Bulletproof Coffee with Coconut Oil

Bulletproof Coffee with Coconut Oil 

Coconut oil gives you extra alertness, boosts brain function, and suppresses hunger cravings. Blending the coconut oil with the coffee makes the coffee taste creamy and frothy. I love the hint of coconut mixed with coffee. Plus it will give you energy throughout the day rather than a quick burst of energy you may experience when you drink a regular cup of joe.

Blend in Vitamix or food processor until frothy.

Optional:

Blend a splash of soy milk with a couple tablespoons of black coffee. It will turn frothy. Pour on top of the bulletproof coconut oil coffee.

Sick Tea

Mom’s Magic Sick Tea

My mom would try to make me drink this tea when I was younger (and I wouldn’t touch it) but it has become my best friend when I am under the weather.

2 tsp lemon (I quarter and squeeze one whole lemon)

2 tsp vinegar

2 tsp honey/maple syrup/agave

2 tsp olive oil

2 tsp cayenne

2 c hot water

If you are ambitious, boil the water with chopped fresh ginger and use the ginger water to make the tea.
