Bulletproof Coffee

Bulletproof coffee is a health craze sneaking into everyday kitchens and coffee shops around the world. In essence, it’s a combination of black coffee, grass-fed butter, and MCT oil. I’ll be honest, my first reaction to Bulletproof coffee was *Blerg*, I honestly thought why would you ruin a perfect cup of coffee with all that fat!?!? But after trying it for myself and noticing the difference to my health and energy levels through the day, I was immediately converted. This recipe is the creamiest, most divine way to have your morning cup of Jo that gives you long lasting energy all day long.
