I Just Put Butter in My Coffee

January 25, 2013 by Jackie Ritz 74 Comments

I’ve been hearing rumors about people putting butter in their coffee. Supposedly, this is called a Bulletproof Coffee. Why on earth would someone want to put butter in their coffee??? Well, if you have been around the “Paleo World” for long, you know that we aren’t scared of fat. In fact, we know that our bodies thrive on fat. And, butter is, essentially, cream all churned up, so why be scared?

I took the plunge! And I must say, IT IS UN-friggin-BELIEVABLE! It came out frothy, smooth, and filling! I love my coffee in the morning, in fact, it’s one thing I have always said I will never give up. I’ve given up enough in my life…my coffee is staying!

I used this recipe but I didn’t have any of the MCT Oil. I know some people use coconut oil as a substitute.

Ingredients:

(at least) 2 TB of unsalted Kerrigold Butter or other unsalted, high quality butter.

1-2 TB of MCT oil or coconut oil

2 cups of High Quality Coffee

5 Steps:

1- Make coffee as you normally would.

2- Preheat your blender by putting hot water in it while you make the coffee. I didn’t do this because I used a stick blender.

3- Empty hot water from the now pre-heated blender and add the brewed coffee, butter, and MCT oil. Blend until there is a thick layer of foam on top like a latte. A Blend-tec or Vitamix blender will do it quickly, a normal countertop blender takes longer, and a handblender works ok if you don’t have a real blender.

4- (optional) Add cinnamon, vanilla, dark chocolate, or a sweetener like Stevia, erythritol, or xylitol (this is technically a sacrilege if you use awesome beans, but some people love their mocha…)

5- Put on a satisfied look and enjoy the high performance buzz from your creamy mug of Bulletproof Coffee as you watch your chubby, tired coworkers eat low-fat yogurt and twigs for breakfast. It’s almost unfair.

  • These twin doelings (girls) just joined our farm!!! Good job Mama Squints! We doubled our herd in one year!
.
After we returned from our year of #rvlife , we decided to go back to milk goats (and not a milk cow). .
Why?
👉🏼Less feed -
👉🏼Easier to breed and keep a buck
👉🏼 Less space -
👉🏼more babies!
👉🏼faster to milk -
👉🏼2 teats instead of 4
👉🏼healthier milk -
👉🏼 let’s not forget the cuteness factor!
👉🏼less mastitis
👉🏼get back $$$ on selling the extra babies
.
I have not been sorry with my decision and I am so glad I chose the Nigerian Dwarf breed. Their milk is DELICIOUS! I’ve raised 2 other breeds of goat and Nigerian Dwarf milk surpasses the taste and is so sweet! Love my goats so much!!!
