Bulletproof

Caffeine purge lives on for another day or so, and as I solemnly sip on an apricot and lemon infusion I cannot help but talk about a coffee I had the other day.
Other day meaning a couple days back. And yes, I wasn't meant to drink it considering I was still on a purge, but since I was a guest I didn't think it'd be polite to refuse something the host well knew I drank, which is to say coffee.
Now the coffee I was offered was something of a fad from a few year back and I had no idea people still drank it.
The coffee in question was 'bulletproof coffee' developed some years ago to keep a person energized without crashing as one is wont to I guess. A phenomenon largely restricted to avid coffee drinkers/addicts and I'm hardy one of those.
Right, so this coffee involves coffee proper brewed in whatever manner one likes and blended with good quality butter and coconut oil. Yes, you heard me right.
It's meant to supply endless amounts of energy to the drinker and that does hold true because I was pretty energetic, so much so that it enabled me to sit long hours scribbling on a drawing.
But coming back to the coffee that looked something of a frappe after getting blended with a goodly amount of butter and coconut oil, and a bit of sugar in mine, for which I'm thankful because otherwise I wouldn't have been able to drink it.
Not that it's bad or disgusting, I mean I didn't think anything else other than that it was definitely an acquired taste, one that's set you back a good 600-700 calories first thing in the morning.
It's okay if you're thinking of running or doing a long bout of HIIT, but in case the drinker leads a life spent much in a reclining position then bulletproof coffee would pretty much prove a bullet for a system if taken long term.

So yeah, bulletproof or not, this ain't the kind of coffee I'll be drinking anytime soon again, not because of any other reason except that I've never much cared for butter or fat in my tea or coffee. I mean I never liked buttermilk tea and I'm a tea lover to the power max, and coconut oil as much as I love it, I wouldn't want to drink it inside of a coffee.
