Heading deep into summer, I realize that my new found ketovore diet is going to be a bit harder in restaurant environments, coffee with friends and attending cookouts.  My wife Karen always makes bulletproof coffee for me at home, but I got to practice ordering it at a coffee shop.  Second, I did good this week ordering restaurant meals that at least fall in the “keto” camp of not being too far off ketovore.

What is Ketovore Bulletproof Coffee?

Bulletproof coffee is a popular beverage that combines high-quality coffee with grass-fed butter and medium-chain triglyceride (MCT) oil. Created by entrepreneur Dave Asprey, this concoction is intended to provide sustained energy, mental clarity, and even potential weight loss benefits. He included MCT oil which is known for rapid energy conversion, although most ketovore/carnivore folks do not include it.  I prefer my ketovore bulletproof coffee to have grass-fed butter which helps me through hours of fasting.  Additionally, the fats in the butter are thought to slow down the absorption of caffeine providing a more gradual energy release without the usual coffee crash.

How Do You Make Ketovore Bulletproof Coffee?

To make Bulletproof coffee, brew about 8-12 ounces of high-quality coffee. While the coffee is still hot, blend it with 1-2 tablespoons of grass-fed unsalted butter.  (If you wish, you can add 1-2 tablespoons of medium-chain triglyceride (MCT) oil. MCT oil can be replaced with coconut oil for a similar effect.)  I add, 1-2 tablespoons of heavy whipping cream, and I may slowly try to drop that out over time. Blend the mixture for about 20-30 seconds until it becomes frothy and well-emulsified.
