  • Bulletproof Coffee









    We have entered that wonderful time of the year again. And no, I don’t mean the wonderful Fall season when you can curl up by the fireplace with a good book and a cup of coffee. I mean midterms season. And it’s not so wonderful.

    Writing midterms is by far one of the most stressful parts of my university experience, but the studying component happens to be even worse. Studying for twelve hours a day every day is never fun and like any university student, I definitely need my cup of coffee to get me through the day.

    However, Bulletproof Coffee isn’t just any ordinary coffee! Bulletproof Coffee is made by brewing 1 cup of coffee with two and a half tablespoons of the ground Bulletproof Upgraded Coffee Beans. You then add in one to two tablespoons of the Brain Octane Oil and one to two tablespoons of grass-fed, unsalted butter and mix it all up in a blender for 30 seconds so it’s all frothy and creamy! But for those of you on the go, I love just grabbing one of the InstaMix creamer packets that already has the Brain Octane Oil and grass-fed butter mixed in! It makes the whole process super quick and easy. And for a student, that’s the best thing since sliced bread.

    If you’re not a total coffee expert like me, you may be surprised to learn that there’s a huge difference from between good and bad coffee. Bad coffee beans are contaminated with mycotoxins which are damaging compounds created by molds which often grow on coffee beans (YUCK) and cause numerous health problems. Obviously, we don’t want any of that. Bulletproof coffee ensures an absence of these mycotoxins and therefore is just associated with all of the positive health outcomes that coffee contributes instead of the bad ones!

    But you might be wondering, why bother? How does this differ from any other type of coffee? I’m happy to report that Bulletproof Coffee has numerous benefits. It promotes better brain function, memory, and energy levels- all very important for a stressed-out student. In addition, the Brain Octane Oil provides fast energy with no crash because it’s sourced from fat, not sugar, and it also helps to burn fat at the same time! Plus, it’s tasteless and odourless so you don’t even know it’s in your coffee. And best of all, it also helps to support cognitive performance so you will ace every midterm!

    Although the benefits are certainly great, one of the most important things to me when it comes to my coffee is the taste. I am a bit of a weakling when it comes to black coffee. But with the InstaMix creamer packet mixed in, the Bulletproof Coffee definitely becomes a drink I can handle. It’s creamy and buttery- a tad unusual for those who aren’t familiar with putting fats in your coffee, but definitely makes for a good cup of coffee!
