Bulletproof Coffee

You love your coffee, don’t you? Close your eyes and imagine a calm, beautiful morning. You’re brewing a fresh cup of quality coffee…and then… you add in butter and oil — just because you can! Ladies and gentlemen, introducing you to bulletproof coffee!

If you have followed any fitness or health trends over the past few years, you might have come across something called bulletproof or butter coffee. In short bulletproof coffee is regular coffee, and you just add some good fats to it. The good fats make your coffee more energy consistent, and in addition, the caffeine doesn’t absorb as fast as it normally would.

Butter coffee is a topic that seems to raise strong emotions in people, either against or for. Fitness gurus say your energy levels stay higher the whole day when you start the morning with butter coffee. Your digestion works better, hunger stays away longer and you have an extra energy boost when you go training. Everyone’s experience is personal, therefore remember to listen to your body to see if bulletproof coffee is your thing. If you haven’t tried bulletproof coffee, give it a go and then decide what you think!

What happens when you add fats to coffee? The consistency changes slightly. Coffee becomes creamier and foamier too — it’s pretty darn delicious. Ready to take on bulletproof coffee? Great! Read our guide below.
