Bulletproof Coffee Benefits
There are a lot of benefits to bulletproof coffee 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. Bulletproof coffee 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.

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 Bulletproof Coffee Recipe.
What are some optional add-ins for Bulletproof Coffee?
There are so many options for how to jazz up this bulletproof coffee recipe. Here are a few things we have tried in our morning routine.
- Unsweetened cocoa powder
- Sugar Free Coffee Syrups
- Protein Powders
- Collagen Peptides
- Stevia or Agave Nectar for a bit of sweetness
What is keto coffee?
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.
Why do people put butter in their 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.
