Brewed Coffee

Coconut Oil

Coconut Milk (canned/full fat)

Cinnamon

Stevia (optional)

Blend together in blender or use an immersion blender until milk is nice and frothy.

Bulletproof coffee calls for pretty high concentration of fat from oil and butter. For me I find 1tsp of coconut oil and 1tbsp of full fat coconut milk is enough to tide me over and give me the energy I need for my morning classes. You may need to add more depending on your needs. I also use Ceylon Cinnamon but you can use regular cinnamon as well. Whip up a cup and enjoy.
