A cup of joe or tea that’s so creamy and frothy, it can take the place of eating breakfast if you’re trying to reduce calories or gently wake up your digestion when you’re intermittent fasting. Using MCT oil provides your brain and body with long-lasting fuel and balances the caffeine.
Add the coffee, coconut oil, coconut milk, cinnamon, and collagen, if using, to a tall mug. Blend together with a milk frother or spoon. Alternatively, use a blender to blend well.

This is how almond milk is supposed to taste: rich and nutty, not watered down. You may never buy commercial almond milk again!
Soak the almonds overnight in enough water to cover. Remove the skins and rinse.
Place the almonds, 4 to 5 cups water (less for thicker milk), and salt in a blender. Blend until smooth. Line a bowl with a double layer of cheesecloth or a clean thin dish towel and pour in the almond mixture. Gather the edges of the cheesecloth or towel and twist to squeeze out as much liquid as possible.
Pour the almond milk into a glass jar, seal, and store in the refrigerator for 5 to 7 days.
Notes
Hazelnuts, macadamias, pecans, and walnuts can also be used. Pecans and walnuts only need about 4 hours of soaking.
