Benefits of Bulletproof Coffee
For those of you who have been following me for awhile know that I have been on a low carb diet, or vegan keto diet.
A vegan keto diet consists of low carb, high fat, and moderate protein foods. It puts your body into a state of ketosis, which means you are being fueled by almost completely fat.
Since being on it, I have had no seasonal allergy symptoms, which is a game changer for me.
Many people on a keto diet drink bulletproof coffee first thing in the morning, because they want to continue their fast. It keeps hunger at bay, is said to improve mental function, jump-starts your digestion, and stabilizes coffee’s effect on blood sugar.
Even though having bulletproof coffee first thing in the morning has all those benefits, I prefer to have my bulletproof coffee after my morning smoothie, around mid-morning, after I have some protein in my system. I still get the effects of the coffee, and the caffeine lasts for a long time because it has coconut oil in it.
Bulletproof coffee calls for non-toxic coffee, free of herbicides and pesticides. It also contains MCT fats. One ingredient that bulletproof coffee normally has in it is grass fed butter, which obviously isn’t happening here, so today I share with you a Vegan Bulletproof Coffee.

Great Way to Add Coconut Oil to Your Diet
Bulletproof coffee is not only a great way to add coconut oil to your diet, but it also helps the caffeine to last longer and digest at a slower rate. Just the fact that the caffeine lasts longer than regular coffee is a bonus for me!
I admit that it takes a little getting used to having coconut oil in your coffee, but I find that it helps to add a little almond milk or full fat coconut milk for an even better consistency. I especially like the coconut milk because it has the consistency of whipped cream, so it feels more indulgent.
When you blend the concoction, it creates a creamy texture. Unlike if you were to put a dollop of coconut oil into your coffee, which has a consistency just like you would think: oily. There have been times that I have done that too, out of sheer laziness. I really don’t mind it as long as I add some almond or coconut milk too.

Vegan Bulletproof Coffee
Whether you are on a vegan keto plan, or want to add more coconut oil into you diet, this Vegan Bulletproof Coffee is for you!
Ingredients
- 1 cup organic coffee**
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil or coconut butter*
- 2 tablespoons - 1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk or full fat coconut milk optional
- 5 drops stevia optional
Instructions
-
Blend freshly brewed coffee with the rest of ingredients in a blender. Coconut oil blends better with hot coffee.
Recipe Notes
I prefer coconut oil over coconut butter. I liked the consistency and taste better, but I include coconut butter because it is also a good way to include coconut into your diet.
**Important! If you are gluten free you may want to avoid coffee altogether. I personally have never had a problem drinking it, and I have a gluten intolerance. It is probably because I drink whole bean organic coffee, and grind it myself. I just learned after posting this recipe from some readers on Facebook that it can be problematic for people who don't tolerate gluten. So I did some research and one article mentioned to try organic whole bean coffee because it isn't highly processed causing cross-reactivity issues. So please do the research yourself, and test it out. I try to only post recipes that are 100% gluten free since I have a gluten intolerance. I am really careful about avoiding gluten in my daily life, so this was all news to me.

I don’t drink coffee because I was never able to get used to the taste, although I do love the smell. However, I LOVE coconut and this Bulletproof Coffee makes me want to try it just to taste! 🙂
Willow Moon says
You could also add coconut oil to tea. I got a comment from a reader in a Facebook group who adds coconut oil to matcha tea.
Lauren says
You can also use ghee with the coconut oil and it tastes awesome 🙂
Lauren says

I’ll keep the reply in case I have vegetarian readers. 🙂

Nicole says
I still haven’t gotten on the coconut oil in coffee bandwagon, but I’ll give it a shot. I use it for everything else haha
Willow Moon says
Blending it really makes a difference! It doesn’t taste oily, but creamy instead!
Anfisa Miasnikov says
I have been using mct coconut oil and cacao butter instead of raw butter. I use a hand blender/frother. I shave the cacao butter into my coffee cup and voila, I have a lovely latte’.
Willow Moon says
Cacao butter sounds like a great addition! I will have to try that!
Megan says

Reyna says
Has anyone tried this with coconut cream? Instead of having to use coconut oil AND almond milk?
Willow Moon says
I have used coconut milk (along with coconut oil) and love it. The main reason for using coconut oil instead of just coconut milk or coconut cream is to add fat with less carbs. And the unsweetened almond milk is for consistency. You could definitely leave out the coconut oil and almond milk and use coconut cream instead, just keep in mind the carbs and fat if you’re on the keto diet.

Hello,
I am not diabetic but my HBA1c came 5.9 this time, which is much higher than usual. I would still like to take precautions. Would like to know other options of stevia.
Thank you,
