How to Maximize Your Iced Keto Americano Experience:
- CHOOSE QUALITY COLD BREW: A great iced keto americano starts with top-notch coffee! Whether you choose to brew your own cold brew coffee or purchase a cold brew concentrate, always look for the organic, Fair Trade certified labels.
- USE CREAMY VANILLA MCT Oil: Not only does this essential ingredient create a creamy, rich vanilla americano, but it also boasts an impressive list of brain-boosting benefits! MCTs break down rapidly in the body to provide fuel for the brain, resulting in enhanced focus, improved recall, and a quick energy boost (among many other benefits)!
- NO BLENDING REQUIRED: Unlike our original 100% Pure Coconut MCT Oil, Creamy MCT Oil is specifically designed to mix easily into beverages with just a spoon! Simply shake your bottle of Creamy MCT Oil before use, then add 1 tablespoon to your cold brew and stir until evenly mixed.

FAQ — Iced Keto Americano
- How much MCT oil should I use in iced keto coffee? Start with 1 teaspoon. As your system adapts, you can increase to 1 tablespoon.
- Will this break a fast? Adding MCT oil may technically break a fast, but in keto practices, many still benefit from fat oxidation and remain in a “fasted fat-burning state.”
- Can I use plain MCT oil instead of Creamy Vanilla? Yes, you can use a neutral MCT oil. However, Creamy Vanilla MCT Oil offers a richer mouthfeel and blends more smoothly in cold beverages.
