Superfood Mocha

I’ve been drinking Bulletproof™ Coffee for years now.  If you are not familiar, it may sound weird/gross: coffee blended with butter AND coconut oil.  

FYI, before my switch, I was a die-hard  black-like-my-soul coffee drinker.  

After seeing my mom’s disgust  when she watched me make and drink this concoction on a trip home, it’s been a bit of a secret ritual I’ve kept to myself,  occasionally foregoing it when I’ve had guests for breakfast.  I just didn’t feel like having to explain it. And, truthfully, it is a bit of a process.

But, it’s true what they say: do something long enough and it becomes a habit.   After years of success and the unsolicited conversion of  a former roommate, I’ve decided that this is a secret I no longer wish to keep.

If you’re new to the Bulletproof™ coffee world, take a look at my intro post to start you off.

If you already enjoy some healthy fat in your morning cup of joe, this is how to take it up a notch, pack it full of nutrients and get yourself looking forward to the start of another day.

I'm Bulletproof, Nothing to loose!

I've been jamming on the Bulletproof Coffee train for a few years, and I don't think I'll ever go back to regular. 

Yeah, at first it seemed super gross to put butter and coconut oil in my coffee, but it's actually a delicious treat. I seriously look forward to it every morning. It's like the best reward after my sometimes grueling personal Kundalini yoga practice by Rainer Perry ( I’ll gush more about him later.) 

ANYWAY, in fact, I've intrigued a number of friends and Air BnB guests, I actually converted a roommate into a daily drinker. 

Basically, my point is, you should try it.  

Here's the recipe I use: 

6-8 oz brewed low acidic coffee (Fair trade, organic, is always better, I love Sumatra) 

1 tbl. Grass-fed butter (I'm an unsalted Kerrygold fan) 

1 tbl. Unrefined coconut oil (Again, go for the good stuff, skip the refined, its gross.) 

Swirl em up in the blender for 30 seconds on high. 

I like to sprinkle some cinnamon on top, but do you.

If you’re still on the fence here’s what Women’s Health Mag has to say about it.

I mean, my mom saw it on Good Morning America, so it has to be legit.

Is this what they call "June Gloom"? Was really thinking we'd be into prime rooftop yoga season by now, but isn't that just how things go: hardly as expected. Anyway, you can count on class TONIGHT!
