Bulletproof Coffee

Admittedly, this recipe takes effort and time. But so does getting in the car and then waiting in line at a coffee shop. The flavor is way better than anything you'll get in a coffee shop, and if you've read about the benefits of butter from grass-fed cows and MCT oil, then you'll appreciate the ingredients. Our personal recipe here is inspired by the great Dave Asprey and his book, The Bulletproof Diet.

Rikki's Bulletproof Coffee

2 rounded tablespoons ground coffee (I use Bulletproof brand)
14 ounces water at near boiling (195-205 degrees is ideal)
1 tablespoon unsalted butter from grass-fed cows (I use Kerrygold brand)
1 tablespoon coconut oil or MCT oil
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon unsweetened cocoa
1 teaspoon xylitol or monk fruit sweetener
1 tablespoon chocolate whey protein powder (I use Gold Standard 100% Whey)

Prepare the coffee using a French press: pour near-boiling water slowly over the ground coffee and let sit for four minutes. While you are waiting, add remaining ingredients (butter through whey powder) to a blender. When coffee is done brewing, pour coffee into the blender and secure the blender top. Blend at medium speed for 30 seconds. Pour into a cup and enjoy this creamy, delicious, filling treat.
