Ingredients
  • 12 oz Freshly Brewed Coffee
  • 1-2 tbsp Unsalted Butter (Grass-fed)
  • 1-2 tbsp MCT Oil
  • 1-2 tbsp Optional: Heavy Cream
  • to taste Optional: Erythritol or Stevia

Brew the Coffee

Begin by brewing 12 ounces of your favorite coffee. Ensure it's freshly brewed for the best flavor and temperature. A dark roast generally works well but choose a roast you enjoy.

Combine Ingredients

Pour the hot coffee into a blender. Add 1-2 tablespoons of unsalted, grass-fed butter and 1-2 tablespoons of MCT oil. If desired, add 1-2 tablespoons of heavy cream and/or your preferred keto-friendly sweetener to taste.

Blend Until Frothy

Blend the mixture on high speed for 20-30 seconds, or until it becomes creamy and frothy. The blending process is crucial to emulsify the fats and create a smooth, latte-like texture.

Serve Immediately

Pour the Bulletproof Coffee into a mug and enjoy immediately. The coffee should be creamy and rich, providing sustained energy throughout the morning.

FAQ

  • Can I use coconut oil instead of MCT oil?

    Yes, you can use coconut oil, but MCT oil is more effective at promoting ketosis. Coconut oil contains MCTs, but it also contains other fats.
  • I don't have a blender. Can I still make this?

    While a blender is ideal for emulsifying the fats, you can use a frother or whisk vigorously. The texture will be less smooth.
  • Is Bulletproof Coffee a complete breakfast?

    Bulletproof Coffee primarily provides fats and some calories but lacks protein and micronutrients. It's not a complete breakfast nutritionally, so ensure you get adequate protein and nutrients from other meals.
