Forget the cream and sugar. Adding a pat of butter to your morning coffee can help you kick your day into overdrive—at least, according to advocates of the Bulletproof Coffee trend.
Bulletproof Coffee, which is basically just a cup of black coffee with grass-fed butter and medium-chain triglycerides (MCT) oil mixed in, was designed by Dave Asprey, owner of Bulletproof Executive, to "supercharge your brain function and create effortless fat loss with no cravings." Now, Paleo dieters and grass-fed butter fanatics alike are adding the butter-and-oil combo to their javas. Matt Lauer has even taste-tested a steaming-hot mug of butter coffee on The TODAY Show.
