Do I need a blender?

Yes, a blender is key to emulsify the fats with the coffee and create a creamy, frothy texture.

Can I use decaf coffee?

Absolutely, it will still have the same creamy, rich taste without caffeine.

Is this drink keto-friendly?

Yes, if you use stevia or another low-carb sweetener, it’s fully keto-friendly.

Can I substitute collagen with something else?
