Hey there! If you’re on the keto train and love coffee, this iced coffee is about to be your new best friend.
It’s creamy, energizing, and super simple to make.
The MCT oil gives you that boost of energy without kicking you out of ketosis, and it tastes like a fancy coffee shop treat—without the price tag.
I make this almost every morning, and let me tell you, it feels like a hug in a cup (but cold and refreshing). Let’s dive in!
What You’ll Need
- 1 cup brewed coffee (cooled or cold brew)
- 2 tbsp heavy cream
- 1 tbsp MCT oil
- ½ tsp vanilla extract (optional, but yummy)
- Ice cubes
Pro Tips
- Blend it for creaminess! Blending the MCT oil with the coffee prevents it from separating and gives you that frothy coffee-shop feel.
- Use cold brew. It’s smoother and less acidic than regular coffee.
- Start small with MCT oil. If you’re new to it, use 1 tsp at first to avoid stomach upset.
- Make it your own. Add a sprinkle of cinnamon or a keto-friendly sweetener for a little extra something.
- Serve fresh! It’s best to drink this right away to enjoy the frothiness.
Tools You’ll Need
- Blender or handheld frother
- Tall glass
- Spoon
Substitutions and Variations
- No heavy cream? Use unsweetened almond milk or coconut cream for a dairy-free option.
- MCT oil substitute: Use coconut oil, but it won’t blend quite as smoothly.
- Want it sweeter? Add a keto-friendly sweetener like stevia or monk fruit.
Make-Ahead Tips
- Brew your coffee ahead of time and keep it in the fridge. That way, you can whip this up in no time.
Instructions
1. Brew and cool the coffee.
Brew a fresh cup of coffee and let it cool, or grab pre-made cold brew.
2. Blend it up.
In a blender, combine the coffee, heavy cream, MCT oil, and vanilla extract (if using). Blend for 20–30 seconds until frothy.
3. Pour over ice.
Fill a tall glass with ice cubes and pour the frothy coffee mixture over the top.
4. Sip and enjoy!
Add a straw, give it a swirl, and enjoy your creamy, energizing iced coffee.
Leftovers and Storage
This drink is best made fresh, but you can keep the blended coffee (without ice) in the fridge for up to 24 hours. Just shake or blend again before serving.
Conclusion
And there you have it—your go-to keto iced coffee that’s as easy as it is delicious!
It’s perfect for mornings, afternoons, or anytime you need an energy boost.
