If you are searching for a bulletproof coffee recipe you can try at home, this one has an added boost of protein. The new way of ingesting caffeine typically involves mixing black coffee with butter and coconut oil, which is supposed to give you added energy. Celebrities including One Direction's Harry Styles are on board, so this recipe may or may not make you feel like a rock star.
From Mike Gilger at The Fresh Exchange blog, the bulletproof coffee recipe consists of freshly brewed organic coffee (such as One Village Coffee), unsalted grass-fed kerrygold butter, liquid coconut oil and vegan vanilla protein powder. You'll also need a blender to mix all these ingredients together in a satisfying consistency.
