Coffee and coconut oil

(chad) #1

Ok so do you have to blend the c oil up in the coffee or will it just melt/ stir up. I drink coffee while at work and can’t really get to a blender. Will just sticking it in still work?

Also it’s heavy whipping cream ok ?

Unless you blend it you will end up with a very gross oil slick on top. Stick blender is the way to go to get the necessary emulsification.

The coconut oil melts and yes heavy whipping cream is great. Sometimes for me I’ll add also a pat of butter and a sweetener. Decadent! :grinning:

Sorry. Misread your post. If you cant use a stick blender, then it’ll be hard to get it blended well. And, learn from my mistake, don’t shake hot coffee and coconut oil in a plastic GNC mixing bottle. :flushed::flushed::flushed: Lets just say hot liquids under pressure tend to go where they want.

I have a little milk frother. I wonder if that will work

It could. Emulsification turns it into a treat.

I don’t bother blending it - as I don’t find coconut oil gross and I can’t stand noisy machines early in the day. Plus, I love doing laaaaaaaazy keto.

It’s just the first few sips that seem the oilest/yummiest.

What I do is start with 2 tablespoons of coconut oil in my big latte mug, add 1-2 tablespoons cream, and maybe some erythritol if using flavored coffee or if it’s leftover bitter coffee - then add the HOT COFFEE and stirrrrrrrrrrr!

Then, I just sit. And sip. And listen to the new day. :coffee: :sun_with_face::sunflower:

Blending has to be done.

If you’re not going to have access to a blender you may want look into MCT powder. The oil will melt, but not actually blend in with the coffee without it. Better off doing your buttered/oiled up coffee at home and just having heavy cream at work for the during the day ones.

Yeh I use a little cheap milk frother while I’m at work :ok_hand:t2:

What about a carb free sweetener? I typed in splenda and stevia and there calories free but had a carb per pack. Is there anything I can use with out carbs

Both of them are fine if they’re a liquid, if it’s the packets there’s some carb content in there, sometimes from the maltodextrin it’s bonded to, AND many of them have actual sugar (dextrose) in them. 1 or 2 packets once or twice a day isn’t gonna do any damage, but I drink coffee all day long, I literally keep a squirt bottle of Splenda with me for that reason.
