Why People Swear By Drinking Coffee With Butter

Butter coffee, favored by adherents of keto and paleo diets, is a mix of freshly brewed coffee with unsalted butter and coconut oil, yielding a rich flavor and velvety texture.

High in medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs), butter and oil, add a hefty dose of saturated fat into your cup. This slows down the caffeine absorption, keeping you alert for longer.

Additionally, MCTs are believed to induce a feeling of fullness, reducing hunger. This appetite-suppressing effect could aid in weight loss and improve metabolic efficiency.

While scientific backing for the concoction is lacking, most people — even scientists — agree that butter coffee can taste pretty good. It’s quite simple to prepare, too.

Start by adding about a tablespoon each of coconut oil and unsalted butter to your preferred coffee. If you’re looking to reduce lactose, you can clarify the butter into ghee.

For those who are lactose intolerant, consider using vegan butter options. Then, blend everything in a blender for about 30 seconds until you have a frothy, light-colored beverage.
