This is so delicious! It's like a cappuccino/latte but without the milk or sugar. It keeps me full and focused!
Recipe for my low calorie version of Bullet Proof Coffee
(the original is super high calorie and high fat):
Ingredients:
- Organic brewed coffee
- 1 tsp raw, extra virgin organic coconut oil
(I use Garden of Life available on Amazon)
- 1 tsp organic, grassfed butter or ghee [clarified butter]
(I use Ancient Organics Ghee available on Amazon or Organic Valley Ghee from Publix; these are the most delicious ones by far!)
- Organic Stevia extract to taste
(I use 2 heaping scoops of Plnt Organic Stevia Extract powder available at Vitamin Shoppe)
- 1 scoop organic acacia fiber (optional, not part of the original recipe, I like Root2 available at Vitacost.com or Renew Life Clear Acacia Fiber)
Instructions:
Pour hot organic coffee into a high-powered blender (like BlendTec, Vitamix, or Magic Bullet).
If you're in a rush use a handheld frother, but it will taste and look a little different because it won't blend as well.
Add all other ingredients to the blender.
Cover the blender but remove the center plastic portion of the lid first. Use a napkin to cover the lid hole while keeping your hand on the lid, and pulse (hot water creates pressure in the blender so hold tight). Then blend for about 10 seconds at medium speed. It will change from coffee color to a latte color. Yum!
You can add different powders and vanilla extract to it to create various flavors.
Peppermint mocha:
Add one small square of natural peppermint bark, 1/2 TBS organic cocoa powder, and 1/2 tsp organic vanilla extract. Finding natural peppermint bark is not easy, so it might be simpler to buy liquid peppermint drops.
Pumpkin pie spice:
Add organic pumpkin pie spice powder and vanilla extract.
Hazelnut:
Add Flavorganics Organic Hazelnut Syrup on Amazon. It contains sugar so don't use too much.
