‘Bulletproof coffee’ or ‘butter coffee’ is trending among people doing keto or intermittent fasting. A spoonful of coconut oil and\/or ghee in your coffee provides extra energy and satiety, allowing you to go long in the morning without a heavy carbohydrate-rich breakfast. But even if you are not a modern CEO, busy bee or athlete, coconut oil in your drink can offer benefits.<\/p>\n\n

MCTs in coconut oil provide energy<\/h2>\n\n

Coconut oil is high in medium-long fatty acid chains or MCTs (medium chain triglycerides). These healthy fats are absorbed directly by the body and can be quickly converted into energy<\/strong>. Moreover, they are not stored as fat. So you can think of coconut oil as a quick source of energy.<\/p>\n\n

Coconut oil in your coffee: a double dose of energy<\/h2>\n\n

Any coffee drinker will confirm that coffee gives you a boost. Coffee is not only tasty, but is in itself a healthy drink. It contains caffeine, phytonutrients and antioxidants that help with your energy levels and focus. Adding coconut oil to coffee adds to this stimulating effect. Ideal to combat a morning dip.<\/p>\n\n

Other benefits of coconut oil<\/h2>\n\n

Apart from an energetic feeling that coconut oil can give you when you consume it in the morning, it also makes you feel satiated.<\/strong> This makes you less likely to get hungry or feel like snacking.<\/p>\n\n

Moreover, coconut oil has been shown to kickstart the metabolism and increase fat burning.<\/strong> This helps if you want to maintain your weight.<\/p>\n\n

Finally, coconut oil has a strong antibacterial effect<\/strong> which means it supports the immune system.<\/p>\n\n

One tablespoon of coconut oil per day<\/h2>\n\n

So it would be good to start every morning with a spoonful of coconut oil. It doesn’t sound so appetising to just swallow this, but it is tasty to put coconut oil in your coffee.<\/strong> The heat of the coffee gently melts the coconut oil away. Stir it briskly into your coffee or mix the whole thing in a blender and you get a creamy, silky smooth drink!<\/p>\n\n

Easier is to use specific MCT oil<\/strong> instead of coconut oil. This is already liquid and does not need to melt in your hot drink. Bulletproof coffee often involves adding some ghee or low-salt grass-fed butter as an extra fat.<\/p>\n\n
