📝 What You’ll Need
No fancy tools! Just a blender and 6 ingredients:
Ingredient | Why It Works | Keto Swap Tip |
---|---|---|
Cold brew coffee | Smoother taste than hot coffee | Use 1 tsp instant coffee + water |
Heavy cream | Makes it creamy & keto-friendly | Coconut milk for dairy-free |
Erythritol | Sweetens without carbs | Monk fruit or stevia work too |
Vanilla extract | Adds dessert flavor | Try almond extract for a twist |
Ice cubes | Makes it thick & frosty | Use coffee ice cubes for extra kick |
Cocoa powder | Optional chocolate boost | Skip if you want plain coffee |
Don’t have erythritol? A mashed banana adds sweetness but has more carbs—good for a “lazy keto” day!
