How To Make The Perfect Bulletproof Matcha

Today we want to shine the light on how bulletproof drinks can transform your mornings!

We’ve probably all suffered from the dreaded Monday morning feeling (some suffer from it every week…eek!), and while we may have the best of intentions – there are the mornings where we just don’t spring out of bed.

That’s why we love a mug of bulletproof matcha. It’s packed full of antioxidants from the blend of matcha green tea with coconut oil, making it the perfect drink to give you that extra boost to start your day.

First things first – what is a bulletproof drink?

Bulletproof drinks are typically made with organic coffee, MCT oil, grass-fed butter and milk of your choice. While not all these ingredients are necessary, MCT oils are the very essence of what makes bulletproof coffee a powerful drink.

MCT oils – otherwise known as medium-chain triglyceride oils – are a type of fat that is commonly found in coconuts or dairy products. They are different to other fats because they are processed in a different way: they go straight from the gut to the liver.

From there, they are used as a source of energy or turned into ketones. Ketones are produced when the liver breaks down a lot of fat, and are used by the brain for energy (instead of glucose or sugar).

This is why MCT oils have been shown to boost cognitive function, energy levels, stamina, endurance and even balance blood sugar levels.

So where can you find MCT oils?

Coconut oil naturally contains roughly 60% MCT oil. It’s often a staple cupboard ingredient – and it tastes delicious – which is why it’s the perfect component in a morning bulletproof matcha.
