In last week’s blog post, we learned that coffee is actually good for you and may help you live longer. Coffee on its own may provide a number of health benefits, but some creative minds have decided to try making coffee even better for you… and they’ve done it in the unlikeliest of ways.   Butter and coffee?   Bulletproof Coffee is a trend that’s swept the innovative Silicon Valley. A combination of coffee, high-quality butter, and coconut oil creates the most counterintuitive of health concoctions. With all the extra calories, it’s meant to be a meal replacement for those who don’t eat breakfast. This unique blend is supposed to trigger weight loss by kicking the fat-burning process into overdrive, kill hunger cravings, eliminate caffeine jitters, and boost cognitive function.   So does Bulletproof Coffee really live up to the hype?   The idea of Bulletproof Coffee comes originally from the Tibetan practice of adding yak butter to tea, which keeps energy levels elevated in the high altitude of the Himalayas. Many have claimed to reap these same benefits by drinking Bulletproof Coffee, while others remain unconvinced. What’s perhaps the most surprising, though, is that in spite of the greasy texture, it actually tastes pretty good!   It’s up to you to decide whether or not it’s the right way for you to give your coffee a boost, but if you’re feeling adventurous, then it’s worth a try. You can find a variety of gourmet, organic coffees to test out this new sensation at Lucia & Co.!
