Butter in coffee.
hm.
I first heard about this...idea?...several years ago when Keto started coming onto the scene. At the time, I was FULLY concerned about and confused by this diet and why anyone would want to put butter in their coffee. Now, I am much more open to new ideas concerning nutrition, and I'm sipping on a frothy bulletproof coffee, happy as a clam. (Why is it called bulletproof coffee? I haven't the slightest idea and I'm not sure it matters, so we'll leave it at that;)
I have found that increasing my fat intake has resulted in increased satiation, blood sugar stability throughout the day, improved digestion, and a metabolic boost. The science behind the benefits of grass-fed butter generally states the following: grass-fed butter is high in fat-soluble vitamins such as vitamin A and K2, as well as being high in healthy fats like CLA and omega-3.
As for the personal benefits that I experience, I find that I feel evenly energized without any issues with jitteriness, I experience less of a hunger crash mid-morning, and I enjoy probably the best hot coffee drink I've ever had. It's so frothy, rich, and creamy without the heaviness that you get from a milk/cream-laden drink.
The way that I make my Bulletproof is so quick an easy. I just take a mug of hot coffee (your choice, I generally do fresh ground coffee in the french press), a heavy splash or two of unsweet almond milk, and half a tablespoon of grass-fed butter and froth it up in the blender. YUM.
Y'all know I love my iced coffee, especially coldbrew, so let's not forget this YouTube video where I show you how to make the richest, smoothest coldbrew at home.
Happy caffinating!
