RE: Making my second cup of butter coffee. The day will be AWESOME!

in #coffee8 years ago

The fat is incredible for mental clarity too! I've found the pairing it with caffeine creates quite the focus while I sit and work.

I believe one of the worst things that's happened to our society was when "fat" become a marketing ploy for weight loss companies. It has such a negative connotation to it now and people try to stay away from it due to their lack of education.

But little do they know, our brains are comprised of 60% fat!

I try to get fat into not only my coffee but in other areas with avocados, nuts, and smoothies.

Sort:  

Rad! Try adding the egg, I got the idea from Phil Maffetone and totally fell in love with the taste and texture. -- The one thing I found with most smoothies is they have too much sugar for me; is that something that you're pretty careful about too?

Putting egg in coffee or smoothie?

And my smoothies are actually pretty solid:

(everything is organic)

  • Kale
  • Spinach
  • Mixed greens
  • frozen strawberries
  • frozen blueberries
  • frozen banana
  • fresh ginger
  • coconut oil
  • flax seed
  • hemp seed
  • cayenne pepper

The banana and fruit have sugar, but at least they aren't artificial!

We put an egg in our coffee. :) The fruits definitely have sugar in 'em, be careful of thinking it's super healthy just because it's fruit.
