Mike Ditka understands coffee. Well his character in Kicking & Screaming does. He tells Will Farrell ‘Coffee is the lifeblood that fuels the dreams of champions.’
I need this on a shirt. However coffee with butter is what keeps me going. Butter? Yea butter, not fake butter or I Can’t Believe it’s Not Butter. I’m talking about real, KerryGold unsalted butter.
Have you ever thought about putting butter in your coffee? Does the mere thought of it sound gross?
Well it’s actually really good.
While I’m not a doctor or a nutritionist, some evidence points to this being good for you as well.
It’s a version of BulletProof coffee that I make every morning.
What’s BulletProof coffee? You can learn all about it here, but basically it’s a great way to drink your coffee, in my opinion.
What you’ll need:
Blender
Organic coffee
KerryGold unsalted butter
Almond milk (optional)
Coconut oil (optional)
Cinnamon (optional)
Directions:
Brew your coffee as normal
Pour your coffee into a mug or cup as normal, leaving room for extra ingredients & froth
Add a teaspoon or pat of butter (just drop it into the coffee)
Add a shot of almond milk
Add a pinch or tiny scoop of coconut oil
Add a pinch of cinnamon (or you can use pumpkin pie spice)
Now pour all this into your blender and blend for a few seconds until froth appears
Pour back into your mug or cup and drink
Benefits:
The real fats, Omega 3s and cinnamon all help get your system going in the morning. I also find that this mixture aids in making me feel full. However don’t use this as a meal replacement.
Nice! Whatever diet you have, try have a low cholesterol diet.
