Notes

  • MCT oil is keyย for energy and fat burning โ€” start with ยฝ tablespoon if youโ€™re new to it, then build up.
  • Blending is crucialย โ€” donโ€™t just stir or shake it. Blending creates that creamy texture like a latte.
  • Want extra spice? Add a pinch ofย cayenne pepperย for metabolism support.
  • If using protein powder, go withย unflavored or vanillaย to keep it clean.
  • Avoid drinking itย too late in the dayย โ€” caffeine + MCT = major energy spike.

When to Drink It for Best Results

When you drink it matters, timing boosts the benefits

Timing can really change the effectiveness of this drink, so this section would break that down:

  • Morning (Fast Breaker): Drink it as your first โ€œmealโ€ to prolong your fast while getting nutrients โ€” great for intermittent fasting and stable energy.
  • Pre-Workout: Itโ€™s a perfect pre-workout drink. The fats fuel your workout, and the caffeine improves endurance and fat oxidation.
  • Low-Energy Days: Use it mid-morning or early afternoon (before 2โ€“3 PM) on days youโ€™re low on energy but want to avoid snacking or overeating.
  • Avoid Late Evenings: Due to caffeine and energy-boosting fats, this drink can interfere with sleep if consumed too late.

How It Compares to Bulletproof Coffee and the โ€œCoffee Loopholeโ€ Trend

This recipe takes inspiration from Bulletproof Coffee, using healthy fats like MCT oil and grass-fed butter to boost energy and support fat metabolism. But it goes a step further by adding optional protein and spices like cinnamon to improve satiety and blood sugar control โ€” without the high price tag or overhyped branding.

Compared to the viral โ€œcoffee loopholeโ€ trend (drinking coffee with fats to “hack” fasting), this version is more balanced and backed by real nutritional strategy. It supports intermittent fasting, curbs cravings, and actually fuels your body โ€” not just tricks your hunger.
