How to Make the Revolutionary Healthy, Tasty Bulletproof Coffee!

I learned about Bulletproof Coffee this summer, and I have to tell you the idea was a little strange to me.  However, the person telling me was absolutely raving about it, so I decided to give it a try.  I got up one morning and made this delicious concoction of healthy oils that our body loves and super high quality antioxidant coffee and I was in LOVE!!!!  It is so delicious and creamy and it was exactly what my body was craving in the morning...and a little later in the afternoon :)

So here's the scoop.  Bulletproof coffee was created by this fellow named Dave Asprey.  He got the idea after traveling to Tibet and trying the Tibetan butter tea, which I have not tried.  He goes into great detail about the quality of the coffee you use and the purity of the butter and coconut oil, which is a good idea to check out.  I will provide a link to his website below.

So making Bulletproof coffee is really easy.  You prepare your coffee as you normally would using high quality coffee beans.  I personally prefer Fair Trade because otherwise the coffee bean farmers hardly get paid anything for their amazing beans, which is a shame.

You preheat your blender with some hot water.
Remove the hot water.
Add 1 to 2 Tablespoons unsalted, grass fed butter
Add 1 to 2 Tablespoons Sunfoods Coconut Oil  ( make this vegan by only using 3 tablespoons coconut oil)

Add your coffee to the blender and blend at high speed till the coffee turns frothy like a latte and Enjoy~

You can also add some medicinal tinctures, raw cacao (Sunfoods makes a great cacao), Ceylon cinnamon, and a little of the very low glycemic Yacon Syrup, which is amazing for you.  Be careful with the tinctures.  They can flavor the coffee a bit.  I like to use astragulas, which is an amazing adaptogen, meaning it will assist your body in any way that it needs at that moment!

So why the fats mixed with your coffee?  Well, it turns out that the medium chain fats found in coconut oil actually help you burn fat in your body and those fats are actually what your body and brain crave when you wake up in the morning.  I actually start the day by drinking at least 16 ounces of water to flush out the toxins my body was eliminating while I slept, and then I drink my coffee.  It's a great practice.  You should try it.

It's a great way to naturally slim down.  The fats allow you to feel fuller, they actually trigger your body to release extra fats that its storing and the coffee gives your metabolism a little boost.  The fats also slow down the release of the caffeine into your bloodstream so your energy level is sustained longer. 
I know there's a lot of controversy around coffee.  That said, if your body agrees with coffee, and you use a high quality coffee, coffee actually contains an amazing amount of antioxidants.  It may be one of the highest antioxidant sources on the planet.  In fact, if it weren't for coffee, the Standard American Diet would be completely almost completely devoid of antioxidants.  Just something to think about.
