Quick history on BPC-David Asprey created BPC while on his journey to discover self awareness, inner peace, yadda yadda...but he drank a cup of tea with butter in it while in Tibet. While he thought it was strange, he researched it and found out why. He became the founder of Bullet Proof Coffee and recently opened up Bullet Proof Coffee Shop in Santa Monica, CA.
So why butter? well the simple science behind it is that it curbs your appetite, aids in weight loss, and provides you with a longer lasting coffee buzz thus giving you more energy. Asprey states the importance of MCT oil that aids in brain focus. I personally use coconut oil and have yet to try MCT oil but they work kind of the same way, IMO. I also add a few drops of Stevia for sweetness. It's a lot better than the chemical junk and sugar I was drinking in my coffee before BPC.
So other than curbing my appetite, more energy and mental focus, I also love that it curbs the jittery side effects of coffee. The caffeine binds to the fats (butter and oil) to even out the buzz and make it last. I know there is a lot more fat in a cup of BPC (65 grams to be exact) but it's saturated fat and I use it as a meal replacement. It looks and sometimes tastes like a latte. I love the creamy frothy goodness I get when I blend it! I have a video of the process of making it and will search for it or make a new one to show you how I make my BPC! Be looking for it soon!:)
I love my BPC in the morning!
So what's your favorite drink in the morning?
