Recently, the so-called bulletproof coffee is gaining more and more popularity as a breakfast substitute. Its fans say, that it has many benefits for our health.
Essence of Bulletproof Coffee
Bulletproof coffee is made from coffee and butter. It's creamy in appearance, served warm and resembles a latte. The people, who make this coffee popular, say that it has many benefits, which are:
- it maintains the energy level throughout the morning;
- it prevents hunger;
- it supports mental concentration.
Due to the fact, that this ype coffee is a fairly new drink, research has not yet been conducted to show whether it is beneficial or harmful to health. The US Food and Drug Administration, responsible for the safety of food, drugs, cosmetics, etc. has yet to comment on this coffee being part of the popular keto diet.
Preparing bulletproof coffee
There are 4 steps in making this coffee:
1. You must brew 1 cup of coffee, using coffee beans or one grinded with a French press;
2. Add 1 tablespoon of butter;
3. Add 1 or 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter or other non-dairy alternatives such as coconut oil;
4. Blend with a blender for 20-30 seconds. It should look creamy and frothy.

This coffee should be drunk in moderation. Its moderate drinking does not cause harm, it even has health benefits.
