If you want the full coffeehouse experience, top your coffee with a dollop of sugar free whipped cream and a drizzle of chocolate syrup. 
MCT stands for medium chain triglycerides – fatty acids with about 8-10 carbons in length. Your body uses them almost immediately as fuel since there’s not much digestion involved. That’s why they’re a staple in low carb and keto eating.
Are you more of an iced coffee person? Sometimes I am too, especially when it’s hot outside. This mocha can easily be turned into an iced version – just mix as instructed, then pour over ice.
To mix up your mocha, you can use a blender or a handheld frother. I prefer a blender because it makes the coffee frothier. A frother is more convenient when you’re on the go or don’t have a blender.
This was surprisingly creamy and satisfying. I used my regular brewed coffee and subbed in granulated Lakanto by dissolving it in a bit of hot coffee before blending. Still turned out smooth and chocolaty. Love that it's low carb too.
This sounds so good. Iād love to make it. I only have the Lakanto granulated sugar not the liquid. Is there a way I can make this work?
It should be fine also long as the sweetener dissolves...which I think it should in the hot liquid.
