Why You Should Put Butter in Coffee

Gives you more energy

Heartweed:  I have tried the coconut oil method in the blender and it is really good. I have not tried the butter yet. Unsalted Grass fed butter!!!! There is a huge difference. I use kerry gold butter. 

Adding butter or coconut oil boosts energy.  Pairing grass-fed butter and coconut oil with coffee will not only supply but help with the absorption of healthy fat soluble vitamins A, D, E, K & K2 and healthy fatty acids such as conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) and medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs).

Helps with weight-loss

Coffee is a potent thermogenic. It increases metabolic rates and fat mobilization which promotes fat loss.  Thus, adding coconut oil  (another thermogenic) and grass-fed butter makes it a very effective way to shed pounds.  It also makes you feel full until lunch so you don’t feel compelled to snack.

Improves brain function

Butter provides the perfect balance of omega-3 and omega-6 fats.  Arachidonic acid contained in butter  plays a role in brain functions and is a vital component of cellular membranes.
