| Do any of you mix your coffee with oil or butter (ala Bulletproof)? I've been reading more about the benefits, but I'm confused - do you drink this and skip breakfast? Possible to make without a blender? Any benefits you've noticed? I typically drink my coffee black, and eat plenty of healthy fats during the day (avocados, nuts, olive oil). |

I started drinking it with butter before it became "a thing." I just stir a little pad - maybe 1/2 - 1 teaspoon - right after I pour it into the mug.
I originally did it because I thought it may cut the acidity - I use salted butter and a little salt in your coffee really works! It also, quite literally. makes the coffee smoother. I think the official "bulletproof" version is made differently, so don't go with my simplistic approach. As for benefits and is it meant to replace a meal? Excellent question. Definitely not my version but if the real Bulletproof version somehow includes the nutrients you need, than perhaps so. Glad you started this thread - now I'm interested too

HA! You do NOT put a banana peel in yours!

In the immortal words of Mr. David Cassidy, "I Think I Love You." I was on that thread the other day as well. Thank you for making me choke on my coffee ... still laughing. |

I think this was a trendy thing for awhile but it's now been disproven as a good thing.
Have your coffee the way you want it and have your healthy fats elsewhere. How about a piece of avocado toast with your coffee? I know the hipsters like the avocado toast too.

| Trybit with heavy whipping cream. It is devine. |
| If you put cream in your coffee it’s the same thing, dummies. |
Sprinkle with avocado seed peel crumbles. Even better. |
It has been a good week over on the food forum. I'm still chortling over Big Lentil as well. |
| This is the glorious time of year where food forum shines! And, uh, family relationships of course. And probably politics but I'm not going into that den of crazy. |
