“I am one of those lucky ladies whose hubby brings me coffee in bed every morning. Also known as Caveman coffee, this is Funnyman’s version of our morning cuppa. One of these in the morning and I rarely eat breakfast because I am full and satisfied for many hours. Some days I have two cups and it satiates me until dinnertime! It is commonly made in a blender, but we are busy people and can’t be bothered. Invest in a mini whisk and you will save yourself plenty of money and time. The most important thing is that the fats are emulsified in the hot coffee. I like sweet coffee, and use Truvia sweetener. If you are starting off, use only a teaspoon MCT Oil then gradually increase the amount to one tablespoon because too much too soon can sometimes go right through you – much like a bullet…” – Monya

More on Bulletproof Coffee…
Bulletproof coffee made with collagen powder and MCT oil is an excellent choice for a keto breakfast. First, it provides a healthy dose of high-quality fats, a cornerstone of the ketogenic diet. MCT oil, a quick source of energy, helps kickstart the body into a state of ketosis, where it burns fat for fuel instead of carbohydrates. This not only supports weight loss but also promotes mental clarity and sustained energy throughout the morning.

Collagen powder offers additional benefits. It’s rich in amino acids, particularly glycine, which supports connective tissues, joint health, and skin elasticity. Moreover, collagen can help stave off hunger pangs, reducing the urge to snack between meals, a common challenge for those on a keto diet.
Bulletproof coffee’s creamy, satisfying texture mimics that of a traditional breakfast beverage, making it a convenient and delicious choice. Its combination of healthy fats and collagen also contributes to improved skin, hair, and nail health. Plus, the absence of carbs ensures minimal impact on blood sugar levels, helping to stabilize energy levels throughout the day.
It is important to note that to maintain ketosis, it’s essential to track carbohydrate intake and ensure it aligns with your daily macro goals. Consulting with a healthcare professional is advised before making significant dietary changes.

Bulletproof Coffee
Per serving
Ingredients
- 40 g (1.4 oz) double cream
- 1 TB MCT oil
- 1 serving hot coffee
Instructions
- Add the cream and MCT oil into your coffee cup. Use a mini whisk to whisk the mixture until fats have emulsified. If you like sweet coffee (like I do!), add sweetener now too.
- Place your mug under your coffee machine, pop in the pod and prepare as normal. Give it one more thorough whisk until the fats have emulsified in the hot coffee - and enjoy!
The macros exclude the use of sweetener. I bake using a different brand of Erythritol, but as mentioned in the head note, I love Truvia in my coffee. It has a subtle vanilla flavour.
UPDATE: I now also add Collagen Powder to my BPC.

I really love dairy milk in my coffee and struggle with the taste of the non dairy milks. Please can you suggest a good one or most like cows milk xx thank you xx
Hi Sally, I am not sure I understand your query. This coffee recipe does feature dairy: high fat, low lactose cream (called Double Cream in the UK and HEAVY CREAM in the USA). Cream is a better option on keto compared to regular milk. Regular milk is higher in lactose (a sugar). More so, since milk is lower in fat, it is unlikely to satiate you as much as a creamy coffee like this one will. I hope this helps? Monya xx
Drop me a line if you have any questions or comments about this recipe. I will do my best to reply as soon as possible! Monya xxx
