Butter in coffee something new ? My uncle Erb (from the WW1 days) was putting butter,with huge amount of sugar in his coffee back in the 40s. Carpenter , thin as a rail healthy as a horse.

It's a dense source of calories. Running long distances requires lots of calories.

Unfortunately it didnt fill me up (i added
30g of protein powder instead of coffee, so it should have given me a double whammy in that department, nor did it make me run to the loo.
Next time i'll use the proper measurements of 1 tbs each of oil and butter and see what happens0 -
Bullet proof coffee is just an adaptation of yak butter tea which has been a staple in Nepal and Tibet for centuries.
The addition of MCT is just a marketing gimmick by the creator to profit on the idea. Others quickly replaced the MCT with coconut oil.
FYI... MCT is simply mid chain triglycerides made from stripping other chains off coconut oil by refining it. It's bro science at its finest.
Yak butter tea is a true delight, too bad yak butter is so hard to acquire but butter tea is also delicious. Youtube yak butter tea for more info.0 -

Tibetan turned me on to yak butter tea many years ago.
You can find Puerh tea at a chinesse market or Amazon.
Kerrygold grass feed butter is a good alternitive. Many major supermarkets carry it.
A hand held blender works great.
*** I tried coconut oil when the bullet proof coffee craze started but it plays havoc with my guts. Butter for me thanks

Hmmm... I already have Kerry Gold and an immersion blender in my kitchen.
I'll keep this in mind to try just for the experience of it.
Thanks!0 -
This tea sounds amazing! Sadly I'm not allowed to ship food items from Amazon to my country, so unless I happen to travel somewhere where they sell it I may not be able to ever know what it tastes like.. sad..0

Unless you go to tibet Or nepal you will never really know what it is supposed to taste like.
Puerh tea is sold world wide as it is a kind of popular tea. You are not likely to find it in cakes but it is widely available in some manner.
But you can make butter tea with any tea you choose and it is still delicious.0 -
Been having it for breakfast for the last week or so and I've found it to be really satiating. Its also really stabilised my energy levels and even powered me through my long run (20 miles) yesterday. I do 2 tbsp each of coconut oil and butter.0
