Make your mocha like the baristas do. Drizzle the chocolate syrup down the sides of your cup, pour in your keto mocha. Then top with whipped cream and drizzle more chocolate syrup on top.

What Is MCT Oil?

MCT stands for medium chain triglycerides that has about 8-10 carbons in length in a fatty acid chain. When you are on the keto diet MCT oils are immediately used as fuel since there is not much digestion that takes place when you consume it.

Blender Vs Frother To Mix Your Mocha

To mix up your mocha, you can either use a blender or a handheld frother. I prefer a blender as it produces a frothy coffee that using a handheld frother. A frother is more convenient when you are on the go or don’t have a blender.

Keto Mocha: FAQS

Can I use regular milk instead of heavy cream or nut milk in this recipe?

While heavy cream and nut milk are preferred for a keto-friendly option, you can use regular milk. Just keep in mind that it will increase the carbohydrate content.

What can I substitute for MCT oil?

If you don't have MCT oil, coconut oil is a great substitute. It will still keep your keto mocha creamy and delicious!

How can I store any leftover mocha?

If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. Just give it a good stir or reheat before enjoying again!

Can I make this mocha without a sweetener?

Absolutely! If you prefer it unsweetened, simply omit the sweetener. The cocoa powder and coffee will still provide a rich flavor.

Is this recipe suitable for a dairy-free diet?

Yes! You can easily make it dairy-free by using nut milk instead of heavy cream and ensuring your cocoa powder is dairy-free.
