FAQ
Can I make this without a blender?
While a blender creates the best texture, you can vigorously whisk the ingredients, though the result will be less smooth and creamy.
What if I don't have MCT oil?
Substitute with coconut oil at room temperature, though MCT oil provides better energy benefits and blends more easily.
How long will this keep in the fridge?
Best consumed immediately, but can be refrigerated up to 2 days. Re-blend before serving as ingredients may separate.
