Review of "Bullet Proof Coffee"
Happy Monday World!
For the past couple years I have been drinking "Bullet Proof Coffee" on an off. You may ask "WTF is Bullet Proof Coffee?" Good question, it is a concept that has gained traction through personal development authors such as Tim Ferriss and Dave Asprey who have touted the health benefits of this concoction. I decided that I would do a how-to and review of the coffee.
The concept behind this coffee is that it is high in fatty acids, saturated fats, and caffeine, so when consumed in the morning it stimulates the brain and keeps a higher level of energy through the fat content to prevent the caffein crash. An added benefit of the fats is that the body will think it is satisfied and will not be hungry for a while. Sounds like a win-win right so far right?!?
Lets get to how we create this coffee!
Step 1: Get some dark roast coffee
Step 2: 1-2 tbsp of Virgin Coconut Oil
Step 3: 1-2 tbsp of unsalted organic butter
Step 4: Brew about 12 oz of coffee
Step 5: Blend the butter, coconut oil, and coffee for about 30 seconds
Step 6: Consume
Alright so now that I have show you how to make this creamy, frothy, awesome coffee lets talk about it benefits. As you may have noticed at the beginning I had stated I had drank this on and off for a couple of years, "If is so awesome why no drink it all the time?!?" Let me explain.
Are there benefits, YES! When I drink this mixture in the morning I am not hungry till about 2 pm, I have tons of energy, a strong caffein kick going, and it lets me down slowly without a crash. Great, but there are a couple of downsides. Time, this takes more than 12 seconds to prepare, and if you are chronic over sleeper this is a problem. Mess, you will have at least 350x more dishes to clean when you make this regularly. Bathroom, given the fatty acids and fats in the drink if you have too much you body may not appreciate you.
So, now that you know what "Bullet Proof Coffee" is in this abbreviated review you can make your very own batch in the morning to help conquer your day! Being able to fire on all cylinders in the morning is key to having a successful day, and definitely helps create a serene home life!
Till next time!
