It's only the most delicious thing ever. I am not making any claims about it helping promote weight loss as some have said. I just think it is delicious.

    Come again? Do you put butter in your coffee? I guess it's made from cream.

    I read about this in a nonfiction tale about a guy that escaped from a gulag. It sounded vile then too. For curiosities sake: salted or unsalted?

    Unsalted.

    I guess it was started by this guy.

    IF you think butter is awesome, add some coconut oil too! Divine! Plus, it helps keep me full until lunch.

    I feel like it would make my coffee kind of oily.

    It sounds weird, but I'm kind of intrigued.

    I wanted all of it for myself and didn't want you to know about it!

    I used to do this. It's pretty amazing. I certainly did lose weight during my paleo days...

    Butter coffee is awesome...the downside for me was skyrocketing LDL levels. I can't say for sure that the coffee caused it but I eat very little fat otherwise...It is really good with scoop of protein powder blended in.

    Yup it's called bulletproof coffee and many people swear by it when it comes to getting some much needed energy or keeping you full until your next meal.

    It took a while to overcome the squick factor, but damn that is some good stuff. I whip mine up with butter, coconut oil and a bit of pure cocoa powder in my Nutribullet. It comes out like a frothy chocolatey dream!! Great right before lifting.

    I used to put coconut oil in my coffee and blend it in the blender. It made it more creamy instead of oily. Was really good! I don't really like coffee too much, but that definitely helped the flavor. I felt like I had a ton more energy after drinking it, more so than with just regular coffee.

    could someone actually explain this? I have never heard of it - I drink my coffee black no sugar but once in a while I crave one with some added flavor

    Bulletproof coffee is the BOMB! I add one tablespoon of unsalted Kerrygold butter (you can literally taste the difference between grass-fed butter and regular butter) and one tablespoon of NOW Sports MCT oil (even more health benefits than coconut oil, which is a form of MCT oil) to my coffee (which already has cream, unsweetened vanilla almond milk, and Da Vinci SF syrup - usually English Toffee or Eggnog flavor).

    The most important part of making good bulletproof coffee is to BLEND it, not mix it. If you mix it, you'll end up with a greasy, oily mess. If you blend it (I use a Magic Bullet for this step), you'll get a frothy, foamy latte.

    Bulletproof coffee has put me into an even deeper state of ketosis and has helped me lose a bit of extra weight as well. I know tons of low-carbers who SWEAR by it and insist it is the main reason they have lost so much weight so quickly. Everyone's body is different, but BP coffee is definitely worth a shot.

    Whip together Coffee, Fit Frappe and a tablespoon of coconut oil. Filling and sustaining.
