Bullet Proof Coffee

My utmost apologies for the photo of a cup of nearly drunk coffee, (however pretty the cup!) it is a testament to how tasty bullet proof coffee is that I forgot to take a picture at the beginning of the cup. I shall aim to take a better one tomorrow.

For those in the know, bullet proof coffee is an amazing, tasty, silky drink which ups your fat content for the day and gives you tonnes of energy. It originated here but given that I'm a poor student and still without a coffee machine my version is slightly different.

Ingredients

10g Unsalted butter (preferably organic grass fed, countrylife/kerry gold is great for this)

10g Coconut oil ( available from whole foods, the internet or a your local West Indian shop will stock it)

400ml Coffee (I use Sainsbury's instant because that is what I have in the cupboard)

1 tsp liquid sweetner (optional)

Make your coffee in the normal way, add the butter, coconut oil, sweetener and blend with a hand blender/ smoothie maker/ a really good whisk until you get a nice frothy head on it.

Half of you will now be recoiling in horror that I just suggested you put butter in coffee, but try it first. I hate anything in my coffee normally, but this is exactly what I needed in the morning so I skip breakfast and keep my calories for dinner. Mess with the ratios all you like, but this was perfect for me to drink without feeling like I was greasing my entire body for the day.
