Ingredients

• Espresso: Bulletproof coffee wouldn’t deserve its name without including coffee, and espresso is what’s needed for our recipe. The flavors and tones of freshly brewed espresso truly shine in this recipe, where bold coffee notes blend with vanilla and subtle coconut, creating a balanced and luxurious beverage.
• Vanilla Protein Powder: Vanilla protein powder improves the overall texture of the bulletproof coffee by thickening the mixture, but it also brings subtle vanilla sweetness. As bulletproof coffee doesn’t contain additional sugars or syrups, it can taste a little plain to some, so a scoop of protein helps combat this and brings a delicate background sweetness.
• Pasteurized Egg Yolk: For an additional boost of protein and nutrition, pasteurized egg yolk is a great ingredient to include. Just one pasteurized egg yolk is enough to add to the smooth texture of the coffee, and pack some extra protein into the drink for a tasty and satisfying start to the day.
• Grass-fed Butter: Choosing high-quality ingredients wherever possible in the kitchen can lead to better-tasting dishes where flavors aren’t hidden beneath depths of artificial ingredients, sugar, and syrups. Opting for grass-fed butter results in a creamy, delicious drink jam-packed with nutrients and quality ingredients.
• Coconut Oil: Adding to a bulletproof coffee's thick, smooth texture is coconut oil, another powerful ingredient to boost the coffee even more. A spoonful of coconut oil in the blender helps create a satin finish to the coffee, creating a luscious texture that’s a dream to sit back and enjoy.
• Whipped Cream (Optional): Adding a dollop of whipped cream on top of the keto bulletproof coffee is an optional choice, but it’s one with the power to brighten even the darkest of winter mornings! Whipped cream tastes as good as it looks and makes every sip of bulletproof coffee a whipped, fluffy joy.

How To Make Keto Bulletproof Coffee

All that’s needed to whip up a cup of keto bulletproof coffee is a handful of simple ingredients, a blender, and 5 minutes. Once the blender works its magic, you’ll have a thick, creamy, and energy-boosting beverage to dive into whenever you need a boost. The final garnish of whipped cream is optional, but it makes for an even tastier experience.

Step one: To a blender, add the espresso, butter, vanilla protein powder, pasteurized egg yolk, and coconut oil. Begin to blend the mixture, allowing the ingredients to combine fully so there are no distinguishable traces of pasteurized egg yolk, butter, or protein powder.

Step two: Continue blending the mixture until it becomes light, creamy, and frothy. Serve the bulletproof coffee immediately with an optional dollop of sugar-free whipped cream, and enjoy!

Tips And Variations

Almond Milk Keto Bulletproof Coffee: Adding a few splashes of unsweetened almond milk into the blender with the rest of the ingredients thins the texture of the bullet coffee a little and also adds a subtle nutty flavor. Using unsweetened milk ensures carbs are kept to a minimum, and the recipe is suitable for those following a keto diet.

Coconut Milk Keto Bulletproof Coffee: Similar to almond milk, coconut milk thins the texture of the bulletproof coffee but also adds another layer of creaminess for an even silkier final result. The background sweetness matches the rest of the ingredients well, while the light color transforms the coffee into an inviting caramel-toned drink that will quickly become part of your morning routine. 

Keto Bulletproof Coffee With Ghee: Ghee can be used in place of grass-fed butter and has a similar resulting texture. It blends well with the other ingredients in the recipe but lacks the recognizable buttery taste. Enjoying bulletproof coffee with butter on some days and ghee on others is a great way to balance the fats you’re consuming.
