Pro Tips
• For the creamiest texture, use a high-speed blender. An immersion blender or a simple milk frother also works wonders to emulsify the fats and prevent an oily layer from forming on top.
• Ensure your coffee is hot when blending. This helps the coconut oil melt and combine seamlessly for a perfectly smooth, non-greasy drink.
• Customize your flavor by adding a dash of cinnamon, a pinch of nutmeg, or a teaspoon of unsweetened cocoa powder for a mocha twist.
• If your powders tend to clump, add them to the blender *after* the liquid to help them dissolve more easily.

A: An oily layer can form if the fats aren’t properly emulsified. For a creamy, non-greasy texture, use a high-speed blender, immersion blender, or milk frother. Blending the coffee while it’s hot is also key, as it helps the coconut oil melt and combine seamlessly.
