Super Fueled MCT Coffee

Today, we will find ways to nourish our body and brain to allow us to strengthen our physical and mental abilities. We will be doing this by learning how to make a super-fueled  MCT coffee, giving our body the healthy fats and nourishment it loves without the insulin spikes.

This helps us get most of the benefits of regular fasting as well as getting more healthy fats into our day plus it tastes amazing and it’s super easy to make.

Replacing my breakfast with MCT coffee makes my mornings easier since I don’t have to spend extra time cooking myself breakfast. Remember our bodies have evolved to do just fine without breakfast. Even though the large cereal companies try to make you believe that breakfast is the most important meal of the day, which it is but it doesn’t have to be done right when you wake up.

I usually have my first meal around 2 or 3 since the MCT coffee helps blunt my hunger. But what is MCT oil – MCT is short for Medium chain triglyceride. Which are healthy fats that can come from coconuts or palm kernels. They are a clean and rapid source of energy that bypasses the digestive process and instead goes straight to the liver where it converts into the super fuel ketones.

So, let’s go over how to make this super-fueled warm and soothing drink!

Ingredients    (Serves 1 )

Super-fueled MCT Coffee

  • 8 – 10 oz Fresh Black Coffee
  • 1/2 – 1 tablespoon MCT oil
  • 1 tablespoon Grass-fed Butter (like Kerry-Gold)
  • 1 tablespoon Heavy Whipping Cream

Directions

  1. First, you will need to order a quality MCT oil which you can find on our recommendations page. Once that arrives, you will simply make a batch of coffee like normal but instead of adding sugar or creamers to it, we will instead make it into a coffee full of healthy fats to fuel your morning.
  2. Pour yourself a 8 to 10 oz cup of coffee in a non-styrofoam cup, you don’t want styrofoam since the MCT will dissolve it. Which will make a mess – so stick with glass.
  3. Once the coffee is poured add 1 tablespoon of MCT oil now if your new to MCT oil then start with 1/2 a tablespoon to allow your system to get used to this super fuel.
  4. Next, you will add 1 tablespoon of grass fed butter like the brand Kerry Gold. Then, add 1 tablespoon of heavy cream and blend it together, a spoon should do the job fine. Once nicely mixed simply enjoy!!

 

This will help you feel energized and allow you to continue to crush your day.

Now some anecdotal evidence has shown that some women feel better when they add a bit of protein into their mornings. But then some do just fine with a healthy fat filled MCT coffee, and there is nothing wrong with that. We are all made with our unique differences. So if you have found that a bit of protein makes you feel best then you can simply add some powdered collegan into your MCT coffee. Collagen is long chain amino acid that is helpful in the development of healthy skin, strong hair and proper building of connective tissue. The brand I recommend has 10 grams of protein in a pretty small serving that dissolves nicely into coffee with-out drastically changing the taste. So you can always see which version of MCT coffee you feel best on.
