Are you wondering how to make bulletproof
coffee? Goodness Me recently sent me some of the key ingredients to make it, so
I wanted to share a little bit about why bulletproof coffee is so trendy these
days, how to make it and what to watch out for.
Bulletproof coffee is a drink that uses coffee
particularly low in mycotoxins, a naturally occurring fungus found on most
coffee beans. You brew your normal cup of joe, and then add in 1-2 TBSP of organic,
grass fed butter or ghee and 1-2 TBSP of
(medium chain triglyceride). The
idea is that you have it as your breakfast, and it boosts your energy, improves
your brain power and keeps you full until lunch.
One of the reasons it’s touted as so effective
is because typical breakfast foods are very high in starch that quickly digests
into sugar in your body. The result? A mid morning energy crash, and maybe even
a mid afternoon crash too.
When you have a bulletproof coffee, it’s
actually making your breakfast entirely fat. This doesn’t spike your blood
sugar at all, and results in much steadier energy. Furthermore, the saturated
fat in the butter, ghee and MCT oil results in a slower release of the caffeine
in your system, meaning more steady energy. You can read more on the
Bulletproof blog
Just remember, bulletproof coffee isn’t for everyone. Read about the pros and cons of bulletproof coffee here: Is Bulletproof Coffee Good For You?
