Morning Coffee Miracle

 ...1 blender/bullet
+ 1 heaping tblsp of coconut oil
+ 1 strong cup of coffee, some sweetener to taste {stevia/xylitol}
THIS happens...


 ...a little miracle happens in my morning coffee that makes me smile...I'm no scientist - a simple chemical reaction, I guess, or just the emulsifying of the oil {is that both?}...


Ma Belle Mere {the French have such better words for Mother In Laws - don't you think?} doesn't mind just mixing coconut oil right in her coffee. But that may not be for the faint of heart - which in this case, I am.

I don't have to tell you that coconut oil is good for you!!! It's all over the internet, books and articles. However lots of people are probably unaware of the years of conspiracy and cover-up, hiding the health benefits of this great stuff for corporate profit. Thanks to whistle blowers like the Weston A Price Foundation and Dr Mercola the word has gotten out. Fat Ain't Bad!

My children have said that I'm a nicer mother when I have coffee - which was a wake up call for to change my own behavior. Children reflect our attitudes...there's merit to the scripture, 'don't try to take the splinter out of someone else's eye, when there is a plank of wood in your own'...It's a daily adventure to choose to relax, and breath in the blessing and breath out the blessing. 

Warmly,

  1. So what exactly is in your coffee? Just coffee and the coconut oil?

  2. Thanks for the post and the reminder to start this up again :) I love the lasting energy it gives you! I also add grass fed butter (when I can get it!) and cinnamon to my bulletproof coffee, it makes it so creamy! The best "latte" around!

    1. Naomi - I've only once had it with some organic butter - but not yet grass fed butter - I sure would like to try it...sounds amazing! I'll add cinnamon next time; thanks for the tip!

  3. I need one of those little mixer thingies! I am a cold-brew coffee addict.
