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?

Be careful with the shaker cup. Hot liquids like to blow the cap open and spray coffee all over you after shaking. I learned that in my first bpc at work attempt

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!

Power breakfast!!!

Bulletproof coffee really IS delicious.

I had it for the first time yesterday and I agree it's very good

Full blender makes a significantly frothier and imo yummier bullet proof coffee, at least with my gadgets. Also support warning on shakers especially with a vacuum seal- the steam can cause them to suck in and be hard to dislodge making messiness avoidance quite an art. Good luck.

lol that was my warning too. I use my ninja to make it at home. the first time I tried it I completely forgot about the hot liquid in a shaker cup thing and it was a disgusting mess. I've been using my hot cocoa maker lately and that works too, I need to order the frother that goes in it.

Okay, okay, tomorrow I give it a try. I recently discovered I really like grilled cheese sandwiches made out of cauliflower, so who am I to scoff?

I put 1/2 tsp of mct oil in my coffee, with hwc! First time for anything more than just hwc. I'm just lazy about pulling out the blenders to mix (something else to clean, anyway!) it! I really liked the feel of the oil on my lips, and it didn't change the taste! I had to fast for lab work this morning, then had this after getting home, around 8:30, and I'm not yet hungry! The oil could work as a prep for a, um, colonoscopy too! Just sayin! May go with a 1/4 tsp tomorrow! Lol!

I've been doing 10 g of each butter and co, 10 ml half and half, 3 g cocoa powder, half scoop protein powder, dash or cinnamon and cayenne pepper, 1 packet monk fruit in the raw. It's delicious!

Mct is a concentrated coconut oil. Some use it in coffee instead of regular coconut oil. Supposed to boost ketone production and energy. Is good, but use sparingly at first!

I switched to MCT after doing some research into the differences. I do notice more mental energy with it as compared to coconut oil.
I actually began treating my 17 year old's ADHD with MCT, in addition to supplements she was already taking and it wasn't until that addition that she started to feel the difference. She wanted to get off meds. There has actually been an improvement in her grades at school for the first time in years. Even more than prescription meds ever helped her achieve.
I have her taking 1Tbs MCT mixed with Pb2 for flavor, krill oil, high dose vitamin C and magnesium every morning.

Hm I was thinking I had updated in here (maybe it was a different thread) but for anyone else who has a hard time stomaching BPC, try starting small. This week I've been putting in 0.5 Tbsp coconut oil and 25-30 or so ml of HWC, with a splash of SF mocha syrup (I'll try cocoa powder next time) and I like it so much better! I'm not sure if I'll add the butter back in (and I haven't found kerrygold yet in my local stores) but I'm liking this version!

Also, maybe it's coincidence, but so far on this WOE I seem to have up to a week of weight loss and then stall for a bit. Previously it was having 1-2 lower carb/cal days that would get it going again, but the day after I started adding the coconut oil to my coffee every morning, the weight started coming off again.

I don't like sweetners in my BPC. I stick with the original recipe, kerrygold, MCT oil, coffee. Although if you want to go really decadent, add a square of 90% chocolate. Mmmmm.

also what is HWC?

MCT is more convenient for me with the at work solution. If I can't make it until lunch or feeling the 3pm munchies coming on, 1.5 Tbs in coffee or tea keeps me going strong. I don't crave sweeteners, but I will substitute cinnamon, almond or vanilla extract if needed.

I love what @lithezebra wrote: "It's for, um, research purposes, to see how long it takes me to get hungry, or at least I'm telling myself that to make not eating more fun."

Playing the research and experimentation game has gone a long way in keeping my motivation and diligence going. Fun stuff.

Word to the wise, do not forget it in a to-go cup in your vehicle. Mine sat there since Tuesday and OMG GROSS!!!!!!! There wasn't much left but it was pretty nasty, half frozen, separated...just don't do it.
