8 Delicious and Keto-friendly Coffee Add-ins

This post may contain affiliate links. Read full disclosure.

by RAKI WRIGHT

Coffee is one of the most keto-friendly beverages you can make at home because it has no carbs. Sometimes, you enjoy coffee black, but other times, you crave the sweetness and creaminess of more decadent or flavorful coffee drinks.

However, you have to be careful that what you add to your coffee also follows the keto diet rules. 

To stick to the keto requirements, be sure to select low-sugar, low-carb, and high-fat ingredients to add to your morning cup. Luckily, there are many flavorful, keto-friendly options out there that you can enjoy while keeping your daily carb intake in check.

  1. Assorted Spices

A mix of your favorite organic spices can add an authentic, earthy taste to your everyday coffee. Spice it up with cinnamon, which is tasty and blends perfectly with the natural flavor of the mocha coffee. Cinnamon is a keto-friendly option that, according to research, may help with other health goals like reducing blood glucose and bad cholesterol levels. 

You can also add ginger and nutmeg to achieve a warm, organic flavor. For a creamy drink, introduce a keto-friendly creamer or milk alternative along with the spice of your choice. 

  1. Unsweetened Cocoa Powder

A dash of cacao powder can introduce a lovely texture and flavor to your coffee. Cacao is itself a healthy, keto-friendly option with plenty of benefits, especially from its antioxidant properties.

To avoid elevating your blood sugar levels, choose a pure cacao powder without any artificial sweeteners. Adding a keto-friendly, high or full-fat creamer or milk alternative provides some texture and taste to your favorite morning beverage.

  1. Coconut Milk

What makes coconut milk a perfect match for a keto-friendly beverage is its high-fat, low-carb content. One ounce of fresh coconut milk offers 7 grams of fat and just 1.5 grams of carbohydrates. It’s a healthy option for adding a creamy texture to your coffee. 

  1. Unsweetened Almond Milk

For a switch from dairy milk to a plant-based option, try adding unsweetened almond milk to your coffee. You’ll get a nutty taste from an ingredient that also offers vital nutrients like vitamin E and magnesium. 

The add-in perfectly fits into your keto diet as it only contains about 1.4 grams of carbs per 8-ounce pour. This low-calorie and low-sugar option also offers 37 percent of the recommended daily calcium dose, making it ideal for boosting bone health.    

  1. Buttery Keto Creamer

When you’re craving a beverage that’s a little more textured and flavorful, try adding a low-carb keto coffee creamer made with grass-fed butter and medium-chain triglyceride (MCT) oil. 

If you want a creamer that contains only plant-based fats, such as cacao nut butter and no added sugar. Nuts are excellent fat, fiber, and protein sources and are associated with cardiovascular health and other benefits. Feel free to add almond milk and spice it up with ginger or cinnamon for a warm, creamy feel.  

  1. Homemade “Skinny” Simple Syrups

You can make keto-friendly simple syrups at home and create an authentic flavor profile to add to your morning coffee. As for the main ingredient, you’ll need a low-carb, low-calorie sweetener. Allulose, which many people say has the taste and texture of sugar, is a good option. 

Next, mix equal parts allulose and water and heat the mixture while stirring to dissolve. To add more flavor, you can add cinnamon sticks or a ginger root into the simmering syrup. You may then stop heating the mixture and let it cool.  

  1. Heavy Cream

Heavy whipping cream is another excellent option to add a creamy flavor to your coffee. It’s high in fat and low in carbs, making it ideal for keto dieters who want their coffee denser and a little more textured. With heavy whipping cream, you can get many essential nutrients, including vitamin A, which helps strengthen the immune system.

  1. Grass-fed Ghee

Ghee, which is sourced from grass-fed cows, is rich in fat and low in carbs, making it an ideal keto-friendly coffee creamer. This butter alternative comes with multiple flavor options, including cinnamon, cacao, and vanilla. 

Be sure to use a product without preservatives or added sugar. Likewise, some of the healthiest grass-fed ghee options include no lactose or gluten.

Coffee Add-ins Without Compromise

When you’re on a keto diet, a cup of pure black coffee gives you a boost each morning. However, you can enrich your favorite beverage with some healthy and delicious keto-friendly add-ins that vary in texture and taste. Look for low-carb, high-fat creamers and spice options to avoid conflict with your ketogenic diet plan.
