Why Add Butter to Your Coffee
The butter in butter coffee is said to provide steady, long-lasting energy – bonus without a blood sugar crash! The theory behind this is that since fat slows digestion, the caffeine in the coffee is absorbed slower and provides longer-lasting energy. This would be why you would feel the effects of coffee over a longer period of time.
What Kind of Butter To Use in Butter Coffee
You will want to use a high-quality butter, preferably grass-fed. KerryGold Irish Butter is a popular option. Another option is to try an organic ghee. ‘
Coconut Oil in Coffee and MCT Oil in Coffee – Are you serious?
Coconut oil in coffee just doesn’t sound very good – but it really is. If you like coconut creamer, the coconut oil gives you a slight hint of coconut flavoring.
MCT Oil
As far as MCT oil in coffee – there is a reason the butter coffee recipe calls for this. MCT oil – MCT stands for “medium-chain triglycerides” (or medium-chain fatty acids.) MCT is a man-made saturated fatty acid.
There’s a lot of buzz going around about MCT oil and it’s possible benefits. The jury is still out on the validity of these claims, but alas we are spilling the beans on why MCT is all a buzz. Here’s what we learned from Shape.
What Are the Benefits of Butter Coffee?
The benefits of butter coffee include a more sustained level of energy. Some drinkers say that they feel fuller longer which can help with weight loss. We aren’t quite sure about that, but have felt the energy boosts and coffee in general makes me fill fuller.
Read how this journalist at BuzzFeed drank butter coffee for 6 weeks and what the benefits were.
Is this Keto Friendly?
Yes, butter coffee is keto-friendly. Do note, that while this can be an option if you need to add fats to your diet. BUT, that said, this isn’t for everyone. Because of the amount of saturated fat, if you have cholesterol issues – you may want to limit your oil and butter intake.
