Within our keto community, there is a top 5 request for just about everything; this is the top 5 requested keto drinks for summer – non-alcoholic edition.
[Note: GO (power powder) is my go-to for ready made Summer Drinks. However, I always love variety when I have time to whip one up!)
Nothing says “summer” like a few distinct flavors, much how like the fall and pumpkin go hand in hand!
So, let’s get right into it!
Keto Drinks for Summer
Keto Cold Brew
Coffee is THE most important beverage in many many people’s routines, and a good cold brew is perfect for those warm (or hot) summer days.
Ingredients:
- Prepared fresh coffee, chilled
- Whole cream to taste.
- Sweetener to taste.
Optional: Flavored sugar free syrups.
Instructions:
- Whatever your most used method is for preparing a great cup or pot of coffee is, is what you should stick with. Many prefer to prepare a pot and refrigerate it once it cools. The same can be done with a cup of coffee made with your Kurig, Espresso maker, instant coffee, whatever you use.
- Store the coffee overnight or up to 3 days in the refrigerator (this is why most prefer to make a pot of coffee).
- When ready to drink it, fill a glass or favorite tumbler with ice, pour coffee over the ice and add whole cream or a non-dairy keto approved milk beverage of choice.
- You can add sugar-free flavored sweeteners to taste.
- For some extra keto-ness, add some MCT oil!
- Enjoy!
Keto Raspberry Lemonade
