When I first started seeing posts about Butter Coffee online and on Pinterest, I just assumed that it was some sort of butterscotch flavored coffee, which sounded pretty gross. It turns out I was totally off, Butter Coffee is exactly what it sounds like, coffee mixed with butter, and people are actually drinking it. As a matter of fact, they’re not just drinking it, they’re swearing by it and claiming that it has changed their lives.
Why on earth are people putting butter in their coffee? Well, you can thank Bulletproof Coffee for the bizarre new trend. Bulletproof coffee is a relatively new and up-and-coming brand of coffee that is mixed with butter and oil. Apparently, the genius behind the coffee had tea with oil in it when he was in Tibet, and it changed his life. Then, Bulletproof coffee was born.

Bulletproof coffee promises to make your caffeine high last longer, reduce caffeine jitters, boost your metabolism, give you more energy, improve mental clarity, and the list goes on and on. Of course, anything that promises to do all of those things is a bit pricey, so people are brewing their own Bulletproof coffee at home – aka Butter Coffee.
Apparently, Butter Coffee is simple to make. You brew a pot of coffee like you would every morning, then you dump it in a blender with a few tablespoons of organic coconut oil and unsalted grass-fed butter. Here’s the tricky part – you have to get the over-priced organic, all natural, super butter. Translation: don’t start dumping I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter or some generic Margarine into your morning coffee, or else you will just have a cup of greasy calorie-packed butter with zero nutritional value.

I’m a health trend junkie. I’ve jumped on the coconut oil bandwagon, added more garlic to my diet, and I’m always open to try new vegetables I can’t pronounce – but I think I am going to sit out this one.
