What!?! Coffee can become bulletproof and Paleo? 

YES, yes it can and if you like coffee, it's a delicious recipe.

Bulletproofing coffee refers to the process of fortifying it with high amounts of fat while refraining from using any refined sugar. This keeps it functioning as a good quality fuel source for your brain while minimizing any sugar load to the system. This reduces the amount of insulin required to process it and it makes it easier for the pancreas to function, over the long term.

No sugar or dairy is used in this recipe, but it produces an end result very similar to the consistency of a latte and will make two, 400 ml cups of finished coffee.

Frothy and creamy, but completely dairy-free, which also makes it vegan.

The tools you will need to make this recipe are: 

1. a kettle;
2. a French Press;
3. and a blender.

The ingredients you will need are:

1. 4 tbsp of freshly ground coffee beans;
2. 800 ml of boiling water;
3. 2 tbsp of coconut oil (if you want to medicate the coffee use medium chain triglyceride coconut oil that you have infused with cannabis);
4.  and 1/2 tsp of sunflower lecithin.

The 2 tbsp of MCT coconut oil contains 28 grams of fat.

A 1/2 tsp of sunflower lecithin contains another 1.5 grams of fat. 

A large 400 ml cup of bulletproof coffee contains almost 15 grams of fat.

The lecithin is an emulsifier and it is a critical component that ensures that the coconut oil will stay blended with the water used to make the coffee. If you omit the lecithin, the coconut oil will sit on top of your coffee instead of staying consistently blended all the way through. Lecithin is also nutritionally beneficial to the liver and will aid in its efficient functioning. 

Directions:

• Boil 800 ml of water in the kettle.
• Grind 4 tbsp of coffee beans and place the grinds in the bottom of a French Press.

• Add the boiling water.

• Put the plunger lid of the French Press in place and let the coffee brew for 4 minutes.

• After 4 minutes, depress the plunger to push all the grinds to the bottom of the press.

• Add sunflower lecithin to the blender.

• Add the coconut oil to the blender and if you want to medicate it, use MCT coconut oil that you have infused with your choice of strain of cannabis.

Here's one of my previous posts related to making MCT coconut oil, infused with cannabis, in case you missed it:

This is what the coconut oil and the lecithin will look like in the bottom of the blender:

• Add the brewed coffee.

This is what the liquid will look like before it is blended. Notice that the oil is sitting on top of the coffee.

• Blend everything for approximately 30 seconds on high speed.

It will be very frothy.

• Fill a cup and enjoy! 

In my opinion, this is a perfect cup. Bring on the good quality fat and raise your frequency with a little herb at the same time!
