- Hey guys it's Becky
from thecookierookie.com
and today I'm so excited to be making
my new favorite way to start
the day, bulletproof coffee.
If you haven't heard
about this keto sensation,
today is the day.
It's such a great way to start your day
because you're starting with
the right kind of fats,
minerals, vitamins,
everything you need to
kickstart that energy
and get your day rolling the right way.
We're gonna talk all the tips and tricks
and also optional add-ins to
make it taste that much better.
Hope you're excited!
Let's get started.
We're gonna start with
two cups of hot coffee.
And we're just making
enough for you for the day.
So you can make in bigger
quantities and on the blog
you'll be able to bump
up or down the servings.
But today we're just
gonna make it just for me.
So two cups of hot coffee.
It's important that it's
hot so that everything
blends together and
melts just the right way.
So the next ingredient is
ghee, or grass-fed butter.
You wanna use ghee if possible
and it's so easy to make.
You can also buy it but
if you wanna make it
you just boil high quality butter.
The whey that comes to the
top you're gonna skim off.
Kind of toast the bottom
and then strain everything.
What's left is a lactose-free
version of butter.
It tastes nutty and fabulous
and it's really healthy.
You can keep it for longer than butter
and it also has a higher
smoke point than butter.
It's perfect for baking, cooking.
It's a great ingredient to
keep around your kitchen.
We're gonna use it in
this bulletproof coffee
to give us those good
healthy fats for the morning.
Put it right in.
Next we're going to add our MCT oil.
This is a great ingredient as well.
It stands for medium chain triglycerides,
or also chain fatty acids.
It's a great fatty acid to start your day.
It suppresses hunger, it
increases immune health,
it has all sorts of added
benefits and it's awesome.
MCT oil stays colorless,
odorless, and also liquid
in room temperature so
it's great to add in
to drinks opposed to
something like coconut oil
that you would have to melt beforehand.
Perfect for our bulletproof coffee.
Next we're going to add
just cinnamon and pink salt.
Now these are both for flavor but also
for benefits as well.
Pink salt is a type of
salt that is high in
magnesium and potassium
and has extra flavor
more than a table salt or a kosher salt.
We're just gonna add that in
to give a little extra pep and flavor.
Now all we have to do is blend
our bulletproof coffee and enjoy.
Use a high-powered blender and just
blend enough to make it nice and smooth.
