  Unfortunately unless it is strictly grass fed butter, you won’t see the same benefits. Grass fed cows produce milk with different nutrients than your other grain fed cows.

   I do this daily with coconut oil… but instead of butter,I use the tiniest amount of heavy cream. It’s so yummy that we recently went on vacation and I wasnt feeling satisfied with any coffee I had while away from home.

   I have been adding coconut oil to my coffee for years now (along with almond mild and a little stevia). I have noticed a difference in my skin and I swear it is adding coconut oil to food. I have never tried “blending” it. Will have to give that a try — looks like latte.

   So do you drink this coffee and not eat anything until dinner? I was a little confused about the fasting part on their website…
   wouldn’t this be bad for cholesterol to have 2tbsp butter each morning in your coffee? I am very interested just not sold yet

  Same here. I am interested in the theory behind this, but the original post says that the guy fasts until 9pm! That’s a long time for just 2 cups of coffee and only 509 calories. I’m all about eating healthy, but I always feel better when I do multiple small meals a day instead of 3 large meals.

  Grass fed butter (and meats) are better for you: https://www.deliciousobsessions.online/2012/03/butter-is-better-the-health-benefits-of-grass-fed-butter/

  Christine,
  Thanks for the info…I know that grassfed everything is better for you. Almost 90% of my food (meats, dairy, produce..etc) all onlinees from a local CSA…it’s all grassfed, organic, and certified humanely treated which are major things I care about. My biggest concern are the in the nutritional value. Consuming over your daily reonlinemended saturated fat in one cup of coffee really needs to have a strong argument and well supported research to make me decide to something like that every day. I love my coffee and my butter but I think I will keep them separate for now!

  Recent studies have shown that dietary fats do not affect your cholesterol as previously thought. Plus natural butter is a much healthier fat for you than manufactured margarine. Google it and see for yourself.

  Michelle, heating up proteins can denature them, so you may not be getting the full effectiveness that you’re hoping for with that. On the other hand, if all you want is to be full ’til lunch and that’s working for you, keep on truckin’! 😉

  I agree. It seems too good to be true. I tried this last month and it made me gain weight, my hair was super greasy, I was a little too regular if you know what I mean, and it tastes good but made me jittery and ravenous for food the rest of the day. I do not reonlinemend it at all.

    I have been using the full fat canned coconut milk which looks the same after I blend it up. I am currently on the Whole30 and was having a hard time drinking black coffee in the morning & this isn’t half bad. I still miss my sugar though.

    I always add butter and coconut oil to my coffee every morning. Recent studies show that saturated fat and cholesterol in food DOES NOT affect the cholesterol levels in blood. In fact, our liver makes cholesterol too and if there is a lot of inflammation in body ( from trans fats, vegetable oils, excess carbs) liver will produce extra cholesterol which will then float in your blood.

    I have been eating high fat, moderate protein and low carb for 2 years, went from 210 pounds to 155, my lab work is great and I have lots of energy!

    this is extremely confusing to me…how does oil taste creamy? i like my coffee to be creamy and sugary – – i gave up international french vanilla months ago, and have since been using So Delicious French Vanilla Coconut Milk Creamer. it really is So Delicious, but it is WAYYYY too expensive. would love to re-create that recipe cheaply and easily at home. does this oil coffee taste like french vanilla?

  It emulsifies. Similar to adding olive oil to vinegar in a blender while making salad dressing.
  It really keeps the energy level up, is great for cholesterol and has helped with memory and hair for me 🙂 I’ve only been doing it for about 6 weeks…I also only 1/2 T not a full T of coconut oil, and just a touch of creAm to make it a shade lighter.

  Depends on the coconut oil. If you get refined coconut oil, that doesn’t have the coconutty taste. I’m using Vitacost “house” brand and it’s pretty good. I ordered the virgin coconut oil and that one has a very strong coconut flavor.

    Do you have to use a blender to mix the coffee and coconut oil? Or can just stir the coconut oil in? Seems like a lot of work to add a spoonful of coconut oil. Thanks in advance!

  You have to use a blender that is not air tight. Stirring with spoon will do nothing, the oil will float on top of coffee. You need to use a blender to make it creamy

  I use my magic bullet to blend my coffee, coconut oil, cinnamon, and half & half. I don’t think stirring it in would give the same frothiness. It is sooo delicious! I’ve been drinking my coffee this way for almost two years.

    I actually just heard about adding coconut oil to coffee a few weeks back when shopping at the health food store, I’ve been using coconut oil for a few years now, it started when I was on my low carb diet, I would make my freezer almond fudge (yummmm) and cook with it but now even though not on the low carb anymore I still enjoy using coconut oil. I add it to my oatmeal instead of margarine or butter but when I was told about adding it to coffee they did not say anything about blending it to make if frothy like your photo I just added it to my coffee while hot and drink it but it does look a lot better blending it and kind of makes you think you are having something special, I must try it this way, thanks for this info!!

    I am a healthcare professional and recently attended an all day CE given by a Harvard doc. Anyway, I was shocked to see the same recipe provided by him as well. It was part of a presentation on ketogenic diet. It has been shown to actually lower body fat and cholesterol even though you ingest a lot more fat. That being said, I am not sold on drastic diets. I can’t imagine how long term high fat diet is good on the spleen or other GI organs. Personally, I think the best diet in the world is eating a balance of unprocessed foods, nothing that onlinees prepackages…..which we knows is easier said than done 🙂

    Yummy…I added my toast, egg and jelly. What a delicious breakfast in a mug! But seriously. …I was doing a lot of coconut oil medicinally last year and my blood work showed that my cholesterol went up but it was all HDL. The bad cholesterol LDL had gone down.

    I’ve been adding a TBSP of unrefined coconut oil to my coffee for the past year. My skin and hair have never been better. As a matter of fact, I didn’t have any during my 2 wk vacation last fall and went without it for another couple weeks afterward.There was a noticeable difference. My doctor was so impressed with all the result from my blood tests that she asked what I’ve done differently. And, while it keeps you full for a bit longer than just black coffee, it is by no means a meal replacement.

    Thanks Collin, I love this recipe! Have been doing it for a while now! I’ve been on a Low Carb High Fat diet for about 6 months now and I love it! I found an awesome support group on facebook, called “Low Carb and Losing it…”, it has over 53,000 members. If anyone is interested, check it out – this type of coffee is a staple for the low carber! You don’t get fat from fat! On the contrary, if you are doing low carb, you need to eat more fats to be losing more weight!
