The ratios for this recipe can be adjusted to your taste. So, if you don’t like your coffee sweet, you cut back or skip the honey.
Ingredients:
Brew your favorite cup of coffee. Add 1-2 tbsp. of coconut oil coffee creamer to your coffee while it’s still hot. Then, blend the coffee and creamer on high for approximately 5 seconds. And you’re done!
How It Works
What makes coconut oil so special is because it contains medium-chain fatty acids, instead of long-chain fatty acids.
Medium chain fatty acids upon entering your body are quickly used for energy, which gives your metabolism a helpful boost (1).
In fact, one study has shown that eating 1 to 2 tablespoons of medium chain fats, such as coconut oil per day increased energy expenditure by 5% — this totals to 120 calories per day for an average person (2).
