte and people only order the Macchiatos because the iced ones are pretty and it makes them feel special (which is okay, I guess, but I have no sympathy for your aesthetic sensibilities because it’s a silly reason to order a drink). Pro-tip: The caramel sauce is different from the caramel syrup. As stated above, the sauce is sweet lard. The syrup is a liquid and is used in Caramel Lattes and does come sugar free. Most of the bottled drinks. But of course it is easy to check the nutrition info on these items. Sm Continue reading >>
Mexican Coffee – Low Carb And Sugar Free
As many of you know, I attended the first ever Food Blog University in Cancun last week. It was pretty fantastic and suffice it to say that I took away a long list of things I need to start working on. But the real takeaway from my trip? MEXICAN COFFEE IS MY NEW FAVORITE EVERYTHING. We worked hard and played hard (ok mostly relaxed by the pool, but there WAS some volleyball and ping pong – which still counts, right?) during and after the conference, and every morning my new bff Mexican coffee was there for me to help start the day. Before I get into why the coffee is so amazing (and why you should start making it STAT) I’ll just say a few things about the conference for those of you (mostly my fellow bloggers) who might be interested in going next year… TOP TEN REASONS YOU SHOULD GO TO FOOD BLOG UNIVERSITY IN 2016 1. FBU is by design a more intimate conference with fewer bloggers invited – meaning that you get some serious quality time with not only your fellow attendees, but especially with the major talent that you are there to learn from. It’s a big deal. 2. I’ll be there. Let’s hang out by the pool and stuff. 3. It’s in Cancun – need I say more? 4. Lindsay and Bjork from Pinch of Yum are just as amazing in person (funny, nice, smart, and the most adorable couple EVAH) as they are on the blog and Food Blogger Pro videos. Not only did a learn a TON from both of them, we had a great time with them during the progressive dinner and throughout the conference. Also the hand’s on photography workshop with Lindsay alone made this trip worth it – if you’re looking to up your photography game, this girl can make it happen and she’s an open book when it comes to sharing her tips and tricks. She also has some really great video tutorials out on Food Bl Continue reading >>
Perfect Cup Of Ketoproof Coffee
Ketoproof coffee is quite a bit healthier than your average breakfast, and it has the calories to match. Commonly used in intermittent fasting, ketoproof coffee gives plenty of energy and a great satiated feeling throughout the morning fasting hours. Now, I want to explain this further. Drinking this coffee will break your fast from the night time, but it will ramp up your metabolism with caffeine and fats. This is to help you get through the fasting process in the 10+ hours ahead. Personally, I drink 2 cups of this in the morning – fast all day – and eat at 9pm. If you’re only using this for breakfast, and still eating a lunch, then it’s not really intermittent fasting. Our favorite brew is made with a pour over and goose-neck kettle. I chose the Bonavita Variable Temp Kettle because it’s on the cheaper side for the quality that you can get. If you’re a coffee lover, it’s definitely worth the splurge! For the pour over, we have an Osaka “Lake Masu” Pour over. It’s really just for the design – I think it looks fantastic. You can easily get a cheap one here that’ll do the same exact thing though. Don’t forget that you’ll most likely need some coffee filters, too. If you’re not a morning person and just want a quick and easy cup of coffee, you can always consider a Keurig Coffee Maker. I’ve owned numerous in the past and they’re great machines if you want convenience. It doesn’t take up much more room than a regular coffee maker and you can usually get small drawers or stands that will hold the k-cups for you. Plus, you can switch up the flavors with just about any type you want! Even though k-cups have come a long way on consumer safety and ecological factors, you still might want to grind your own fresh coffee. Luckily, you can grab a Continue reading >>

Mocha Chile Coffee (aka Spiced Mexican Coffee) – Keto Friendly
Coffee drinks are my beverage of choice whether it be a classic Irish coffee at the restaurant, a fresh brewed medium roast coffee in the morning, or a Pumpkin Spice coffee during the fall. I love them all, and am something of a fanatic. So, as I was harvesting the chile peppers from our farm one cool morning, the wonderful combination of chocolate, coffee and spice in the form of a Mocha Chile Coffee (aka Spiced Mexican Coffee) became a sudden craving. I made it low carb of course by the type of sugar substitute I added, but the chile spice is the star ingredient to get right. The Spice Mix for the Mocha Chile Coffee (aka Spiced Mexican Coffee) We had a bumper crop of chile peppers this year and we spent all fall harvesting, drying and smoking them. The smoked peppers are the most intriguing to me and this year they included Chipotles (smoked Jalapenos), Anchos (smoked Poblanos) and Pasilla (smoked Pasilla). When I heard that Starbucks was offering a Chile Mocha Coffee, I rushed down to try one out, only to be sorely disappointed. No heat! I was anticipating a spicy, chocolaty rich coffee topped with a spicy whipped cream. I asked the barista what was going on and they said really there was just a little spice on the top, but mostly it was a coffee mocha. Harrumph! So, as I was putting together the spice mixes for the holiday boxes, I used the mocha coffee as a test for how hot and how smoky to make the “hot and smoky” spice mixes that we sell individually. I thought if the chile spice blends could stand up to the strong flavors of chocolate and coffee and still provide a smoky depth, it would work with just about anything that needed that kind of complexity. While the smoky spice mix was great in the Mocha Chile coffee, I personally needed more heat. Because the h Continue reading >>

How To Make Your Morning Coffee Low Carb & Keto Friendly
You must agree with us that drinking coffee in the morning has been an important part of almost everyone’s breakfast. It presents many benefits for you. Coffee is a great source of antioxidants which help combat cardiovascular disease-causing inflammations in the body. Furthermore, it neutralizes free radicals which can aid in metabolism. Caffeine found in coffee boosts your memory and helps protect you against decline in cognitive functions. However, there are studies showing negative effects of coffee when taken while undergoing a diet plan. For people undergoing a low-carb diet, drinking coffee may compromise your carbohydrates intake. If you like your coffee with a sweet taste, adding sugar can amp up the amount of carbohydrates in your meal. If you’re on an extremely low-carb diet, your morning coffee will consume most of your restricted daily carb intake. This is highly unpreferable as it can obscure the attainment of your goal. Nonetheless, there is a low carb coffee alternative in the market which can address this concern. We recommend you try out keto coffee. It has the same flavor but with low carb content compared with your regular coffee blends. Low Carb & Keto Friendly Coffee 1. How many carbs in coffee? This question may have been popping out in your mind. Technically speaking, there is no carb in coffee. The additions such as cream and sugar are the ones which increase its carb content. Regular coffee creamers found in grocery shelves contain two to five grams of carbs per one tablespoon serving. On the other hand, one teaspoon of sugar contains grams of carbohydrates. Adding these two can easily amp up your carb intake. How about the carb amount of coffee shop staples? Here is a compilation of carb content of popular drinks in Starbucks. Drink Varian Continue reading >>

Health Diy: Keto-friendly, Butter Coffee Recipe And Benefits
Bullet-proof coffee also called as ketogenic coffee is a great way to speed up your metabolism and lose weight. What exactly is a ketogenic diet? A keto-diet is a diet plan wherein you turn your body into a fat-burning machine due to the process that takes place internally called as ketosis. Keto-diet is actually a low carb and high fat diet where you consume very low carbs, approx. less than 50 grams a day and eat all the good fats like coconut oil, olive oil, white unsalted butter etc. You also eat moderate amounts of proteins which you get from chicken, cottage cheese etc. The ketogenic diet is also referred to as low-carb high-fat diet or simply LCFD diet. Below is the recipe for bullet-proof or ketogenic coffee along with its benefits: BENEFITS: METABOLISM This black coffee with essential fats has a tendency to speed up the metabolism. This is the only reason why it is recommended. Speeding up metabolism refers to easy digestion of food and no retention of unwanted stuff in the body. Since the metabolism is catalyzed, and there are less carbs, fats are broken down and consumed for energy. ESSENTIAL FATS Since you add in coconut oil and grass-fed unsalted white butter, you provide the body with fats needed for consumption and energy. PREVENTS IRREGULAR EATING Since you put in fats and caffeine in the body, you feel full for longer and avoid eating or munching at irregular timings. You also do not crave much so there are less chances of you over eating or wanting to eat anything that is unhealthy. SOURCE OF GOOD FATS Since the keto-diet and this bullet-proof coffee involves healthy fat consumption like coconut oil and white butter and less carbs, they are consumed completely by the body and there won’t be any weight gain or health issues like obesity, heart attacks Continue reading >>
