Coffee and fat. Yum. It actually is quite good.

Bulletproof protein smoothie

The basic recipe for bulletproof coffee is coffee, MCT oil and butter. I put more stuff in it so it’s BREAKFAST and also usually LUNCH.

Ingredients

2 tbsp MCT oil
2 tbsp grass-fed butter
1 heaping tbsp cocoa
1 heaping tbsp maca powder ( I ran out this morning. This adds a nutty taste and helps keep your hormones from raging–if your hormones are prone to that sort of behavior. There are blends that have both macca and cocoa in one mix.)
1 heaping tbsp hemp powder
1 tbsp hemp oil
1 heaping tbsp non-gelling gelatin — important! — see below.
1 tsp super-berry powder, such as maqui (optional. I like the slight berry flavor with the chocolate. Acai or blueberry would work too.)
1 1/2 cups coffee — whatever will fit in your cup

Dump everything into your high-speed blender
I superstitiously blitz on high for exactly 24 seconds. That seems about right.
Pour into cup.
Take the cup and yourself to work (optional). It also works if you simply drink it in your kitchen.

Enough for pretty much a whole day’s worth of energy.

Preparation time is approximately 7 minutes.
