03Coffee | The original recipe advocates specific coffee types that are less likely to contain mold and toxins. To steal a line from PLee, “I like coffee, even when it’s bad.” With discerning taste like that, splurging on a bag of Starbuck’s was as far as I was willing to go. |
Oil | The original recipe includes some special medium chain fatty acid oil that you can order from The Bulletproof® Exec’s web site. Um, no thanks. A little bit of chemistry knowledge and some research revealed coconut oil to be a reasonable substitute. Eight dollars and one trip to my local food mart later, I had what I needed. |
Butter | Unsalted, grass fed butter is recommended in the original recipe. Somehow I couldn’t track down a package of Kerrygold in time to brew my first batch and rolled with the Land O’ Lakes lady that’s been buttering my toast for decades now. I was able to make up a second batch using Kerrygold butter later on, though I didn’t notice a huge difference in taste. |
Sugar | There is no sugar in the original recipe, but I always take sugar in my coffee and wasn’t about to stop now. |
