What is bulletproof coffee?

If you don't follow the ketogenic (keto) diet, then I'm sure you are asking 'what is bulletproof coffee?'. 

Bulletproof coffee (aka Butter coffee) is a drink that combines coffee, MCT oil and butter/ghee (or a similar, plant-based, high fat product if you're vegan).

These three ingredients are mixed together using a blender until it achieved a smooth and frothy consistency similar to a latte.

Bulletproof coffee was invented by Dave Asprey. It’s a keto-friendly version of milky coffee that is enjoyed by people around the world.

Not only is keto coffee suitable for those following the keto diet, but it’s also ideal if you’re intermittent fasting, eating one meal a day (OMAD), or you’re trying to lose weight.

This is because it contains no carbohydrates, so it doesn’t ‘wake up’ your metabolism. Instead, your body remains in a fasted state (also known as ketosis). Many people enjoy bulletproof coffee for breakfast so they can fast for as long as possible.

With the long list of  benefits of bulletproof coffee, it is no wonder this beverage is so popular, not only in the keto community, but by people not following the diet that understand the health benefits of adding MCT oil to the diet, such as for a pre-workout. 

However, bulletproof coffees have got a bad reputation for their long preparation time and blending of specialised ingredients (MCT oil). 

Can you use Nespresso pods for bulletproof coffee?

Not only can you use Nespresso pods for bulletproof coffees but you can even get Nespresso pods that are bulletproof coffees, well almost!

Rejuvenation waters Nespresso compatible pods have MCT oil already blended into them. This saves the hassle of blending the MCT oil yourself and creates a smooth, creamy espresso.

This convenience and the time saving benefits, makes them one of the best bulletproof coffee products. Plus, unlike adding it separately and 'mixing' the oil in, which creates a coffee with oil blobs floating around in it, you get a creamy espresso with everything incorporated. 

Each pod is compostable, meaning their convenience isn't at the cost of the earth. 

You can then use these Nespresso compatible keto coffee pods to create a latte using a milk alternative. Almond and coconut milk are the best milk alternatives for the keto diet, as they contain less carbohydrates then regular milk or oat milk.

You could add butter and/or ghee to make a more conventional and high fat bulletproof coffee.
