    No, I'm a stupid man for wasting a can of tuna and a cup of strawberries. :laugh: The color was even disgusting... a sort of gray. :sick:

    Real men take chances, I would have done it too. I saw a beer a few years back with bacon in it, no clue how far gone that guy was.

    Akima, could you give me a breakdown of how much of each you add for your Bulletproof concoction? I buy fair trade organic Kcups (because I am a lazy bish) and I already have grassfed butter. (It isn't Kerrygold but its grassfed/pastured) I also have Coconut oil from Trader Joe's... Soo I just need a good ratio.

    TIA

    Not sure what Akima uses, but I use 1 tablespoon of butter or coconut oil, or a combination (1/2T and 1/2T). It always blends nice with the right amount of froth and doesn't feel oily or anything. If I need or want some sweetener, I'll add 1/2T or less of raw honey.

    *Edit for the tuna & strawberries - WTF? blech. ;) I'm picturing something that they blended up for flipper in one of those movies. yummm-o.

    I vary the amount depending on what I need, but it's alway 1:1. An 8 oz cup usually gets 1 teaspoon of each and a 12 oz cup usually gets a half tablespoon of each. Most recommendations are for a tablespoon per cup but I don't like it that way as much but you might. Also, I occasionally add in a half packet of organic gelatin- I haven't done that recently but it's awesome, especially if you work out in the morning.

    Well, I like butter/coconut oil coffee and fry my eggs in bacon grease.... not so much into using almond flour though. lol

    I'm a single mom, the breadwinner, the cook, the housekeeper, the doctor, the chemical engineer, the dog handler... you name it.

    I have almond flour in my freezer, and coconut flour too, but I seldom seem to get around to using them except when we're tagged to bring a dessert to a potluck.

    Coconut oil blended with coffee tastes like a latte to me, and keeps me full and energized until afternoon, or even dinnertime. Yesterday my 9am BP coffee kept me going until 5pm -- I was busy running errands and just wasn't hungry enough to grab something for the road. It wasn't a burden to skip lunch and go directly to supper.

    At the moment I have a source of relatively inexpensive raw cream ($4 a quart, can you believe it???), so I'm enjoying that in my coffee. Will go back to coconut oil when the cream supply dries up.

    Can I join the crew? I love bacon, anything coconut, avocados, and juicy steaks :D I gave bulletproof coffee a shot, but I'm thinking blending is a must because all I'm able to do is stir and it didn't work so great for me :-/ Should've seen the looks I got at the office for doing it though! I'm also a full time engineer, new mom, animal caretaker, breadwinner, and bringer of the bacon. You ladies are truly an inspiration to have such busy lives and still make paleo/primal work for you with such great results!

    Oh, yes, I've found that blending is an absolute must. Stirring just doesn't cut it -- leaves an oil slick on top of the coffee. Blend well, and drink while hot... It tastes to me like a latte with a hint of coconut flavor (we use virgin coconut oil at our house).

    Although I talked to someone recently whose boss drinks BP coffee out of a cup that has some feature where he can shake it to blend it up again. Don't know how that works, since it was secondhand info.

    I have never tried butter in the coffee

    Search "bulletproof coffee". It's really good. :smile:

    I googled and watched the video of the creator....so it takes his special beans right? it's not just adding butter to a normal cup of coffee....do you know if this is similar to something here in the PNW called Choffy which is 100% premium cacao beans that is full of antioxidants & has long lasting stimulant called Theobromine. This healthy stimulant provides you with a energy lift by dilating the cardiovascular system, making the heart’s job easier and delivers energy without a crash or the other negative effects of caffeine.....hmmm Choffy and Kerrygold! Maybe worth a shot....Thanks for the info I will try this for sure! Happy Friday.

    Do you know of any stores in PNW that carry Choffy, or do you have to order it online or from a distributor?
