How To Make Perfect Bulletproof Coffee
Bulletproof Coffee is popular for a reason. This high fat low carb coffee is rich, frothy and tastes awesome.
Here’s a simple version of how to make basic Bulletproof Coffee.
Perfect Bulletproof Coffee
Ingredients
- 2 tbsp unsalted grass-fed butter (like Kerrygold)
- 1-2 tbsp of MCT oil or coconut oil
- 2 cups hot freshly brewed organic coffee
- add-in spices, flavors or sweetener like Splenda (optional)
Instructions
Brew coffee. This can be espresso, drip, french press, etc.
Pre-heat blender. Pour hot water into your blender while your coffee is brewing.
Blend and froth. Empty the hot water from the (now preheated) blender. Add coffee, butter and MCT or coconut oil.
Blend until there is a thick layer of foam on top like a latte. Yes, you can use a hand-held blender.
Add extras: cinnamon, vanilla, Dark Chocolate, flavored sugar-free syrups or sweetener.
6 Big Bulletproof Mistakes
The recipe for Bulletproof Coffee is carefully designed. However, SomeBulletproof Coffee recipe changes will lower its positive effects.
Don’t make these Bulletproof Coffee mistakes:
1. Not all coffee is equal. The wrong coffee (those containing mycotoxins) will zap your energy, leaving you lethargic and irritable. Choose organic coffee to avoid chemicals.
2. Only use grass-fed butter like Kerrygold. Butter from grain-fed animals has a different fat composition. It doesn’t blend as well, doesn’t taste as good, and lacks fat soluble vitamins (which is one of the reasons this coffee is ‘bulletproof’). Don’t use low-fat or butter substitutes!
3. Butter alone does NOT make your coffee Bulletproof. The MCT oil in your Bulletproof Coffee promotes high energy, fat loss and increases brain function. It also makes the coffee have a better feel in your mouth.
4. Don’t use Bulletproof Coffee as a meal replacement. Bulletproof Coffee is very filling, so this will be tempting. A few times a week is acceptable, but replacing a meal means you’ll be missing out on vital nutrients and protein.
5. Blend, blend, blend… or it won’t taste the same. Stirring won’t emulsify your Bulletproof Coffee. To get that rich, creamy texture you MUST use a blender.
6. If you must add a sweetener, use xylitol, erythritol or stevia. Use caution when adding sugar-free flavored syrups. The extra carbs add up quickly and may act like sugar for some low carbers.

What Is Bulletproof Intermittent Fasting?
Bulletproof Coffee Fasting is like intermittent fasting, except you are consuming Bulletproof Coffee Recipes in the morning.
What makes Bulletproof Fasting so much better?
- Healthy fat from grass-fed butter and MCT oil provides a stable current of energy, sustaining you through the entire day.
- The MCT oil also increases ketosis, boosting your metabolic rate by up to 12%.
- MCT found in coconut oil leads to greater losses of fat tissue.
- Coffee raises cell energy while inhibiting muscle-building for a brief period, . This causes the muscles to ‘spring back,’ building even more muscle as soon as you eat.
- Bulletproof Intermittent Fasting extends your life, improves brain function, and strengthens your immune system.
& Nbsp;
Step-by-Step Bulletproof IF Plan
The goal of intermittent fasting with Bulletproof Coffee Recipes is to improve and/or sustain mental performance by adding more nutritional benefits than plain intermittent fasting.
Step 1: Eat dinner by 8 PM.
No snacking after dinner! Go to sleep when you want – that’s your business.
Step 2: Drink Bulletproof Coffee.
Drink as much Bulletproof Coffee as you like in the morning. You may drink another cup before 2:00 pm if you are hungry, but NO COFFEE after 2:00 PM!
Step 3: Work out.
This is not necessary to gain muscle and lose fat, but it helps. Try high intensity weight training. Shorter and harder is better than longer exercise. You will need to sleep more if you exercise.
Step 4: Do not eat until 2:00 PM.
This means you’ve only consumed Bulletproof Coffee for the past 18 hours. If 18 hours is too long, begin with a shorter, 10-12 hour fast and increase from there.
Step 5: It’s 2:00 pm – Eat!
Eat high fat low carb meals or snacks during the next 6 hours (until 8:00 PM). If you’re hungry, eat!
