Coffee is a world-famous and preferred drink by people of all ages. The discovery of the amazing natural gift dates back to the 3rd century AD.
The discoverer is said to be an ordinary Ethiopian shepherd who noticed that when his animals consumed the leaves of a certain bush, they became very energetic and restless. He decided to check what this bush was and tasting its fruits, started the legend of the drink that gives strength, energy and clears the mind.
Coffee is prepared and served in an incredible number of ways and the traditions associated with it are extremely numerous. Among the whole colorful range of possibilities, black coffee, Greek frappe and Italian cappuccino impress, right up to all sorts of hot and cold coffee-based cocktails.
However, have you heard of bulletproof coffee?
This new variety with a slightly intimidating name is actually a very basic combination of coffee with natural fat. It seems strange to combine such ingredients, but the benefits for the body are really unexpectedly many.
The idea for bulletproof coffee came to Dave Asprey, who borrowed it from Tibetan tea, in which yak milk and salt are added. The creative experimenter came to the conclusion that this combination can replace breakfast in the morning, as it contains many useful substances for the body.
Replacing the cream or milk with butter or vegetable coconut oil will add valuable omega-3 fatty acids and vitamins. Coconut oil has an antioxidant effect, is a natural immunostimulant and accelerates metabolic processes. It contains triglycerides, which make fat absorption easy.
When a little fat is added to coffee, the body is put into fat-burning mode throughout the day. This keeps cholesterol at appropriate levels. Because fat is saturated, it slows down the body's absorption of caffeine and this prolongs its effects. The body remains full for a longer time.
The preparation of bulletproof coffee itself requires absolutely no skills or additional work. Add 2 spoons of butter or coconut oil to the already prepared espresso and mix in a blender, until a homogeneous mixture is obtained. A cup of bulletproof coffee is a perfect substitute for the morning breakfast.
