It is best known for its effect on weight-loss and its ability to increase performance.

Ingredients
1. Two tablespoons of pasteurised or unsalted grass-fed butter (this will provide you with all the healthy milk fats and the creamiest taste).
2. Two tablespoons of MCT oil or coconut oil
3. Two cups hot coffee brewed with low-toxin beans or Upgraded Coffee
Method
1. Start by brewing your coffee as normal.
2. Add the brewed coffee, butter, and coconut/MCT oil into your blender until a thick layer of foam appears on top, like a latte.
3. If you want to add some sweetness add cinnamon/ vanilla/dark chocolate or a sweetener like Stevia, Erythritol, or Xylitol
Keep in mind – One cup of this coffee is probably about ten times healthier than your current breakfast and it has the calories to match. Bear in mind if your body is not accustomed to digeting healthy fats, this coffee may be a little rough on your stomach – so take it easy in the first week or two.
One cup a day is good.
Two cups a day is okay.
Three cups a day is the maximum!
Enjoy!
