Why Dairy-Free Coffee?
Creating a dairy-free coffee recipe solves two problems -
- It helps those who are dairy intolerant
- It is far far lower in carbs than a milky latte or cappuccino
How do you make coffee when dairy intolerant? For those who need to go dairy-free, opting for soy milk is out of the question (it's still so controversial due to the possible dangers of phytoestrogens) plus it's often packed with sugar. Nut milk isn't true milk but very dilute nut juice with sugar, additives, thickeners and preservatives. Rice milk and oat milk are often high in carbs and ultra-processed.
How many carbs are there in coffee? Coffee is life. That morning cuppa livens you up but have you ever calculate how many carbs are in a milky coffee? Too many.
So coconut dairy-free coffee is the perfect solution.
Want to know why you should avoid milky coffees? Just LOOK at this handy guide to carbs on coffee. Never touch them again. #ditchthecarbsThere are only 4g total carbs / 100ml full-fat milk, but the problem lies in the VOLUME of milk that is required to make a milky coffee such as a latte, cappuccino or a flat white.
Once I discovered the carbs in a latte, I soon switched to a creamy coffee. Why? Because a creamy coffee only requires a cup of long black or filter coffee 0g + 1-2 tbsp cream = 1g carbs
Here's a handy comparison chart I made for you.

Dairy-Free Coffee - is it possible?
When switching to a dairy-free keto lifestyle, giving up your favourite coffee can be a challenge. Especially when you love a rich, creamy latte with some froth on top.
Instead of giving in to temptation, mix up a healthy coconut keto coffee. It is made with cinnamon, vanilla, and coconut cream to give you a rich and spicy flavour you will love sipping. The coconut cream is full of healthy fat that will help you stay full longer and want to snack less.
What You Need to Make Coconut Keto Coffee
You will only need six ingredients to make this coffee: water, instant coffee, coconut cream, vanilla, cinnamon, and your sweetener of choice. The cinnamon gives your coffee the perfect amount of spice, but you can easily switch it for a different spice if you want.
Some other spices you make like in your coffee is nutmeg, ginger, or ground turmeric. Give them a try and see which ones are your favourite. You could also add a mixture of spices to keep your coffee interesting each morning.

This is great, but I also love the variation that includes chocolate.
What if you substitute the cinnamon for 1 tablespoon of Dutch cacao and reduce the coffee by half?
Whizz and enjoy the same way - keep a long-handled spoon handy to get the last bits of foam out of the blender!
Cheers!
