Keto Friendly Coffee Options to Order at a Cafe

Keto Friendly Coffee Options to Order at a Cafe

August 24, 2023
Keto Friendly Coffee Options to Order at a Cafe

How to stick to a keto diet, and still drink coffee out at a cafe. We have listed out all the options on what you can order, whilst sticking to your diet.

The keto diet has gained widespread popularity due to its many health benefits such as weight loss, increased energy levels and improved mental clarity. However, sticking to this low-carb, high-fat diet can be challenging for many people. 

It requires avoiding foods like breads, pastries, pastas, alcohol, potatoes and sugary treats that most of us love. While some individuals may find it easier to consume high-fat foods in their daily meals, they often make the mistake of choosing drinks that are loaded with carbs – such as milkshakes, carbonated beverages or fruit juices – which can quickly undo their hard work. 

 

Even alcoholic drinks can contain hidden sugars that go against the principles of a successful keto diet. As a result, it’s important to carefully choose your liquid intake while on the keto plan by opting for low-carb options like water with lemon juice or unsweetened tea instead!

 

CAN YOU DRINK COFFEE ON THE KETO DIET?

Yes, but it depends how you drink it. Coffee is well-known for its caffeine content, which can help trigger the burning of fat in the body. 

 

However, it also encourages the burning of carbohydrates and sugars rather than fat and ketones, which runs counter to the principles of a ketogenic diet. 

 

Quitting coffee cold turkey can be a daunting task due to withdrawal symptoms such as headaches. Whether you’re an avid coffee drinker or not, it’s essential to carefully consider how this beverage fits into your overall dietary plan if you are following a keto diet. 

 

WHAT COFFEE CAN I ORDER AT A CAFE ON THE KETO DIET?

Black Coffee (no milk)

Black coffee is super low in calories. However, its benefits go well beyond just the calorie count. Black coffee can aid in keeping you focused and alert throughout your day. Black coffee on it’s own will not take you out of ketosis.

 

Short Black:

An espresso shot or a “short black” is just a shot of coffee with nothing added to it. An espresso is great when you just want to enjoy the pure taste of your coffee, or when you want that extra pick-me-up but don’t feel like the milk of a regular coffee. 

 

Long Black:

Not a fan of milk in your coffee? This is the way to go. Aromatic with a strong base, the long black is any coffee lovers go-to wake up call! Many people order a long black with a side of cold milk, so then they can add a touch in to take the edge off.

 

Americano:

It is a diluted espresso with a much more intense taste. It refers to a warm Italian drink cited as “American coffee”. It’s not so popular in Australia, but as the name suggests it is popular in USA.

 

Coffee with Full Cream milk

If you’re following a keto diet, you’ll be pleased to know that full cream milk is an excellent option for you. 

 

Despite what might seem like a contradiction – milk being high in fat content – it’s actually the good kind of fats that make it so suitable for this diet. 

 

Full cream milk offers plentiful and valuable nutrients while also supporting your body’s requirements for healthy fats on your low-carb journey. 

 

So go ahead and indulge in some full cream goodness with confidence knowing that it can help keep you fueled and energized whilst adhering to your diet restrictions.

 

Latte:

An espresso drink with brewing milk finished with a splash of foam. ‘Latte’ in Italian means milk, so it is a milky coffee.

 

Flat White:

A thick espresso drink with lightly frosted milk. Similar to a cappuccino, but no chocolocate on top. Normally served in a cup with a handle.

 

Iced coffee (no sugar, no cream):

A simple one, iced coffee includes coffee with ice, milk and cream. But to make it keto friendly, don’t add the cream, and no ice cream. It is totally yummy on a hot summer day or if you are looking for a special treat.

 

Doppio:

Doppio is a warm drink with two espresso shots.

 

Lungo:

An espresso with a long pull or prolonged extraction. It is like a long black, but with some extra boiling water.

 

Cold Brew (no sugar):

This iced coffee is a smooth, refreshing beverage by steeping finely ground coffee in chilled water. It is made cold, and never heated hence why it’s called a ‘cold’ brew, because it’s brewed cold.  Just make sure you aren’t adding in any sugar.

 

Coffee with Sugar-Free Sweeteners

Sugar free sweeteners such as stevia can be an excellent alternative to traditional sugar. Normal sugar could pull you out of ketosis. Stevia is derived from plants, and boasting practically zero calories, these natural sweeteners are a perfect complement to any keto meal plan.

 

 Not only do they add flavour without the unwanted calories, but they also help maintain steady blood sugar levels throughout the day for optimal health benefits. 

 

KETO COFFEE FAQS

What can I put in my coffee for keto?

Milk, coconut oil or grass-fed butter to add healthy fats, as well as incorporating a low-carb protein powder for an added boost. And if you’re craving something sweet, opt for a natural sweetener like stevia instead of sugar-laden syrups. 

The possibilities are endless when it comes to crafting a delicious and satisfying keto coffee recipe – don’t be afraid to experiment with different mix-ins until you find what works best for you.

Does keto coffee have milk?

Yes, milk is fine in coffee for a keto diet, as milk is a healthy fat.

What makes coffee not keto?

Nothing. Regular coffee is keto coffee.

Can you drink almond milk on keto?

Unsweetened almond milk is a great, keto-friendly option, as it’s low in carbs.
