MCT oil in your cup of coffee? Really? Yup! Turns out, there’s every reason to add MCT oil to your morning coffee. And, to be honest, I’m quite obsessed with this oil and what it can to my body, so I have no problem making it part of my routine.
For starters, repeated research shows that MCT oil can speed up metabolism and regulate bowel movements. Even more impressive, it can help raise HDL cholesterol while improving energy levels. Of course, there’s no better way to ingest the oil than to add it into my favorite beverage!
What follows is a rundown of MCT oil recipes you can try out. Oh, and before then, here are some of my favorite MCT Oils to help you get started the right way.

Note – you have to remove any layer of solids from your coconut milk before mixing with other ingredients in your blender. The idea is to make sure that you whip the solids into a tasty dressing. You can serve the drink hot or cold, depending on your preference. Even then, I suggest that you pour it over ice and garnish with a spritz of cinnamon.
Ginger Bulletproof Coffee

Be sure to dust the cinnamon spice over your coffee before you brew and bend. I recommend this recipe if you’re in pursuit of a low carb drink that will give you the energy to run all day. One cup will enable you to stay in excellent mental and physical shape.
Of course, you can alternate MCT oil with coconut oil to add some sweetness. Still, use coconut oil sparingly since you don’t have to make the gingerbread sour and take away the sweet spice.
The Bottom Line
While these aren’t the only coffee and MCT coffee recipes out there, they’re some of my favorite. And the beauty of it is that they’re super easy to prepare. You’ll also find them in most coffee shops.
