A while back I was hearing so much about Bulletproof Coffee. I never tried it until today. The thought to give this a try occured to me after evaluating my daily food intake. I have come to the conclusion I need to lower my calories and carbs, while striving to get my sugar intake down to as close to zero as possible, having a very small treat of sugary goodness once a week, if that. Lord help me!!!!
No, I am not doing the Keto diet. I am just replacing my energy source from a high amount of carbohydrates to healthy fats, consisting of: nuts, seeds, olive oil, avocado and a little coconut oil to sustain me for a longer period of time in hopes to eat less during my eating window.
Well let me just say, after drinking my Bulletproof Coffee I felt great! Instead of having brain fog, I had mental clarity; I had energy (and I used decaf coffee, so I was not energized from caffeine) and I felt satiated for hours. I think this is going to be my new breakfast from here on out.
Here is what I used:
- Hot decaf coffee ( I am caffeine sensitive. Occasionally I may mix about an ounce of regular coffee with my decaf or I just drink all decaf.)
- 1 serving which is 2 scoops of Vanilla Vital Proteins Collagen Creamer (10g of protein)
- 1 tsp of Cacoa powder
- A few sprinkles of cinnamon
- Stevia
- About 1 TBl of butter flavored coconut oil
I blended all this in my Vitamix until mixed well and frothy. So good and energizing!
Let me know if you ever drank, or if you do drink Bulletproof Coffee. I would love to hear about your experience and any recipe that is different from mine.
