Low Carb Keto Bulletproof Tea

…That Didn’t Spike My Blood Sugar

The First Time I Tried Bulletproof Tea…

I’ll be honest—I was skeptical. I love my coffee, but some mornings caffeine hits too hard. I needed something lighter but still satisfying enough to hold me until my first meal (thanks, intermittent fasting). This tea version? Total game-changer. Warm, creamy, and just enough fat to switch on my brain without wrecking my gut.

Tried a few fails first: oily top layer, weak flavor, butter blobs floating like sad icebergs. Fixed that. Now it’s frothy, rich, and actually good.

What Makes This Feel Like Real Food

Most bulletproof drinks taste… oily. Or they separate into weird layers that scream “this isn’t normal.” This one works because:

• Hot tea + blender = emulsified magic. It turns the butter and MCT oil into a smooth, latte-like texture.
• Butter rounds it out. Gives body and flavor that just MCT oil alone can’t.
• Customizable base. Want a pick-me-up? Use black tea. Want chill mode? Go herbal. You stay in control.

What I Used (And Why It Worked)

• 1 tea bag or 1 tsp loose tea – Black, green, chai, or rooibos. Just avoid weak blends or fruity teas with hidden carbs.
• 300ml / 10oz hot water – Enough to steep well and blend into a full cup.
• 7g / ½ tbsp unsalted butter – Adds fat for satiety, plus a creamy mouthfeel. Salted works, but can overpower delicate teas.
• 7g / ½ tbsp MCT oil – Brain fuel, fast energy. Start small if you’re not used to it (or you’ll really get things moving).

Keto Swaps That Actually Work

Swap	Result	Notes
Coconut oil instead of MCT	Still creamy, slight coconut taste	Less “kick” than MCT
Ghee instead of butter	Richer, nuttier	Good for dairy-sensitive folks
Herbal tea	Calming, caffeine-free	Won’t energize, but great before bed

What Went Sideways (And Why)

What Went Wrong	Why It Happens	How to Fix It
Oily film on top	Not blended enough	Use a blender or frother—don’t stir with a spoon
Upset stomach	Too much MCT oil too fast	Start with 1 tsp and work up
Weak taste	Tea was too light	Use a bold, strong tea (black or chai work best)

How to Make It (Step-by-Step)

1. Brew your tea – Steep 1 bag or 1 tsp loose tea in hot water for 3–5 minutes. Stronger is better here.
2. Add your fats – Pour into a blender (or use a tall mug and frother). Add butter and MCT oil.
3. Blend until frothy – You want it creamy, no oil spots floating on top.
4. Serve hot – This does not reheat well unless you re-blend.

I portion it as a single 10 oz serving—it’s easy to track and doesn’t mess with my macros.

Tricks That Made This Work Better

• I pre-measure my MCT oil into mini squeeze bottles for easy use.
• I sometimes add 1/8 tsp cinnamon or a drop of vanilla extract for variety—zero carb, big flavor.
• If I know I’ll be out, I blend it, pour into a thermal mug, and drink it on the go. Just shake before sipping.

How I Store and Track It

Storage:
Not ideal for make-ahead, but if you must—cool it first, store in a jar in the fridge, and re-blend when reheating.

Tracking:
Net Carbs = 0g (yep, really)
Fat = 12.7g
Calories = 110
Protein = negligible

Real Keto Questions, Real Answers

Will this spike blood sugar?
Nope. No carbs, no sweeteners, just fats and tea. You’re safe.

Can I use coconut oil instead of MCT?
Yes, but MCT gives more mental energy and digests quicker.

Do I need to blend it?
If you want creamy instead of greasy? Yes. Blending emulsifies the fats so they actually mix.
