OK great, but what on earth is butter coffee?
Butter coffee, or Bulletproof coffee, is two parts exactly as it sounds and one part twist. A basic butter coffee recipe calls for a tablespoon of grass-fed butter to be added to a cup of black coffee, along with one tablespoon of medium-chain triglyceride (MCT) oil. Specialty MCT oil brands have sprung up around the butter coffee diet trend, but since coconut oil is largely MCT in composition, most people just use a tablespoon of high quality coconut oil in their butter coffee triumvirate.
