Coffee is a breakfast staple for most folks. Personally, I can barely open my eyes without a cup on a normal day; during the holiday months, I’m even more exhausted than usual! Instead of running myself ragged as I have in years past, I’m trying to slow down and savor the season. I’ve committed to having 30 minutes of morning quiet time to prepare/plan for the day. I do this at the kitchen table, journaling, and drinking my beloved coffee.

While most folks would agree that there’s good coffee and bad coffee, they usually base it strictly on the taste. Some brands are extremely bitter. Did you know that bitterness can be caused by mold? (Scary, I know!) Moldy beans not only taste bad, they also contain mycotoxins which can damage your body. To counteract the bitterness, folks will try to “fix” it by adding large amounts of cream and sugar. No wonder most of us feel tired by noon—we’re accustomed to energy crashes and toxic brews!

Bulletproof Coffee has created a revolutionary product that changes all that. Their 3-ingredient super drink is comprised of high-quality beans, grass-fed ghee (butter), and Brain Octane™ (coconut oil). Coffee with butter and oil?! Sounds crazy, right? Guess what, not only does it work, it actually tastes good, too.

Using a French Press is the easiest way to make it. 8 ounces of filtered water with 2 1/2 tbsp. ground coffee is the perfect ratio. Add in 1 Tsp. of Brain Octane™ and 1 tbsp. of ghee. Mix it all together in a blender for approximately 30 seconds until it is frothy.

The key to the process is blending. Unlike regular coffee, you can’t just drip and chug, so don’t skip this crucial step. Simply adding the ghee and brain octane to a cup makes it greasy, but if blended, wow, it’s amazing! The taste and texture is similar to a creamy latte. Because of the high fat content, it keeps you feeling full longer and provides a steady stream of energy. Instead of dragging through the day and craving a nap, when I drink Bulletproof Coffee, I actually feel alert, giving me the boost I need to shop, bake, and decorate for the holidays.
