Bulletproof Coffee Ingredients
- Black coffee – Any type of black coffee you like will work. I usually make mine decaf as I am sensitive to caffeine and sometimes I’ll make my butter coffee with a naturally flavored coffee like hazelnut or peppermint. There’s no special way to prepare it, I usually use my Keurig.
- Butter – Technically any kind of butter will work, but if you’re drinking a bulletproof coffee recipe for the health benefits, then you’ll want to go with the best butter you can find. We are partial to Kerrygold butter because it’s from grassfed cows and also has lower moisture content than typical American butters. Most folks make their coffee with unsalted butter, but I actually prefer to use salted.
- Coconut oil – Also sometimes referred to as MCT oil which stands for Medium Chain Triglyceride Oil. MCT’s are metabolized differently than the long-chain triglycerides (LCT) found in most other foods.
How do you make bulletproof coffee? (Step-by-step)
⭐ First, add butter and oil to hot coffee.
⭐ Next, pour hot coffee over top.
⭐ Then, blend with an electric blender.
What is Bulletproof Coffee?
Bulletproof coffee, also sometimes referred to as butter coffee, is coffee blended with butter and coconut oil (also called MCT oil).
It has been around in paleo and crossfit circles for a long time, but just recently seems to be making its way into the mainstream. There are about as many ways to make it as there are makers of coffee, but I’m just going to tell you about mine.
What are the Benefits of Bulletproof Coffee?
Bulletproof coffee is full of healthy fats and can help you get your day started on the right foot. I find when I drink a mug of keto coffee in the morning, I am not hungry again until lunch time, even if butter coffee is the only thing I had for breakfast.
For me the benefit of keto coffee is being able to have a quick “breakfast” (I’m not much of a morning eater), and feeling full until the next meal. The healthy fats in high quality butter and coconut oil are good for your body and brain, and bonus – it tastes delicious.
Is Bulletproof Coffee Ketogenic?
Yes, this coffee is ketogenic. In fact in some circles you’ll hear it referred to as keto coffee. Whether you call it bulletproof coffee, butter, coffee, or keto coffee – it’s all delicious and great on many diets.
A lot of people rely on this coffee for weightloss as it allows you to stay full without eating too much and it’s super easy to make in the morning. Not like so many other diet foods that require a lot of prep before you get out the door.

Nice post
Susan says
Can you add a calorie free sweetener to bulletproof coffee?
April says
I’ve never tried, but I don’t see why not 🙂
Jayne says
I put sweetener in mine, and a drop or 2 of vanilla, seeing as vanilla lattes are my favorite, it reminds me of that, and cheaper too lol
April says
yum!
Marianna says
I just drank my first Bullitproof coffee. I added coconut flavoring and a little coconut milk!
Jenn says
I put a scoop of protein powder in mine also.

Lane Patten says
So much yum! I’ve been meaning to check it out for the longest time and your recipe finally motivated me! Delicious!
Meagen Brosius says
It’s such a great way to start the day! I think you are right, people do turn their noses up until they try it (I did too!). But once I started I was hooked. Great for busy mornings and something better than just water or coffee by itself in there with my morning vitamins!
Chantel says
Wow did my first bulletproof coffee this morning and have to say, the butter freaked me out a bit, but after trying it, wow amazing. This is one of the things you need to make, to experience the amazing tast 🙂
Lisa says
I tried this morning. Oh my goodness. I drink my coffee black but this was so creamy. I found it amazing.
Evelyn says
Yum! I finally broke down my fear of it being gross and your right! Yummy, creamy coffee. Will be drinking this from now on. 😋
Matthew S Chapman says
After a decade if not drinking any coffee, I found I really like this and one cup is sufficient. I add turmeric, cardamom and cinnamon, fish collagen powder,MCT oil, ghee and a little mint.
April says
WOW, that’s a powerhouse combination! gonna have to try 🙂
Jayne says
I love this stuff and use the Kerrygold butter 😊
Shauna J Goff says
i am NOT a coffee drinker…but i think i am going to have to try this. i am going to do the ghee, mct oil, whey powder, vanilla or cinnamon )however i feel that day…and a keto approved sweetener. i will try this starting tomorrow…
prior i had this keto coffee that i purchased off of amazon and it has everything in it…mct oil powder and all…but i do not feel that it is strong enough to keep me awake. i need several benefits to this coffee.
April says
i hope you love it as much as i do!
Christi says
This morning was my first time making bulletproof coffee! I followed the recipe but added a drop or two of vanilla (I usually drink vanilla creamer in my coffee). This is so creamy and delicious that I don’t feel like it needs any sweetener!
April says
love the idea of adding vanilla to your bulletproof coffee!
Eddie says
Can I use can’t believe it’s not butter?
April says
No, you need to use real high quality butter. 🙂
Relinda Vansteenburgh says
April how can I follow you on Pinterest I’m not finding anything on there to click on follow if you can help me I’d greatly appreciate it would love to follow you.
Thank you and have a good day

Michelle says
I am new to this whole thing. I keep seeing people mentioning protein powder. Can anyone give me some insight to that? There are so many powders, which one should be used and what is the least expensive?
April says
I’ve never added protein powder, sorry!
Lee Walling says
There is a flavorless easy to blend protein powder called Genepro. 30g of protein. Just mix it with a tablespoon of hot water, and then pour into anything. If you add that way, it never clumps. Its the PERFECT protein!! Good luck!
Maya Kherani says
How do you get it to not splash out of the mug when using your immersion blender? I got splashed a lot when I tried it! 😩
April says
Use a really big mug or do it in a separate container and then pour it into a mug. Also short bursts with the blender. 🙂
Maya Kherani says
Thanks! Short bursts are key to avoid that vortex of death! LOL
