If you’ve ever felt that your regular coffee just isn’t cutting it, you might want to try bulletproof coffee – a nourishing, energy-boosting twist on your morning cup.
Bulletproof coffee isn’t your typical latte or cappuccino. It’s a blend of high-quality coffee, healthy fats, and sometimes collagen or spices. Many people (myself included!) enjoy it as a way to kick-start the day with focus, steady energy, and less of that mid-morning crash.
What is Bulletproof Coffee?
At its simplest, bulletproof coffee is:
-
- Freshly brewed coffee (organic if possible)
-
- Grass-fed butter or ghee
-
- MCT oil or coconut oil
Blended together, it creates a creamy, frothy, latte-like drink – without dairy milk or sugar.
Why Try Bulletproof Coffee?
Here are some of the benefits people notice:
-
- Sustained energy – the healthy fats slow the release of caffeine, helping you avoid spikes and crashes.
-
- Supports brain health – MCT oil is easily converted into ketones, which fuel your brain.
-
- Can reduce cravings – many find it keeps them fuller for longer.
-
- Supports metabolism – healthy fats are essential for hormone balance and energy production.
It’s also a great option if you’re practising intermittent fasting or want a simple, nourishing start to the day without reaching for processed snacks.
