Let me tell you about my best friend…coffee.
I actually look forward to going to bed so that I can wake up and drink coffee. It’s my favorite way to start my morning. Funny thing is I haven’t always loved coffee. Then I slowly started drinking it on days I was really tired because it seemed that’s what other adults did, but to get it to work for me I used to load it with sugar and flavored creamers. As I started learning more and more about healthy eating I started to eliminate the sugar and switched to regular half and half. THEN I was introduced to…wait for it…grass fed butter blended coffee. Don’t throw up yet. The thought of drinking butter used to make me gag, too. BUT, I’m telling you, it is the BEST coffee I’ve ever had – it makes it so creamy! Lately I’ve been adding extra ingredients that make it a power packed cup of coffee.
Ingredients:
- Start with your favorite coffee, preferably organic
- 1 tbsp. Kerry Gold grass fed butter
- 1 scoop MCT Oil Powder
- 1 scoop Collagen Peptides
- Blend for 30 seconds
Let me tell you all of the benefits this cup of coffee has to offer:
Benefits of butter (healthy fats):
Blending your coffee with butter provides your body with healthy fats that’s fuel for your brain and keeps you satiated longer. It’s perfect to drink before a work out if you don’t have much time to eat or don’t like to eat before your work out.
Benefits of MCT Oil:
MCT oil can help with weight loss and improve the ability to think and boost endurance during a work out. When I add this to my coffee I feel like I have more mental clarity, and it’s tasteless!
Benfits of Collagen Peptides:
Now, this stuff is my favorite! Collagen is the most abundant protein in our body helping with healthy joins, hair, skin, and nails. However, the older we get the less our bodies produce. My nails have never grown faster since I started mixing this in my coffee and they feel stronger, too! I noticed improvement in my nail health within a week of using this stuff. It’s amazing, and tasteless, too!
