How to Make Bulletproof Coffee Healthy
Bulletproof coffee has quickly gained in popularity in recent months. It’s an energizing morning beverage made up of freshly-brewed black or espresso combined with grass fed butter and MCT oil for an energy-boosting breakfast beverage that has also been touted to curb cravings and feed your brain with essential fats. Furthermore, its use may assist weight loss efforts as its ingredients slow caffeine’s buzzy effects while creating feelings of fullness which could reduce hunger or overeating later on during the day.
There are multiple variations of this recipe to meet individual taste and dietary preferences. If MCT oil isn’t your cup of tea, ghee or butter could make an equally satisfying alternative. Additionally, there may be optional add-ins, like adding a pinch of salt for enhanced flavor profile enhancement or low calorie sweeteners such as erythritol or stevia to sweeten things up a bit – the choice is yours! Finally, this refreshing drink can be served hot or cold; I like serving mine over ice for maximum cooling effect!
While bulletproof coffee has many health advantages, it should not be consumed as a meal replacement. As it contains high amounts of calories and saturated fats while being lacking in key nutrients such as fibre, vitamins and minerals; it should only be enjoyed occasionally as part of a nutrient-rich diet.
Additionally to MCT oil and grass-fed butter, bulletproof coffee can become even healthier by including adaptogens. These herbs have been scientifically shown to assist the body with responding appropriately to daily stresses while simultaneously increasing immunity; consider including adaptogens like ashwagandha, maca, tulsi or ginseng for this purpose.
Cacao powder or unsweetened cocoa can be added to a coffee brew for a mocha-esque experience, and warming spices such as cinnamon or nutmeg may also add spice. Some people also like adding matcha tea powder for a chai-style coffee beverage.
Alter the ratio of MCT oil and butter, add in different add-ins, and experiment with various brewing methods until you achieve your ideal style. There’s plenty of room for creativity here so have fun exploring all of your options! The options are limitless so let your imagination run wild – get creative and have a blast!
Use a milk frother to combine prepared coffee with melted butter until it reaches a latte-like consistency, or blend coffee and oil with some ice and milk for cold brewing. No matter the method you employ, quality ingredients are key to creating delicious and health-boosting beverages. When purchasing coffee beans for health-enhancing beverages, ensure they have been expertly roasted and ground. Grass-fed butter or ghee is another delicious choice, providing rich nutrients as well as enhanced taste compared with conventional butter products; look in your grocery store’s dairy section or use this link to learn more about sourcing grass-fed products.
