What is Bulletproof Coffee?

Bulletproof coffee has been around for a while now continues to make waves in the fitness industry. For the most part it is a drink that has a large worldwide following of fitness enthusiasts and those looking to optimise their health, however there are also many people who can’t stand it. Like Marmite, you tend to either love it or hate it.

For those not in the know or keeping up with fitness trends, Bulletproof coffee, also known as buttered coffee, is a drink that consists of coffee, butter made from the milk of grass-fed cows and a medium-chain triglyceride (MCT) oil derived from coconut oil that provides the drinker with several health benefits. These tend to include increased and prolonged energy levels, prolonged fullness and sharper mental focus and clarity.

Bulletproof coffee is a favourite among the followers of paleo and keto diets as well as others who look for an alternative to traditional caffeinated drinks to boost energy levels and focus. It’s also now been around long enough to shake off the “fad” tag as many communities worldwide have embraced it due to it’s benefits towards their healthy lifestyles.

It all came about after an American health guru, Dave Asprey, had experienced drinking yak-butter tea at altitude in Tibet and decided to create his own take on it once he returned home. Everyone from movie stars to the Average Joe now use it as way to achieve prolonged energy and mental focus. The drink is designed in a way that the caffeine combines with the fats and slowly releases its effects into the body over an extended period of time. The name “Bulletproof” was chosen as the creator, Dave Asprey, claimed that it makes you feel invincible.
