I drink it for breakfast and morning coffee break. I usually eat eggs along with breakfast, but sometimes skip breakfast on the weekend. The BPC plus breakfast keep me going all day. I only drink water from mid morning until supper. So it lasts me 10-12 hours. I find that my energy level is through the roof while drinking it. I am seldom hungry.

I use 2 Tbsp unsalted butter, 1 Tbsp MCT oil with about 20-24 oz of coffee. I don't use sweetener or protein powder, but will sometimes throw a raw egg in there when time is short and there is no time for breakfast.

I have it for breakfast. Mine is 2 TBSP chia seeds, ground, 1 TBSP coconut oil, and coffee. I use a handheld blender to mix it.

The purpose of BPC is to be delicious. oh and adds some fat too... but its mostly just delicious.

First thing in the morning, I do eat breakfast couple hours later, something lite.
My BPC varies, I drink coffe maybe 3 times a day, one with coconut, one with butter and one black. All with HWC

I first learned about the power of butter at 18,000 feet of elevation near Mt. Kailash in Tibet.
I staggered into a guest house from the -10 degree weather and was literally rejuvenated by a creamy cup of yak butter tea. The biohacker in me asked, “why?” and after a couple years of careful research, that was the genesis of the recipe below, which is today, used by Billboard recording artists before they go on stage, world champion athletes, and some of the world’s top executives, because it has a massive impact on cognitive function.

I enjoy the folklore part.

How it came to be

Thanks!!

Sometimes I use a Rocket Fuel Latte instead of breakfast. This morning I made it with coffee, 1 Tbsp coconut oil, 1 Tbsp cacao butter, 2 Tbsp hemp seeds, 1 Tbsp Great Lakes Gelatin.

I found that a plain fatty coffee didn't really substitute for a meal for me. I tried a straight up Bulletproof style coffee like the original recipe (but with my own coffee beans) one day and was SO HUNGRY and my stomach was in knots. I do, however, have it for a morning fat bomb to get my brain going, but I pair it with some bacon and eggs usually.

-T.

I still haven't tried it, but I really can't imagine it'd fill me up better than food. Interested though, because I love creamy drinks.
And actually I am more interested in trying the rocket fuel latte, but I was scouring the internet looking for where I could buy the ingredients... and they're all ridiculously expensive and out of my budget right now.
If anyone has resources where I could find cacao butter and collagen (?! I'd probably forego that anyway) please let me know

i LOVE my butter coffee..I call it that as I dont follow the BPC recipe. I bought a wonderful bottle of MCT oil just recently as I initially didn't grasp why it was added to the coffee. This MCT has such great flavor I just have it 1 tbl at the same time, not in the coffee. I j read that butter gives fat that takes hunger away for longer, and MCT give instant energy via its fat..so makes sense to have both.

I see the butter coffee as the 'break fast' but since there is no sugar or carbs, protein it is NOT "food" just a way to kickstart my day..and I usually eat something 2-4 hours later depending on schedule.

I usually make a large shake every morning- 3 cups unsweet almond milk/spinach/berries/Sun Warrior hemp protein, stevia, maybe kale, or added collagen powder, and blend well…this gives me quick protein and nutrition, and makes 3 servings, so I keep the blender in the fridge and just grab a cup as I go. I am on a SLP diet- for my wonky kidney- so having easy digestible hemp protein powder works for me. my focus is now on what veggies to eat, and not on protein anymore, so switching to a plant based diet- with eggs & dairy, NOT vegan, makes life easy. In fact too easy to consume too many fats since I am not having carbs or average protein.

I will drink coffee for breakfast if I am not ready to eat yet. Or I will replace lunch with it if I have eaten breakfast because I'm not hungry for more food. Or sometimes I'll just have coffee for both meals if I am feeling particularly lazy. Caffeine is an appetite suppressant, and couple that with the low carb decreased appetite and the calories from the fat, and many people can just keep going without any other food for quite some time. If I pair mine with a healthy dose of salt at breakfast (two or three slices of bacon, say, or a mug of buttered broth) I am easily full until it's time to start making dinner, but by then I'm REALLY ready to eat. I don't care for salted butter in my coffee, and I really need that extra hit of salt for the staying power, but if I plan on eating lunch I usually don't bother.

I can't wait to have my BPC in the morning. Its become a habit with me and it helps me get energized to start my day. Yummy!
