Bullet Proof Coffee


Bullet Proof Coffee has been around for quite some time and is a very popular way of making your coffee currently. I had to finally see what all the buzz was about. 

So I did what I usually do.....I searched Pinterest and found a few different ways to make this amazing coffee and butter combination.

When I first heard about putting butter in your coffee I thought it sounded so bizarre! Why butter? You just throw butter in and whip it up? After my Pinterest research was done the number one consistent thing I found is this.....You can't just use any old butter that you find on a grocery store shelf. In order to get the quality positive fats that bullet proof coffee can provide you must use grass fed butter. 

Cows that are grass fed produce different types of fats than cows that are not grass fed. Grass fed products have positive health benefitting awesome positive fats! So you must use grass fed butter. 

I decided to also use coconut oil and coconut sugar. Other recipes I found recommend stevia and organiz maple syrup or coco powder to sweeten things up. I cut down on the butter portion compared to other recipes I was looking at. The first time I tried it using the recommended measurements it was way too heavy for my stomach to handle. So I cut the serving down in what was turned into my final recipe. 

Here is my journey making bullet proof coffee. Lol and truthfully as you're about to see it didn't go smoothly.



You will need the ingredients above:

1 Tablespoon grass fed butter
1/2 tablespoon coconut oil
1 tablespoon coconut sugar 




Put all of your ingredients into your blender cup. Brew your coffee. I brew 10oz of coffee.




LOL and the next step would be to blend it all together!! As you can see.....blending didn't go as smoothly as I would have liked. I typically use a ninja blender....but my mom was getting rid of her nutrobullet and this was the first time I used it! I blended it and it all came leaking out! I have no idea why lol and my us and tested it afterward with water in it and no leaks! Soooo my theory is that maybe it was because the liquid was hot? I will try again tomorrow and see what happens.....




Despite my blended blunder....I still managed to save a good portion of my delicious bullet proof coffee creation! It's delicious, creamy and just a tad bit of sweetness
