What You’ll Need
Ingredients:
- 1 cup (8-12 oz) brewed hot coffee (your favorite blend)
- 1 tablespoon unsalted grass-fed butter (or ghee for dairy-free)
- 1 tablespoon MCT oil (or coconut oil)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional, for extra flavor)
- Sweetener to taste (monk fruit, stevia, or erythritol if needed)

Pro Tips for the Best Bulletproof Coffee
- Use High-Quality Coffee – Organic, single-origin coffee works best for a smooth, non-bitter flavor.
- Blend, Don’t Stir! – Blending emulsifies the fats, creating a creamy, latte-like texture.
- Start Slow with MCT Oil – If you’re new to MCT oil, start with ½ teaspoon and work your way up to avoid stomach upset.
- Use Grass-Fed Butter or Ghee – This ensures you get the best nutrients and a richer taste.
- Drink It Fresh – Bulletproof Coffee tastes best right after blending, so enjoy it immediately!
