About Butter coffee

Butter coffee, often called "bulletproof coffee," is a creamy beverage made by blending hot coffee with unsalted butter and medium-chain triglyceride (MCT) oil, derived from coconuts. Originating from traditional Tibetan yak butter tea, it gained popularity through modern keto and low-carb diets as an energy-boosting alternative to breakfast. Loaded with healthy fats, butter coffee is praised for promoting satiety, mental clarity, and sustained energy by slowing the absorption of caffeine. The MCTs provide quick fuel for the brain, while butter contributes essential fatty acids and vitamins like A and K2. However, it’s calorie-dense and high in saturated fat, which may not suit everyone’s dietary needs or goals. Typically consumed in place of a meal, it aligns with intermittent fasting practices but lacks fiber and other nutrients found in whole food breakfasts. Butter coffee can be a convenient choice when mindful of balance and overall nutrition.
