What is Bulletproof Coffee?

Benefits of starting your day with 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.

Benefits of Bulletproof Coffee:

• Coffee usually gives you a caffeine buzz in the beginning, but can also lead to a crash later on. This recipe will 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

Be sure to see the recipe card below for full ingredients & instructions!

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 totally optional.

1. Brew a pot of coffee as you normally would. 
2. Mix coffee, butter, MCT oil (and salt & cinnamon if using) into a blender
3. 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.

Add-In Ideas

• 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, especially if you usually drink coffee on an empty stomach.

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.

Keto Coffee Variations

This simple recipe is a go-to, but I have a couple other keto coffee recipes that I love too! So if you’re looking for some variations and other ideas, try my Vanilla Keto Coffee Recipe and my Coffee Smoothie version (yes! a coffee smoothie!).

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!
