    It IS delicious. I had tried it about six months ago, but it made me queasy, so I gave up on it. I've had it the last couple of days, but only after I had eaten something, and it didn't make me sick at all. Yesterday morning, I had it for breakfast, along with eggs, bacon and cream cheese pancakes. Then I went on a 7-mile hike and felt energized the whole time. Usually at mile 7, I'm beginning to wear down, but I could've hiked a few more miles. I'm definitely a fan!

    I mentioned this earlier to another lovely LCHF lady. Coconut oil made me terribly nauseous, but MCT (from Now! brand) was just fine!

    I haven't had a problem with coconut oil, but coconut, coconut milk and coconut flour all do that to me if I have more than a little, which is a shame because they're tasty. I think it's the weird polysaccharides in coconut.

    I just tried mct for the first time, instead of coconut oil. It really made it so much creamier than the coconut oil. Very good!

    I've been trying to figure out how to do BPC at work--I make some at home with French press coffee and my regular blender (for me, for some reason, the immersion blender never emulsified it enough--I may as well have been stirring it with a spoon), but when it's gone, it's gone. I'd like to be able to make more mid-day in lieu of lunch sometimes, but I never knew how to go about it. Now that you mention the shaker cup, maybe I'll try that. I know @KnitOrMiss used to make her Bulletproof Tea in a plain old water bottle, but I'm not brave enough for that--surely I'd burn my poor little hands. What kind of shaker cup do you use, @hsmith0930?

    I make two at home in the morning and take one in a contigo (stainless steel) coffee mug. It stays emulsified and hot enough for coffee break.

    With the full recipe it is over 500cal but keeps me full from 7am - 2pm.
