Drinking coffee or tea is not a requirement of the keto diet. It can provide you with a great way to get some extra fats and energy, but it is not necessary.

If you like the idea of getting a fat-filled energy boost in with your morning beverage, consider drinking a keto smoothie or milkshake instead:

• Keto Tropical Smoothie
• Peanut Butter Caramel Milkshake
• Blueberry Banana Bread Smoothie
• McKeto Strawberry Milkshake
• Cucumber Spinach Smoothie
• Blackberry Chocolate Shake

They are delicious, filling, and have plenty of ketone boosting MCTs.

Some common keto-friendly hot beverage alternatives you can also try are bone broth and herbal tea. You can even blend either one up with a keto-friendly sweetener and fats of your choice (e.g., MCTs, coconut oil, butter, and/or heavy cream) or a keto friendly creamer if you’d like.
