Have you heard of this? It's called "bulletproof coffee" and is becoming increasingly popular. I first read about it here, Bulletproof Coffee, and it is popular among people looking to get healthy fats in the morning. The idea being that your metabolism will be inspired to burn more body fat and you'll have a more energetic morning, without eating breakfast! That's highly oversimplified but follow the link to read more.
I decided to make my own version and I'm starting small to ease my way in.
16 oz Starbucks Espresso roast brewed in moka pot
1 tsp cocoa powder
1 tsp coconut oil
1 tsp ghee (clarified butter) I know, whacky!
Put ingredients in bottom of blender. Mix on low for 15 seconds (try not to wake your sleeping two year old)
The ingredients can be ramped up to over a Tbspn of the coconut oil and ghee but I wanted to see if I liked it first. I do! I only tasted a hint of the coconut in the coffee, Starbucks espresso roast which was already delicious, just tasted a little sweeter (no doubt due to the added butter). I did feel the energy boost too, it felt like I had had two cups of coffee instead of my usual one. I'll be bumping up the ingredients to see how far I can take this. Highly recommended!
