If this is your first time hearing about Bulletproof keto coffee, then you’re in for a real treat. Our keto coffee is creamy, sweet, and robust making it the perfect mid day pick me up.
There’s not a recipe on our entire blog that Megha and I make more often than this one. Some people call it keto coffee, fatty coffee, butter coffee etc. You get the picture! We’re going to show you four of our favorite ways to make this recipe.
Before we get into the specifics, we have to give credit to the creator of this dynamic concoction Dave Asprey. He’s created a whole brand around this stuff and his site is worth checking out for more info. If you prefer to be a visual learner, you can check out the video below of me making a cup keto coffee.
What is Bulletproof Coffee?
So what is Bulletproof coffee? In its purist form, it is a combination of fat, (usually butter, coconut oil OR MCT oil) and coffee. In recent years, it has devolved into basically any kind of coffee with lots of fat blended in. The new most common sources are fats like:
- Heavy cream- This makes a super smooth coffee as well as gives you a more traditional latte keto coffee feel.
- Ghee- Ghee is clarified butter which often makes it easier to digest for those with dairy intolerances. If you like butter, but it doesn’t like you; try some ghee!
- Coconut milk- Coconut milk is another high fat diary free option perfect for people who are lactose intolerant. Sometimes we even use it just for the naturally sweet tropical flavor when we don’t want to add stevia.
The original, and in my opinion, the best version of Bulletproof coffee is two parts butter to one part MCT oil. I find it unnecessary to get too concerned over the intricate details of where your MCT oil is sourced from, and whether the cow that produced your butter was milked within the last three days. Just get your butter and some MCT oil and start blending, we promise it will be delicious.
Why Drink Bulletproof Coffee?
By now you’re probably wondering why we’re putting all of these crazy things in our coffee. There’s a number of reasons actually!
- The biggest reason is energy- Not only are you benefiting from the caffeine in the coffee but you’re also getting an energy burst from the MCT oil(1). MCT oil is the fastest absorbed oil you can get your hands on, which makes it the perfect addition to coffee(2). Plus by pairing caffeine with fat like coconut oil or mct oil you slow down the rate at which caffeine processes. Thus preventing more sustained energy rather than a rapid spike.
- Reason number two is that you’ll feel full for a long time!-Now that you are super energized and not hungry, think of all you’ll be able to accomplish! With Bulletproof coffee, I find my most productive time of the day to be about an hour after I have my cup.
- It tastes good!- Starting a new keto diet can be daunting and you might feel deprived from your regular Starbucks order. A creamy keto coffee like this is a great way to start your day. You’ve gotten in your healthy fats and grass fed butter, all while getting in a barista style drink that’s low in net carbs.
We do know just how difficult it can be going from milk and sugar to coffee with butter. However, once you know your favorite fats whether that be grass fed butter, mct oil, or coconut oil you will be abl to make your perfect cup of coffee every morning. If you do need your Starbucks though, checkout our keto coffee guide on our Keto Starbucks post.
Keto Coffee For Weight Loss
Our keto coffee recipes can be great for weight loss. The healthy fats keep you full and satiated longer, while the caffeine helps to give you an overall boost to attack the day. Plus drinking a beverage can be easier for some people who struggle to stop eating once they have started.
High amounts of fats like heavy cream, coconut oil, and mct oil can also help with blood sugar management. They keep blood sugar stable when paired with a keto diet to ensure there are no quick rises or dips in energy. If you find you need a pick me up snack around 3pm everyday, it might be time to make keto coffee instead.
Common Keto Coffee Mistakes for Weight Loss
Have you tried making delicious keto coffee recipes and found it’s hindering your weight loss? Grass fed butter or ghee can make great additions to up the healthy fats in your diet, but should still be managed to ensure weight loss. Some of the biggest mistakes we see when people make their keto coffee recipe is:
- Not Watching Calories– The most common mistake we see when people start making keto coffee recipes is not keeping their calories in check.
- Adding too Much Dairy– While we all know heavy cream and butter is delicious, it may not always be the best thing to consume in large amounts. If you find yourself using more than a few tablespoons in your cup of keto coffee it might be time to switch up your routine. Dairy can be high in calories, as well as cause inflammation which hinders weight loss.
- It’s Too Delicious– Yes, sadly being too delicious is a danger to weight loss. If something is super tasty you are more likely to overeat/ drink a certain food or beverage. To manage net carbs and overall calories you probably shouldn’t be drinking 6-7 tablespoons of coffee with butter or ghee everyday. While grass fed butter or ghee is rich in healthy fats, they do still contain quite a few calories.
These are a few things to look out for when you decide to start dabbling in keto coffee recipes. The big takeaway is that healthy fats are low carb and extremely good on a keto diet, but should still be managed for overall caloric needs to ensure weight loss.
How To Make Bulletproof Coffee
Making a keto butter coffee is the easy part. To begin you simply throw everything into a blender and blend it together. I like adding all of the oils in first with the blender set on a food scale so I can make sure I’m tracking my fat intake properly. Keto coffee can be a great way to manage hunger and appetite, but too many grams of healthy fats can still put you well over your calorie goals. Another good blending option that a lot of people use is a milk frother. These are pretty cheap and do a good job of mixing your keto coffee. Nothing is worse than a poorly mixed coffee with all of the butter and oil sitting on top. So to recap making these keto coffee recipes:
- Begin by adding all fats into a blender (making sure to weigh them first)
- Add hot coffee overtop to begin melting the fat.
- Now add any stevia or sweetener if desired
- Blend, blend, blend!
- Pour into a mug and serve immediately. You don’t want that froth going flat!
Four Kinds of Bulletproof Coffee
We wanted to give you some ideas on how to make the best keto bulletproof coffee so you can try each method and pick your favorite. We even included our own bulletproof coffee recipe so you could see exactly what we pack into every cup of coffee we drink.
1. The Original Bulletproof Coffee Recipe
The original version of Bulletproof Coffee from the creator, Dave Asprey, is two parts butter (preferably grass-fed butter) to one part MCT oil. This is the recipe I drank for years because not only does it taste delicious, but the MCT oil was great for productivity and energy. You will need:
- 1-2 tbsp butter– Preferably grass-fed butter. You can use unsalted butter if preferred.
- 1-2 tbsp MCT Oil– The mct oil brand isn’t important, we just try to balance cost and quality. Nature’s Way is a great price point to start at.
- Coffee– Plain old caffeinated Jo!
2. Protein Packed Bulletproof Coffee
While MCT oil is great for productivity and provides a boost in energy, it is quite processed and low in nutrients. This Protein Packed Keto Coffee recipe supplies you with equal parts protein-to-fat alongside some fat-soluble vitamins from the egg yolk.
- 1 tbsp ghee – Ghee is clarified butter meaning the lactose is removed. It not only makes it easier to digest, but also more keto friendly because it has even less sugar than regular grass fed butter.
- 1 scoop
collagen peptides– Collagen adds protein as well as makes your coffee thick and creamy. It’s a great option if you don’t like the grainy texture that normalprotein powder can have. - 2 egg yolks– Egg yolks add fat-soluble vitamins that are better utilized when paired with high fat ghee in this keto coffee. Don’t worry about the egg yolks being raw, they will cook in the hot coffee a bit and help to thicken it making a creamier bulletproof coffee recipe.
- Coffee
3. Creamy Keto Coffee
Since Megha likes to keep things sweet, her morning cup of coffee always has a little bit of stevia or flavored MCT oil powder blended in. The MCT powder is much easier on her stomach than mct oil while still providing the best creamy keto coffee consistency.
- 1 tbsp ghee– Megha prefers ghee to traditional keto butter coffee because it’s easier on her stomach and a little more flavorful than butter.
- 1 scoop MCT Oil Powder – We love Perfect Keto‘s
mct oil powder because it’s sugar free and full of healthy fats. Plus it blends into coffee really well without being high in net carbs like other protein powders. - 1/2 tsp salt – Salt helps to increase sodium intake for the day which can be important to balance electrolytes on keto. It also helps to bring out the sweetness and flavor in her keto bulletproof coffee.
- Liquid stevia- Liquid stevia is a naturally sugar free way to bring in sweetness to keto recipes. Depending on the brand you purchase from, some even have different and creative flavors like peppermint or toffee.
- Coffee
4. Dessert Bulletproof Coffee
This recipe is for the people who miss their Starbucks mocha and chai lattes. Flavorful additions like cocoa and cinnamon take a simple bulletproof coffee to the next level. Enjoy as breakfast or even an after-dinner dessert. Just make sure you’re sipping on decaf coffee or tea so you can sleep!
- Coconut cream or heavy whipping cream– Heavy cream gives you a thick keto butter coffee style base, without the butter! Try coconut cream if you’re dairy free but still want that nice thick keto coffee recipe.
- Liquid Stevia– This is meant to be a dessert keto coffee recipe, so don’t be afraid to be a little heavy handed with the stevia!
- Cocoa powder or cinnamon– Add a little unsweetened cocoa powder for the mocha coffee vibes, or cinnamon for a dirty chia style keto coffee.
- Coffee
Making These Four Coffees
To make the best keto coffee you will want to add your butter first; or oil instead, depending on the fat source you chose. We love the Vitamix and use it everyday for our keto coffee, but any blender will work just as well. You should then pour hot brewed coffee overtop to let it melt the fat/ butter in coffee. You can also use an immersion blender if you don’t have a regular blender. Then just blend everything together and serve hot to drink in the morning, or to break your fast!
Possible Additions
There are two schools of thought when it comes to Bulletproof coffee add-ins. You’ve got those who want to turn this drink into a delicious dessert-like treat, and those who want a purely functional fuel source. I tend to fall into the second camp, but let’s take a look at some options here:
Tasty Additions
- Cinnamon– This is probably the tastiest addition. It combines perfectly with the coffee and grass fed butter to give your keto coffee a great taste while not adding any artificial sweetness.
- Cocoa Powder– Some people swear by this, but I think it really depends on just how much you love chocolate. I find cocoa powder makes your Bulletproof keto coffee recipe bitter, so I’d advise everyone but the most die hard of cocoa fans to avoid this one.
- Stevia Drops– If you want to go the artificial sweetener route this is probably your best choice. A nice liquid keto-friendly sweetener that instantly turns your fatty coffee into dessert. Plus, because it is still a more natural form of sweetener, you are less likely to get a stomach ache.
- Sugar Free Syrups– These are right there with stevia drops. Instead of just sweetness though, these add different flavors to your Bulletproof coffee. I’ve found caramel to go really nicely with the buttery taste of the coffee.
Functional Additions
- Brain Octane: While I’m a bit skeptical of the claims of “18x more powerful than coconut oil”, this stuff is probably going to have some cognitive benefits when mixed into your bulletproof coffee. Do your research and if you’re convinced of it’s efficacy and have the funds, try it!
- Mct oil powder carries all the same benefits of MCT oil, but is much easier on the digestion system. If you don’t have mct oil you can always use coconut oil which is a less concentrated version of mct’s.
All of these are optional and are things you can experiment with after mastering the basic Bulletproof coffee. Comment below and let us know what your favorite additions are so we can add them to the list! If you’re looking for something to pair with your keto coffee for the perfect start to the day to break your fast, give our keto pancakes a try!
Dairy Free Keto Coffee
If you are someone who always looks for keto recipes without dairy, we have you covered. If you’re on a dairy free keto diet there are a few keto coffee swaps you can make to the traditional butter/ mct oil coffee, without making your drink high in net carbs. Some dairy free keto coffee recipes can be made with:
- Almond Milk– Unsweetened almond milk is perfectly keto friendly and will make a keto coffee that is lighter and smoother than using heavy cream.
- MCT Oil– Mct oil or medium chain triglycerides will work as a great fat source instead of butter coffee. The oil will make keto coffee creamy, and also aide in keeping you full if you want to try intermittent fasting.
- Coconut Oil– Coconut oil is another keto coffee recipe that’s rich in healthy fats and can replace coffee with butter. It’s is also cheaper than mct oil but still gives you some of the cognitive benefits.
- Coconut Cream– Coconut cream is the thick part of canned coconut milk. It’s low carb and sugar free because it doesn’t contain any of the coconut water. Add it to some brewed coffee and blend with an immersion blender, or regular blender for the best mix.
- Coconut Milk– Coconut milk is another lighter option to add to brewed coffee even if you didn’t want to make it bulletproof. Coconut milk has a little sugar when you buy the unsweetened version (1-2g) so you probably won’t even need any sweetener.
All of these dairy free options make keto coffee recipes a breeze. They blend best when added into hot coffee or freshly brewed coffee then blitzed with an immersion blender.
Keto Coffee Milk Alternatives
As you may already know milk is not keto friendly. While you may be able to drink some and still lose weight, we wouldn’t recommend it. It’s high in carbs and sugar from the lactose inside the milk, making it difficult to over consume carbs and calories. Fear not, we put together a list of some of the best keto ingredients that work as milk substitutes. Some of our favorite milk subs are:
- Heavy Cream– This is by far the favorite in our keto diet community. It blends well with butter in coffee if you use an immersion blender or hand frother. We love adding 1 tablespoon to 2 tablespoons in our keto coffee recipe for optimal creaminess.
- Half and Half– Half and half is just as it sounds, half cream half milk (aka lactose and sugar). It is about a gram higher in carbs for 1 tablespoon versus the 1 carb per 1 tablespoon of heavy cream. While it may be an extra gram of carbs, it is lower calorie so keep that in mind if you are trying to lose weight.
- Almond Milk– Almond milk is the OG dairy free milk option. It works well in everything from coffee with butter to typical savory keto recipes. Just make sure whichever almond milk brand you choose, the product is sugar free and low in net carbs (It will normally just say unsweetened).
- Unsweetened Coconut Milk/ Canned Coconut Milk– Both of these coconut milk options are low carb and full of healthy fats. Whenever we are doing dairy free keto we just sub heavy cream for coconut milk in our keto coffee recipes.
- Cashew Milk– They’ve milked pretty much every nut under the sun now and cashews were not forgotten! This is probably the second creamiest nut milk after coconut so we definitely don’t recommend skipping out on it. Unlike cashews, cashew milk is low carb and perfectly keto friendly for all your keto coffee recipe needs.
- Homemade Keto Creamer – We have a delicious recipe for homemade keto coffee creamer that can be made ahead of time and used for your morning coffees throughout the week.
These are the top most widely known and available low carb milk options. They are rich in healthy fats and make quick and easy additions to any of your keto coffee recipes.

Matt is a former college basketball player turned computer engineer who discovered his passion for health and nutrition after cutting sugar from his diet in 2016. That year he founded KetoConnect with Megha in order to share their ketogenic lifestyle through recipes, videos, and educational content. Matt is always seeking to grow and try new things, a passion he shares with his wife and two amazing sons.
Karla says
Ghee instead of butter? That’s all I have on hand. Does it change the beneficial properties significantly?
Matt Gaedke says
Nope, ghee might even be more beneficial as there is less milk fat in it. Lots of people make BPC with ghee.
Jonna says
Was wondering if sugar free non dairy flavored creamers are allowed in bulletproof coffee for flavor ??
Matt Gaedke says
We use them occasionally. Probably not the best, but if you enjoy them go for it.
Tony says
I’m a big fan of keto coffee but is a blender necessary? With hot coffee the ghee and MCT just need to be stirrred with a spoon. Is there some benefit to making it in a blender?
Matt Gaedke says
The fat doesn’t emulsify unless you blend it. If you enjoy it without blending it then that’s fine as well.
Sheree says
I wondered the same thing. Wanted to avaid a blender mess. But I use my Magic Bullet and 20 oz cup and it’s perfect! Especially good to add a little vanilla protein powder and a dash of Himalayan salt. The blender makes it nice and frothy. It’s delicious!
Trent Pietila says
Love adding lairds creamer to mine:)
Terri Lynn Hancock says
12 oz of coffee? That’s a lot of coffee to make one 12 oz cup. A bag of coffee is sometimes 12 oz.
Megha Barot says
12 oz coffee = 1.5 cups. That’s a normal serving for most people. We don’t mean 12oz of ground coffee which may be what you’re thinking.
Shanita says
Help…im new to the ketosis thing…I tried the coffee…drinking it as i type…Question: Do you have to add MCT oil and Coconut oil….?.
Matt Gaedke says
None of the ingredients are mandatory. You can make it with just heavy cream if you want. Just use what you have for now and start trying new things as you go!
Fina says
Hi. would like to try BPC with HWC and coconut oil. Not sure how much of each ingredient to add
I would also like to add protein powder that is gluten and dairy free without artificial sweetener for family. Any recommendations?
Olivia Kendrick says
The HWC and coconut oil is just whatever amounts you desire and what fits your macros. For the protein powder, maybe something like egg white protein powder.
Reuben says
I am currently offshore and only have access to butter. Would that work on its own with coffee ?
Megha Barot says
Yes, you can absolutely just add butter to your coffee! You’ll still be getting fats early on in the day.
Justin says
You can do
8oz coffee(your choice)
1tbsp butter
1tbsp coconut oil
Ashley says
Matt,
Can you use ghee instead of butter?
Matt Gaedke says
Yes you can! Lots of people do it. I still haven’t tried it but I’m going to tomorrow!
Chris says
Hi guy’s, just starting to learn all about Keto friendly recipes, thanks for all your posts/ YouTube info. I’m using coconut milk from the can, for my coffee lately is that ok?
Matt Gaedke says
Ya that’s fine!
Sweta says
i want to add protein +fats in the BFC or tbullet proof tea so can i add protein powder,egg,heavy cream,butter to get my protein and fats covered?
Matt Gaedke says
Ya that would be good. You might also want to take a look at collagen peptides.
Elizabeth says
Hi Matt, you mentioned some people use heavy whipping cream. Would that be an addition to your recipe or would I substitute hwcream for the butter? Thank you! I signed up for your book, can’t wait!
Matt Gaedke says
It can be either! If you don’t want the calories to start climbing super high I would probably do a sub. There’s really no rules with BPC. Just play around with the recipe to get it to your liking. If you want to use heavy cream in place of the butter in this recipe you could do 2-3 tablespoons.
Annette says
I use HWC and to cut back on the calorie count I just use 1/2 the amount of butter that I would normally use without the cream. It’s better than a Starbucks latte!! And keeps me satisfied until well after noon if I drink it around 8:00 am
Mindy says
My husband and I are just starting a keto way of eating. We are HUGE coffee drinkers, so this will be easy to incorporated. Is the BPC a meal replacement, or a substitute for our regular coffee (should we go ahead and eat our breakfast, too?)? Thanks for any advice!
David-Allan says
I’m in a similar boat and would be interested in people’s thoughts on these questions too.
Matt Gaedke says
It’s really up to you. Just keep in mind the full BPC recipe is around 300 calories, but it is high in fat which tends to make it very filling. Just incorporate it into your day as you see fit. I personally will have it with a small breakfast if I need an energy boost around noon. Also, I will sometimes have it on its own first thing in the morning. It’s something to experiment with and see what works for you!
Dee Edwards says
Matt what do you eat as a light breakfast?
Cass (KetoConnect) says
3 eggs and some bacon or something like that!
Lindsay says
I only have the kind of coconut oil that comes in a mason jar in a more solid dorm, and melt to use for cooking. Could this be used? I am just dipping my toes in the keto diet/low carb, and find myself not having some of the specialty oils, flours, spices, etc
Matt Gaedke says
Ya, coconut oil can be used for bulletproof coffee. Lots of people do that!
Theresa says
Can you use heavy cream and stevia in it?
Megha Barot says
You definitely can!
Kim says
I don’t drink coffee but would black tea work?
Matt Gaedke says
Yep, that would work perfectly.
Julia says
Yes it will work
Christine UK says
Interested in adding collagen peptides to my BPC. Assuming its also zero carbs. How much should i be adding please? Tia
Matt Gaedke says
Hi, I’ve been experimenting with them for the past month. It is zero carbs. I usually add 1 servings, which is 40 calories and 11g of protein. 11g by weight I believe.
June says
I love this coffee. I will have to try adding the flavorings. However, I love the taste of the basic BPC. Thank you Matt for all yalls recipes.
Matt Gaedke says
Thanks for giving our recipes a try June! Glad you’re enjoying them.
Sharon says
What about stevia blend made with reb A. Is that stevia your talking about. And butter and whipping creme for my coffee. I read that it was. Not sure
Jo says
What is BCP?
Keto Connect (Shannon) says
gcp is bulleet proof coffee!
sheri says
Bullet Proof Coffee
Shannon hagen says
I love this recipe but the nutritional facts can’t be right…. butter has cholesterol….
Matt Gaedke says
Ya, we only put the macronutrients into MyFitnessPal when we add it. We don’t add cholesterol, sodium, sugar etc.
Jocelyn says
I have been reading everything on your site and have committed myself to starting this new way of life. But I was noticing, for example, on the myfitnesspal app, the calorie count for BPC is 370 where on your site it is only 320. I’m just confused on which set of numbers to follow and track. I love your site guys by the way. Of all the sites I have come across, yours is the most real, down to earth, understandable one yet! Keep it up!!
Thanks!
Anthony DePalma says
Thats why I fired MyFitness Pal calories don’t matter. Ketosis Coffee is all fat no carbs thats the real deal. DR. Ken Berry nukes whole calorie counting argument. It is junk science at best.
Rondi says
I’ve noticed My fitness pal seems to be way off anyway. I looked up Starbucks Caramel full sugar syrup and the results came up saying it has 5g of carbs per serving and that seemed way off to me so the next day I walked into Starbucks and asked to see the bottle label and sure enough it has 22g/serving!!
Kathleen says
I believe it is 5+ grams of carbs per PUMP and 20+ per SERVING (4pumps).
Shellsea says
How do you add only the macro?
Matt Gaedke says
I’m not sure what you’re asking.
Marsha Engle says
I use simple stupid keto app. It’s easier for me than fitness pal.
Yvette says
Body needs cholesterol esp if coming from grass fed cows is very beneficial… We have been brain washed about cholesterol do your research before believing all you hear on fat and cholesterol… Brain needs cholesterol that’s why we have so many cases of dementia and Alzheimer’s because of all these low fat no cholesterol diets… Other countries eat plenty of healthy fats and cholesterol foods and these mental disorders we have in our country are almost unheard of in other countries
Cyndi says
Exactly! Big Pharma and the so-called medical society have brainwashed us. The food pyramid is upside down. Doctors get very little training on nutrition, and the training they do get is absolutely wrong. The AMA wants us to be treated with drugs, not nutrition which is free so they can’t make any money on us. Most of our modern diseases could be cured or prevented with proper nutrition.
KN says
Yeah, don’t kid yourself. Big Health Food/Nutraceuticals is no less guilty than Big Pharma and Big AgriFood of blowing smoke up your you-know in order to part you from your hard-earned dollars. The health food and supplements sector is now a multi-billion-dollar industry. And sketchy health food experts are a dime a dozen. Bottom line is the same as it’s always been: Caveat emptor — “Let the buyer beware.” Don’t believe every claim you hear or read on a label. There’s good stuff to be had, but you have to do your due diligence and use your common sense.
Marie GreenberG says
Your so right. Low fat & fat free are not good for you. My nutritionist said those foods are the worse for you
Chris says
I eas not aware they’d nailed down the cayses of Alzheimer’s.
Sara says
We need a proper ratio of good and bad cholesterol in our systems which is why keto is all about eating “good” fats. Obviously we should have a higher good cholesterol than bad. I’ve heard many people say that the keto diet regulated their cholesterol levels and they no longer have high (bad) cholesterol.
Calvin Smith says
You are absolutely right about being brainwashed, cholesterol is a major substance for the brain and it migrate to the sight to help repair blood vessels not clog them. We’ve been lied too. Change your macro to High fats, then proteins and low carbs.
JannyMaha says
Truuuuuuee! Yvette, that makes SO MUCH sense!!
I’m new to this site. Been doing keto and Intermittent Fasting for 2 months and BPC for 1 week. Came across this site to make sure I was doing BPC correctly. It doesn’t come out quite as light-colored as yours (or others). Then again, could be because I’m not using the right ingredients or appliance. I’m waiting to finish my Bustelo espresso coffee Keurig pods (waste not want not!) and then I’ll get the coffee beans, my blender broke a few months ago so using electric mixer with the whipping tool ?. Also, have salted butter. Coffee not bad-tasting, but can’t wait until I’m doing it like I’m supposed to!
I add collagen peptides, cinnamon, and honey (I know.. loaded in carbs, but I need for allergies so I’m hoping to be able to use less and less as time goes. I’m at ¾tsp right now ?).
Sunny says
Thanks for this comment, I found while checking for BLC after having my first cup today. Bought it because DH was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s and we’re followng the ReCODE Protocol of Dr. Dale Brdesen which has a rate of 80% reversal of some or all symptoms in early research.
I just want to discourage the use of artificial sweeteners other than stevia, especially if trying to treat or prevent Alzheimer’s because they are damaging to the gut microbiome.
Bethany Vega says
I like to add a scoop of zero carb vanilla protein powder. It gives me the protein I need for the morning & tastes great. I also like to add sugar free salted caramel syrup. Heaven!
Megha Barot says
I use the caramel syrup almost every morning in my BPC!! I love it
Teresa Davis says
Which brand syrups do you use?
Megha Barot says
I like to use stevia drops or we get the Acma store brand sugar free syrups which are similar to the Torani syrups, but cheaper!
Wendy says
What can you use to replace most of the artificial sweeteners? my daughter is allergic. Any suggestions?
Olivia Kendrick says
Stevia and monk fruit are not artificial, just make sure they aren’t mixed with something else like erythritol.
Margaret Hunter says
Erythritol is not an artificial sweetener.
Olivia Kendrick says
Yes, it comes from corn most of the time but it does add total carbs and that is why I said that. If you aren’t limiting total carbs, it would be fine to add 🙂
jmhoh says
Stevia drops or powder.
Mary says
Torani sugar free
Kimberly Nagy says
How much of the syrup do you use?
jay says
where do you get zero carb protein powder?? I want some!
ANGEL GARCIA says
GNC has several, isopure is one brand I can think of
Anthony DePalma says
Never ever shop marked up GNC!
Diane says
I found it on amazon, Jay. They have several flavors. I prefer plain cause you can add it to anything without changing the flavor. Just make sure you search for the zero carb ones…Isopure zero carb protein powder is the search I used.
Pete says
I add protein powder – not a full scoop, just abut a Tablespoon. It emulsifies the fat into the coffee so I don’t drink an oil slick. Protip: add the hot coffee to the fat, start your frother, THEN add the powder o it mixes before it clumps up from the hot liquid,
Mo Lockey says
What protein powder do you use ????
Megha Barot says
Our preferred is Isopure Cookies and Cream!
Cindy Link says
What is Idopure Cookies and Cream? Is it protein powder? Where do you purchase it? Thank you.
Megha Barot says
Isopure cocokies and cream is a protein powder and can be purchased on Amazon! We have a “Shop” page on our site that has it you can check out.
Jeff Johnson says
Cookies and cream also available at costco in vitamin section
Sonia Sharp says
The basic recipe is awesome. I added just a very tiny bit of powdered stevia. It was the first time I actually enjoyed drinking Bullet Proof Cofee. The trick is to use a blender to emulsify. It makes it so nice and creamy. Without the blender, the coffee is gross with a big oil slick on top.
Lisbeth bonnichsen says
