Step 4: Prepare a mug with 2 shots espresso (or one shot if 2 shots is too much caffeine for you). Add the pumpkin spiced milk to espresso and alternatively for a bulletproof version you can add in 1 tbsp. MCT oil or 1 tbsp. full-fat coconut milk.
Step 5: If you want you can add to glass blender and blend for 10-20 seconds to make it more frothy and creamy. Sprinkle with pumpkin spice mix and enjoy!

Special Notes:
You make this recipe very thick and calorie rich if you use full fat coconut milk in the can or you can make it thinner by using the carton variety almond or coconut milk. The best ketogenic sweeteners to use include liquid stevia or you can use the lakanto liquid monk fruit extract.
Adding in a high quality C8 MCT oil such as our Keto Brain helps to make this recipe more ketogenic. The C8 MCT fat turns into ketones quickly in the body and helps provide immediate energy for the brain.
Dr Jockers Comments
This pumpkin spice latte recipe is a lower carb version of the traditional high sugar holiday favorite. We use healthy fats and natural sugar alternatives to provide great flavor and texture and an enjoyable experience while providing health benefits!
Coffee contains the polyphenolic antioxidant compounds caffeic and chlorogenic acids that help to improve blood sugar stability. These compounds will help the body get the sugar content from the pumpkin into the cells and will keep insulin levels under control. The healthy fats in this recipe will also provide a substrate for the production of ketones.

It says the cuisine is British, but then takes you to Amazon USA. We Brits don’t use pumpkin and I have never seen tins in our supermarkets.
