3 Health Benefits of This Salted Caramel Keto Frappuccino

#1: Boosts Physical Performance

There’s nothing worse than getting to the gym and realizing that you just don’t have the energy to do your workout.

Your mind is with you, but your body is saying no.

While there are many supplements you can take to boost your performance and kick things into high-gear, caffeine may be the most simple and effective tool.

In a meta-analysis of 40 double-blind studies, researchers found that consuming caffeine improved physical performance by 12%. This was especially true for people performing endurance exercise.

In essence, the participants in the caffeine group found that their time to exhaustion was significantly greater than the placebo group[*].

#2: Enhances Heart Health

You know the world is on your side when a craving for chocolate results in a benefit to your heart health.

Cocoa is one of those fantastic ingredients that doubles as a medicinal plant. In fact, records of human consumption of cocoa date back to 1000 BC[*].

Cocoa contains plant compounds called flavanols, which are known for their heart-health boosting properties. In fact, consumption of cocoa is correlated with a reduced risk for coronary heart disease and stroke.

It seems as though cocoa (via its flavanol compounds) may assist in reducing your blood pressure, improves the function of your blood vessels, and reduces blood clotting. That’s quite a lot for one plant.

It’s likely the antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activity of flavanols that create these health benefits[*].

#3: Supports Brain Function

This is not the frappuccino you’ll find at Starbucks.

Aside from the fact that it only has three grams of carbs per serving, this frappuccino has a secret ingredient — ketones.

Specifically, you’re getting a boost of the ketone body beta-hydroxybutyrate (BHB).

The benefits of this ketone basically make up the entire reason you’re following a keto diet in the first place. It acts as both an anti-inflammatory agent and antioxidant, and research shows it may even boost brain function.

While research continues on this fascinating energy source, one proposed mechanism for BHB’s effect on neurological function is the anti-inflammatory activity.

It’s even been suggested as a possible treatment for Alzheimer’s disease[*].

Salted Caramel Keto Frappuccino

When the sun’s out, there’s nothing like an iced cold coffee drink to get your morning started. Cold brew coffee and iced coffee are great — but this keto frappuccino is excellent.

And here’s the best part;

The sugar-free caramel flavor comes packed with exogenous ketones that will set your energy soaring.

You could even add in some MCT oil powder, heavy whipping cream, or coconut milk for an extra creamy frappuccino.
