Bulletproof-Style Coffee

I don’t know wether I am blessed or cursed that caffeine makes me crazy. I’ve always been a decaf girl for the most part because caffeine makes my heart race and makes me a worrying, anxious lunatic. And if I have it past noon, I’m sure to be awake straight through noon the next day. I’ve always had problems metabolizing caffeine, even before I started eating clean. If you’re interested, here’s an incredibly interesting and nerdy article on how your body metabolizes caffeine. Click —> HERE.

However, when I started following a Paleo diet I quickly began hearing about the benefits of bulletproof coffee. Essentially it’s coffee with butter and MCT oil mixed in that’s supposed to give you balanced energy for days. Ok, well not DAYS… but a long time. From what I understood, the fat from the butter helped your body to metabolize the caffeine differently. In turn, you didn’t feel the caffeine high and crash but more of an even sustained energy level. I’m always down to try anything new. And truth be told, I HAVE found that my body reacts differently when I have my coffee like this. I don’t get jittery, I don’t feel that I’m on-edge, but I DO feel more energy, which I love. With that being said, I still can’t drink a million cups of it without feeling some side effects.

After tinkering around with it, I created a ratio that I like that works well for me. The only problem is it tastes so good I really have to limit myself because before I know it, I’m two cups in and WILL be up for days. I also found that I like using coconut oil better than butter, simply because it gives me a taste that I like better. As well, I skip the MCT oil as after doing a bit more research it seems the coconut oil works in the same way. I also opt for a bit of maple syrup and cinnamon.

I decided to finally add this to the blog because every time I posted it to Instagram with my morning breakfast someone asks about it. I find it’s so much easier to just direct them to the blog. Feel free to tinker with the recipe once you make it. If you prefer it more sweet.. add a bit more maple syrup. Not so cinnamon-y? Add less. You get the picture.

And note, this isn’t Whole30 complaint because it obviously has added maple syrup.. so leave it out and give it a try!

Bulletproof Style Coffee from the Whole Smiths using coconut oil! So delicious and a great way to start the day. Dairy-free, paleo friendly and sweetened with just a bit of maple syrup.

    You should try also adding 1-2 Tbsp of grass fed gelatin (hydrolyzed collagen), apparently women do better with bp coffee if they drink it with extra protein. Plus it’s an easy way to squeeze more gelatin into your diet!

    This looks good! If you add a tablespoon of grass-fed gelatin, you will get a lot more froth and a protein boost too!

Obsessed. Let’s talk...🛌🥱 In early 2020 I Obsessed. Let’s talk...🛌🥱In early 2020 I polled my audience because we were on the hunt for a new mattress. You overwhelmingly recommended @avocadogreenbrands. And then we all got locked down and I put our mattress hunt on hold. I bought a cheapie mattress online instead since we couldn’t try things out and none of us had any clue what was happening. Big mistake. HUGE. It was the worst mattress ever. So earlier this year we decided it was time to get a PROPER GROWN UP MATTRESS and went with @avocadogreenbrands.I’m not going to lie, I was a little nervous about ordering online and not being able to “test” it in person. I’m here to tell you it’s one of the best things in my life. It is THE MOST comfortable mattress I have ever laid my pretty little face on. And Brad agrees.Not to mention is green and environmentally friendly.Legit, slipping into bed at night feels like a hug from heaven and I can’t even handle it. I told Brad that, God forbid, we ever divorce I’m taking the mattress with me. So, if you are on the hunt go with @avocadogreenbrands. We went with the Avocado Green mattress with pillow top. And I just looked and they’re having an early cyber/Black Friday Sale. Anyways. Obsessed and eagerly awaiting my next nap. ✌🏼
Gluten-Free Cranberry Bars Personally, one of my Gluten-Free Cranberry BarsPersonally, one of my fave desserts ever is pumpkin pie. I wish it was a year ‘round thing. BUT! If you aren’t pumpkin crazy, not into pies and need something DIFFERENT to bring to Thanksgiving this year, let it be this. Think a lemon bars more festive friend. In fact, it’s great for a Christmas too. It’s available now to my community a the link in my bio. ❤️
