Benefits of starting your day with this Bulletproof Coffee Recipe

There are a lot of benefits to this drink over other types of coffee, especially for those following a paleo or keto diet. Many people swear by the health benefits of making coffee with butter.

Coffee usually gives you a caffeine buzz in the beginning, but can also lead to a crash later on. It is meant to give you a longer, steadier boost of energy.
Healthy fats from butter & MCT oil help to stop food cravings that often happen when drinking coffee. So theoretically it could help you lose weight.
Without getting too scientific, MCTs are saturated fatty acids that are easier to digest than other types of fat, so it is great for digestion.
Generally, the MCT oil in bulletproof coffee will help you feel full & satisfied, will give you more energy, and give you a clear, focused mind.

How to Make Bullet Coffee – Step by Step

It’s so easy to make! Easy enough that you can make it every single morning without too many extra steps. Stock up on the necessary ingredients (coffee, grass-fed butter, and MCT oil), and you’ll have everything ready to get your day started with a boost of energy. I also added in pink salt and ground cinnamon to add some more flavor, but they are not required.

Brew a pot of coffee as you normally would.
Mix coffee, butter, MCT oil (and salt & cinnamon if using) into a blender
Blend until smooth and serve hot

What is MCT Oil and what are the benefits?

MCT stands for medium chain triglycerides or medium chain fatty acids. This type of fat is most often derived from coconut oil or palm oil.

MCT oil is colorless, odorless, and stays liquid at room temperature, which makes it perfect for blending into drinks, smoothies, and other recipes. It’s great for added energy and a sharper brain! Other benefits of MCT oil include:

Suppresses hunger
Provides quick/clean energy
Can help you lose unwanted fat
Supports immune health

What is Pink Salt and why is it healthy?

Pink Himalayan sea salt contains over 84 minerals and trace elements, including calcium, magnesium, potassium, copper and iron, so it’s more than just a flavoring for meals and recipes. I love the little zip (plus all the minerals!) it adds to this recipe, but it’s totally optional.

What are some optional add-ins?

There are so many options for how to jazz up this recipe. Here are a few things we have tried in our morning routine.

Unsweetened cocoa powder
Protein Powders
Collagen Peptides
Stevia or Agave Nectar for a bit of sweetness

What makes this coffee recipe Keto Friendly?

Those following a ketogenic diet focus on high-fat, low-carb. So keto coffee generally refers to any coffee that is keto-friendly, i.e. a recipe that contains healthy fats and no sugars. Drinking black coffee is fine on this diet, but adding healthy fats, as in this bulletproof coffee recipe, makes it a better option than regular coffee.

Coffee with butter might sound strange at first, but it’s not as crazy as it sounds! Adding a pat of butter to your coffee can add a good dose of healthy fat to your diet first thing in the mornings. This helps give you energy so that you don’t end up with a caffeine crash. Butter also makes your coffee super creamy, like the best latte.

I hope you guys try this recipe. The bulletproof coffee benefits should be enough to convince you (healthy fats, steady energy, sign me up!), but don’t forget that it’s super tasty too! If you’ve never tried coffee with butter, then now is the time. You’ll be surprised by how delicious it is, even better than milk or cream.

Most of my life, Ive thought coffee was too bitter and the thinness of it made the bitterness intolerable to my taste palate. I didnt use this recipe exactly, but i made the same basic bulletproof coffee. 10 fl oz of water to a boil, poured over two tbsp of maxwell house coffee. Steeped for five minutes, and then pressed for 30 seconds. I then poured it over 2 tbsp kerrygold butter and 1tbsp mct oil in my blender bottle. I then shook vigorously(activating my rotator cuffs) for about 45 seconds until a super aesthetically pleasing foam was on top and the liquid was a beautiful golden hue. I am surprised how much I like this. There is still bitterness, but it is so soothing mixed with the most velvety, creamy texture. I want to thank you for the suggestion of adding salt(reason for this review). Wouldnt have thought to include that. I use celtic gray salt instead of pink himalayan. Amazing recipe for a delicious, healthful morning drink by a very delightful blogger. Thank you Becky. Happy health to you and your body for an indefinite stretch of time.

This is wonderful! I’m so happy to hear that :) :)
