how to make bulletproof coffee

I’m normally a breakfast fan.
We plan our breakfast menu right after dinner most nights.
I can hear my mother saying,”It’s the most important meal of the day.”
Plus, breakfast is delicious. Pancakes, eggs, waffles ALL good!
Lately, I find myself skipping it (sorry mom)
Our schedule has been CRAZY. Two kids in two different schools, with two different start times, means I make breakfast twice.
By the time I get them to school and clean -up, the last thing I want to do is make another breakfast for myself.
And to add another level of crazy, we are moving. But not an easy I found my dream house and can’t wait to move move. Our is more the I can’t find a single house I like so let’s move into our RV and build our own house move.
So I am packing two sets of boxes. Those we will need short term, and those that will be in storage until we build.
Like I said, it’s crazy town around here.
With so much that needs to get done, and in a hurry (we move next week), breakfast and sometimes lunch get pushed to the back of the line.
And that is where bulletproof coffee comes in handy.
Coffee with butter, or butter and coconut oil, may not sound like something you’d enjoy. I never thought I’d like my coffee with coconut oil, but it has completely replaced my need for milk or cream.
One cup of bulletproof coffee and I am energized and ready to go. NOT only does bulletproof coffee fill you up, but there’s NO crash mid-morning or afternoon.
I know that as soon as this craziness passes, I’ll be back to enjoying my breakfast, but for now I am all about the coffee.
Ingredients
- 1 cup of brewed coffee
- 1 Tbsp coconut oil
- 1 Tbsp grass fed unsalted butter
Instructions
- place your coconut oil and butter in a blender
- add hot coffee and blend thoroughly
a few tips for a delicious cup of bulletproof coffee
– use quality coffee beans
– place the oil and butter in the blender first, and then pour on the hot coffee
– blend thoroughly on high (I love using the soup feature on my Blendtec)
coffee served with an oil slick on top is NOT appealing, if blended properly your coffee will be creamy and smooth, and not at all oily
enjoy!
Oh my, I need all the details of your move!! Crazy!!
oh Dorothy – things are getting CRAZY!!
Moving?! You better have an awesome deck so you can share pictures of your fire and wine so I can get jealous like usual! For now I’ll be jealous of this insane coffee!
there will be a deck…eventually 🙂 thanks Julie
I love Bulletproof Coffee! It’s so good and is an easy way to get more healthy fats in your diet. I love your tutorial and the photos are beautiful, thanks for sharing!
thank you so much Susan
Two kids at two different schools and we are just moving back into our construction project. Good Luck! I probably could have used this coffee a lot this past year. I have been so tempted to make it but I haven’t taken the plunge. Maybe tomorrow?!
I envy you 🙂 I look forward to moving into our “project” but seeing as how we have not even started, that is not happening soon
Seriously LOVE bulletproof coffee! It’s so creamy and delicious. I don’t handle caffeine well so I usually make it decaf when defeats some of the purpose but it’s still a good dose of healthy fats!
thanks Lauren – I may need to try decaf soon – I’m a bit wired lately
Girl, I feel your pain and I need this coffee now. We are in the moving process–and are currently living out of a hotel with 2 kids and a dog until our house is ready later this week. It has been an insane way to start a new school year. I hope your move goes well.
yikes – hotel living is NO fun – we did that when we built our last home. hope your final move goes smoothly
I’ve heard nothing but good things about bulletproof coffee, yours sounds delicious!
thanks Marye – it really is SO much more delicious than it sounds 🙂
Gah! I hate moving! I wish you all the luck in the world getting through it.
And I have got to try this – no mid-morning crash you say? I’m in!
no crash at all! and I sure hope to never have to move again ever!!
I’ve seen this on TV and still cannot quite wrap my brain around it. Using coconut oil makes more sense to me. I am going to have to give it a try. I adore coffee.
I love my coffee too, and I was not sure how I would feel about the butter – but it makes a big difference
I have got to try this. I’m off sugar except for my creamer, that has been my holdout. I am going to try it.
I hope you enjoy! I was hooked after my first try
How interesting! I’ve never heard of this. I have heard of the benefits of adding coconut oil to your smoothies, but not coffee. I love it! I’ll have to get past the butter thing, is that necessary? PS, I’m in the EXACT same boat as you. We are living in a half packed house w boxes every where and have yet to find a house we want to call home 🙁
I had a hard time with the “butter” adding too, but it is a key – I’ve been making my coffee with coconut oil for a while, the butter is what keeps you full longer – but really if is it blended right, you would never know you were drinking butter – I hope you find a house soon 🙂
Wow this sounds amazing. I bet it is so smooth. I must try this out!
thanks Julia – it is SO smooth
First of all, we move every couple of years and the drama is no fun. Here’s wishing you as smooth a transition as possible. Second, this version of coffee sounds awesome!! This will definitely help you through any rough mornings ahead! Good luck!
I could NOT imagine doing this every few years – but it sure is an adventure 🙂 thanks dee dee
This sounds easy to make and a new taste of coffee for me, would definitely try this great recipe!
thanks so much! I love it
