☕ Buttered Coffee (a.k.a. Primal Fat Coffee)

Forget sugary lattes and cream-filled concoctions—Buttered Coffee is your high-octane, clean-fuel alternative to kickstart the day. Inspired by bulletproof and primal traditions, this creamy, frothy drink blends quality coffee with healthy fats to create sustained energy, mental clarity, and appetite control without spiking blood sugar.

It’s more than coffee—it’s a functional morning ritual that feeds your brain and body.

⚡ Brewed Coffee

Coffee isn’t just a caffeine fix—it’s a metabolic enhancer and antioxidant powerhouse:

  • Contains chlorogenic acids, which may support fat burning and reduce inflammation

  • Provides mental alertness and focus via natural caffeine

  • Rich in polyphenols, supporting brain and heart health

Choose high-quality, organic beans for the cleanest energy.

🥥 Coconut Oil

Coconut oil brings quick-burning fat and creamy richness:

  • Loaded with MCTs (medium-chain triglycerides) for fast, clean energy—perfect for keto or intermittent fasting

  • Supports brain function and metabolic health

  • Has antimicrobial properties from lauric acid

It gives you smooth fuel without the crash.

🧈 Unsalted Butter or Ghee

Butter or ghee adds creamy flavor and fat-soluble nutrients:

  • Contains butyrate, a short-chain fatty acid that supports gut and brain health

  • Rich in vitamins A, D, E, and K2, essential for hormone and immune function

  • Helps keep you full and satisfied, reducing cravings

Ghee is lactose- and casein-free, ideal for those with dairy sensitivities.

🛠️ Alternative: Swap with extra coconut oil for a dairy-free version.

🧂 Pinch of Sea Salt

Just a pinch does wonders:

  • Enhances the flavor and balances bitterness

  • Replenishes electrolytes, especially important for those on low-carb or fasting protocols

  • Supports adrenal health and hydration

It subtly amplifies both flavor and function.

🍯 Honey or Maple Syrup (Optional)

For a touch of natural sweetness:

  • Both offer antioxidants and trace minerals, unlike refined sugar

  • Can support glycogen replenishment post-workout or in high-demand mornings

Use only if needed, and opt for raw honey or pure maple syrup in small amounts to stay primal-friendly.

🧠 Why It Works

Blending healthy fats with coffee slows caffeine absorption, giving you longer, smoother energy without jitters. It also helps you stay in fat-burning mode, making it perfect for those practicing intermittent fasting, low-carb, or ketolifestyles.

🔥 Your Morning Power-Up

Buttered Coffee is more than just a drink—it’s a primal tool for productivity, energy, and metabolic balance. Blend it, sip it, and go conquer your morning—with clarity and strength.
