Before we get into this delicious recipe below, how about we understand why ketosis is beneficial & why we love organic MCT oil in our coffee?

Ketosis is a state of metabolism, which breaks down fat for energy. The quickest way to ketosis, is through a low-carb or ‘ketogenic’ diet. This is where MCT oil coffee’s come in handy.

MCTs found in coconuts, are immediately converted into ketones that can be utilised as a source of energy by the brain, heart and nervous system.
More to the point they can easily be added to your daily coffee & assist in concentration, productivity, weight-loss, satiation, gut health and overall metabolism support.

Even if you’re not following a ketogenic diet, the benefits of Coffee and MCT combined will help you to fire on all cylinders!

Plus organic ghee creates a synergistically powerful addition to kick start the day.

Melrose Keto Coffee Recipe 

Ingredients:

• 30mL espresso coffee*
• 80mL boiling hot water
• ½ - 1 tablespoon Melrose Organic Grass-fed Ghee
• ½ - 1 tablespoon Melrose MCT Oil (Original, Pro Plus or Pro Rapid) 

Tips:

Make sure your blender is suitable for hot liquids. If not, then blend all ingredients above with a small amount of warm water to emulsify, then top up with boiling water to serve 

*You can use any kind of black coffee. If starting with a long black, rather than a shot of espresso, simply remove the 80mL of hot water from the recipe

If you are new to using MCT oil, only add 1 teaspoon into your MCT Coffee, if you have been using MCT oil for sometime, you can increase your intake to 1 tablespoon per day, but gradually increasing a teaspoon at a time over a period of a few weeks 

Feel free to personalise the recipe to your taste by adding a pinch of cinnamon, maca powder or turmeric for extra benefits.
