A grande vanilla whole milk latte has close to 40 grams of carbs. Let that sink in for a minute.

As I ponder on this fact, I longingly think back to the time (which was last week…Meh) when I had those decadent foamy lattes with the side of a warm croissant, guilt-free. Aarghh…well, no one said a lifestyle redo is fun or not depressing. LOL

My morning latte is an absolute must, can’t live without it. But if this one item in my daily menu comes close to my net-carb limit for the day, I know we have a problem. Needless to say, our cafe’ runs have stopped. 

At least we are saving some $, I try to glass-is-half-full myself. 

As I search high-low for alternatives, I come across, what is referred to as a “bulletproof coffee” (you would think someone who came up with a recipe for a guilt-free latte could have thought of a better name for it…oh well)

Believe me, you would be surprised as to how yummy it tastes. And the best part, the fats in the coffee curbs your appetite like magic. Seriously. I can go without eating for at least 6 hours after. Don’t judge before you try it.

I Used:

 

• 8 Oz Almond Milk
• 2-4 Oz Espresso
• 1 tbsp Coconut Oil
• 1 tbsp Unsalted Butter
• 1/2 tsp Cinnamon
• 1/2 tsp Nutmeg

I Also Used:

• Magic Bullet Blender

How I Did It:

 

• You substitute milk with nut-milk, such as, almond milk, coconut milk etc. For one 8 Oz cup, whole milk has 10 grams of net-carbs, while Almond milk has less than 1 gram.
• Add some fat – I usually add 1 teaspoon of butter and 1 teaspoon of coconut oil
• Dress it up – I add a pinch of salt, a dash of cinnamon, nutmeg, vanilla extract or unsweetened cocoa powder
• Blend ‘em all – This is a must-do. Using a magic bullet or blender, blend all the ingredients into a smooth foamy drink. Drink hot.
