Are you wondering what on earth a Rocket-Fuel latte is? Basically, I discovered them after I had a pretty adverse reaction to the classic “Bulletproof Coffee”. The Rocket Fuel Latte is a great took for those that are looking for a healthy, balanced Keto approach to shift your body into burning fat as fuel instead of carbohydrates as its primary source of fuel. However, the Rocket Fuel Latte is not a new idea but was used by the Amazonian Indians as a stimulant and a Rocket Fuel Latte today is often defined as a strong full-flavored intense coffee to promote energy and satiation.
I like to think of a Rocket Fuel Latte like you took a healthy whole-foods superfood exilir and married it to the science behind a Bulletproof coffee for the desired result you want on Keto but with the benefits of whole foods and really supporting your health long-term versus for short-term health goals. I don’t like to load unhealthy fats in my body for the sake of hitting macros, so these Rocket Fuel Lattes meet the daily fat intake needs but in a way that feels good in your body, plus so many other added benefits.
First, they taste awesome! If you are struggling with removing your sugary Starbucks latte when following a Keto, Paleo, or low-carb diet these provide that rich and creamy fix using foods that support health. This, in turn, reduces cravings and enables you to succeed with your health goals with ease. Secondly, by using plant-based fats such as coconut butter and MCT oil instead of cow butter it can be easier on the liver and digestive system for those that felt nauseous or sick on the Bulletproof Coffee or “Butter Coffee’s” that typically follow a traditional Keto diet.
The protein source in many of my keto recipes is Hemp Seeds or Collagen. Sometimes I like to incorporate both into a latte or rotate between the two. If you are interested in the benefits of Collagen Proteins, check out my bone Broth Blog post here. I enjoy using Bone Broth or if I do buy a powdered form, I like Vital Proteins for their quality products.
