Creamy Bulletproof Coffee with MCT Oil and Butter
Bulletproof coffee is a high-fat, low-carb coffee drink that promises to keep you fuller for longer and provide a sustained source of energy. It's made with freshly brewed coffee, unsalted butter, and MCT oil, which is a type of medium-chain triglyceride that is easily absorbed and converted into energy. Optional add-ins include vanilla extract and ground cinnamon.
The concept of bulletproof coffee was popularized by Dave Asprey, a self-described "biohacker" and the founder of Bulletproof 360, a company that sells a variety of health and wellness products. Asprey claims that he developed the recipe after experimenting with different ways to improve his own energy levels and cognitive function. He believes that the combination of caffeine, fat, and MCT oil in bulletproof coffee provides a sustained source of energy without the crash that is often associated with coffee consumption.
