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.
Ingredients:
- 30mL espresso coffee*
- 80mL boiling hot water
- ½ - 1 tablespoon Melrose Organic Grass-fed Ghee
- ½ - 1 tablespoon Melrose MCT Oil (Kickstart, Brain Power, Energy & Exercise)
Method:
Place coffee, ghee, MCT oil, and boiling water into a small blender and blend on high speed for about 10 seconds until coffee is creamy and smooth. Remove from blender and serve immediately.
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.
