How to make Bulletproof Coffee

Ever wondered about all the hype of Bulletproof Coffee? I can’t take credit for this idea. It’s all Dave Asprey, one of the most popular podcasters in the health world.

I heard about this idea of butter in my coffee a few years ago. My trainer was drinking butter in his coffee daily and LOVED it. This idea sounded gross to me. I think of butter on my sweet potatoes or in my “Faux-tatoes“, but yuck, never in coffee. I think it’s because when most people think of butter, they think of salted butter, but this bulletproof coffee uses unsalted butter (MUCH different!).

A Week in My Paleo Life: Late June

By Monica Bravo 2 Comments

Summer has given me the time for all of my daily needs. Sunlight, healthy food, great workouts, play, and about 8 hours of sleep. It’s been a great time to reboot, and recharge for the next school year. And weirdly enough, I’m getting excited to get back into school schedule! I’m not afraid to say I like studying and school.. a lot!

After rereading some of my favorite Paleo books, I have gotten back into a 3 meal schedule. During school, it’s 2 or 1 or random snacks. Always Paleo food, but not routine, which is not good for my hormones. My body needs schedule and regular meals, so that’s what I’m going to give it! So far I’ve felt more energized, and it’s easier to wake up bright and early (around 7). I hate the feeling of not wanting to get out of bed, and this 3 meal thing is making me excited to get up, workout, and eat breakfast. Ironically, I did do a post at some point about how I didn’t think we needed breakfast. But it’s all experimental, and I have to see what works best for me and my body….

Paleo Oatmeal

Today I’ll be sharing a recipe called, Better Than Oatmeal! This Paleo Oatmeal recipe is perfect for when you want something sweet and filling for breakfast.

I am actually not a huge fan of “Paleo-ifying” everything. Paleo muffins, paleo pizza, paleo donuts, I’m not sure any of those are actually Paleo. I believe when you switch from a Standard American Diet to a Real Food Diet, your meals should emphasize real food, and not try to emulate your old favorites. But in the case of this recipe, the ingredients are all real food. Eggs, fruit, and nuts. And it’s not really faking anything! For more on this topic, I like Stupid Easy Paleo’s post called “Why Paleo Donuts Suck”. I’ll have to agree with her on that!…
