Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 10-14 ounces of unsweetened almond or coconut drinking milk (divided)
- 1-2 teaspoons coconut oil (naturally refined for less coconut taste)
- 1 Tablespoon MCT oil, regular or vanilla flavored (use less to begin with if you sensitive to fat or new to drinking bulletproof coffee)
- 1/2-2/3 cup strong-brewed coffee, prepared and chilled. Around 3-4 Tablespoons ground dark roast organic coffee brewed with 1 cup water. (see notes for prep options)
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla and/or hazelnut extract
- Optional sweetener of choice - 1 Tablespoon maple syrup, honey, or xylitol (note: honey is not vegan)
Instructions
- Optional, before you brew: Vegan milk ice cubes – Mix 1/3 cup almond/coconut milk with 1-2 teaspoons of coconut oil. Pour in ice tray and freeze until ice cubes are formed. You can also use regular ice cubes, crushed ice, or plain frozen almond/coconut milk without the coconut oil.
- Make your coffee. Brew coffee (3-4 Tbsp of organic dark roast ground blend) with 1 cup or less water. I prefer using a French press or stovetop method. If using stove top, strain coffee in a French press or use organic filter. This method helps create bolder flavor and strength of brew. (see notes)
- Place strained coffee in large container and in fridge to chill.
- Once the ice cubes have frozen and your coffee is cooled, remove from fridge.
- Blend together the remaining almond/coconut milk with MCT oil and the brewed coffee. You can do this in a blender or by hand. I prefer a blender to get extra frothy! Mix in the vanilla and any sweetener of choice, if using.
- Pour the blended bulletproof coffee into two small glasses, then add your ice cubes on top.
- Pour extra almond milk or coconut creamer on top and swirl together with coffee
- Sip and enjoy as the ice cubes melt into your coffee giving it even more “buttery” flavor and energy!
Notes
Coffee preparations – If you don’t have a french press, feel free to use regular drip coffee method. You will need at least 1/2 c or more strong brewed coffee.
No coffee maker? No problem! You can brew coffee using the stove top method. You will just need a strainer for the coffee once brewed.
For HOT coffee (vegan bulletproof coffee), just skip the ice cubes and blend all together when hot.
