Bulletproof Coffee; What gives!!??!!

Let me tell you what gives…Bulletproof Coffee is amazing and is an essential part of my day.  This cup of coffee leaves me feeling energized and alert ready to tackle anything that comes my way!!! 

Let me begin by explaining I’m a coffee nut and am completely addicted to getting my daily hit of caffeine every morning; it’s bad when you wake up and bypass dogs, kids and a husband to get that coffee rolling!!  It  wasn’t until I discovered Bulletproof Coffee that I truly understood the meaning of a good cup of coffee and actually felt true benefits, besides the usual spike of energy and nasty crash, jitters, and headaches that typically come from most caffeinated beverages.

As I have learned through the website, blog and other material from Dave Asprey the founder of The Bulletproof Executive and along with my own experience:

Yummy!!!

Bulletproof coffee is the creamiest, most delicious, highest octane cup of coffee I have ever experienced. Talk about mental clarity and focus; this will rock your world and leave you feeling energized all day, not to mention the health benefits that come along with this single cup of coffee. You don’t get the caffeine crash that leaves you lethargic and needing more just to be able to function.  That becomes a vicious cycle; I know you guys and gals all understand what I’m talking about:)

So what exactly is Bulletproof Coffee??  Simply put, Bulletproof Coffee contains freshly ground coffee, grass-fed unsalted butter and MCT oil.  Yes, I said butter in your coffee; sounds kinda weird and unappealing at first, but you have to give it a try just once and you will be shocked at how creamy, frothy and amazing this will coffee taste.

Aside from tasting amazing, the combination of coffee, grass-fed butter and MCT oil promotes brain function, ends hunger by turning off cravings, and boosts your energy levels through the roof, not to mention the healthy fats can assist weight loss.

Benefits:

• The healthy fats from grass-fed butter and MCT oil give you a stable current of energy that sustains you through the day.

• The ultra low toxin Upgraded Coffee Beans optimize brain function and fat loss with high octane caffeine.

• The MCT oil also serves to increase ketone production and boosts your metabolic rate.

I’m a health nut and, for the most part, very particular with what I put in my body; as an athlete I want to fuel my body in order to achieve optimal performance. So I will tell you, since drinking Bulletproof Coffee, my energy has been through the roof and I actually feel more alert and focused. Maintaining optimal mental focus and energy is important to me , because I tend to burn both ends of the candle and have struggled with feeling exhausted throughout the day.  Lord knows I wish I had more hours in a given day, but we have to maximize the precious time we do have. 🙂

I have noticed a substantial difference in my workouts regarding my energy level and just overall feel like I have gas in the tank in order to crush my workout and remained mentally focused while doing so.  Working a full time job, coaching, building a business and training full time can be exhausting. There were often times when I would get in the gym and feel drained before I even start, but not anymore thanks to bulletproof coffee, I feel great!!!

It seems as though my body has found it’s Chi and I love it!!! Not to mention, ever since drinking Bulletproof Coffee, I have felt leaner and more settled and satisfied with my nutrition; I’m not constantly hungry or craving unhealthy things, mostly due to the healthy fats. I think for most of us our bodies are starving for healthy fats, we simply don’t get enough.

Love this old fashion coffee grinder!!!

I encourage everyone to do their own research and give this coffee a try, you won’t be disappointed!! I recommend you get the Upgraded Coffee Beans, which are free of many mold toxins that are often found in the majority of coffee beans; these toxins actually take away from the antioxidant benefits of the coffee and leave you with headaches, feeling jittery and cranky.  Trust me, as a avid coffee drinker, there is a noticeable difference.  Also, ensure you get raw or grass-fed unsalted butter and not regular butter.

I recommend using a manual coffee grinder and French Press when grinding and brewing your coffee, but they are not necessary, I tend to take things to the extreme!! The French Press makes the best cup of coffee by far in my opinion and there nothing better then fresh ground coffee every morning.  Also, you will need a little blender to blend all ingredients together, to get that nice frothy, creamy, deliciousness!!!!

The ingredients!!!

As we have learned from the Dave Asprey, founder of The Bulletproof Executive, 

Below is the the Recipe, along with ingredients and products I use and recommend from the BulletProof Coffee Website

• Start with 1 cup (8 oz.) filtered water, just off the boil.

• Measure 2 1/2 heaping tablespoons freshly ground Bulletproof Upgraded Coffee Beans (approximately 2 rounded tablespoons per 6 oz. water) and brew strong black coffee using your favorite coffee brewing method.

• Pour in 1 teaspoon Bulletproof MCT Oil (build up to 1-2 tablespoons over several days).

• Add 1 tablespoon grass-fed, unsalted butter, raw butter or ghee (build up to 2 tablespoons or much more over several days). I use raw butter.

• Mix in a blender for at least 30 seconds until the drink is frothy and looks like a creamy latte without a film of oil on the surface.

*** Important side note *** Ease into the butter and MCT oil by starting with one tablespoon or less of each.  It will take your body a week or two to fully turn on its fat digestion system once you switch to a diet with abundant healthy fats, so give your body some time to adjust. If you full bore all at first it might upset your stomach.

You could also had yummy things like cinnamon, vanilla, or maybe some pumpkin spice; that’s my favorite!!!  Some folks add protein powder as well.  So give it a try and let me know what you think:) For those who have had Bulletproof Coffee please share your experience as well, would love to hear your opinions and feedback.
