Found this online!!!
http://www.bulletproofexec.com/bulletproof-coffee-recipe/

I have wet processed organic coffee beans in my fridge. The oil they used is cold pressed coconut and or palm oil. I'll use my coconut oil. As for butter, I'll just use plain old unsalted butter.

Copied recipe & tweaked it for my own use, sharing it with you:

Bullet Proof Coffee

Ingredients

2 tbs unsalted butter (up to 6 tbsp)
1-2 tbsp of cold pressed coconut oil
2 cups of hot coffee brewed with low-toxin beans wet process coffee

5 Steps To Bulletproof Your Coffee

#1 Make coffee: Brew coffee as you normally would.  Make sure it’s the right kind of coffee. Use a brown paper filter.

#2 Pre-heat blender: Boil extra water and pour it into a blender while your coffee brews to pre-heat the blender.

#3 Froth: Empty hot water from the now pre-heated  blender and add the brewed coffee, butter, and oil.  Blend  until there is a thick layer of foam on top like a latte. A Blend-tec or Vitamix blender will do it quickly, a normal countertop blender takes longer, and a handblender works ok if you don’t have a real blender.

#4  (optional) Add cinnamon, vanilla, dark chocolate,  or a sweetener like Stevia, erythritol, or xylitol

#5 : Put on a satisfied look and enjoy the high performance buzz from your creamy mug of Bulletproof Coffee as you watch your chubby, tired coworkers eat low-fat yogurt and twigs for breakfast.  It’s almost unfair.

I agree, Shawn!... It's yummy!!! ;D ;D ;D

I'll occasionally add butter and/or coconut oil to my coffee with some FTS zero for a treat.
Blending butter and/or coconut oil into coffee gives it a rich, creamy latte smoothness. ;D

I'll have to try the butter in my coffee idea!  One of the many things that the FTS lifestyle is teaching me, is to try different things with your foods and drinks...I've been slowly stepping out of my compfort zone to try new things.  For me FTS has made food something fun again...with trying new recipes and all.  :D ;D :D ;D
Wishing you love, joy, peace, light, and laughter for every moment in your life;)

Every so often I open a can of coconut cream and use it in my coffee. 1c/100ml (400ml can so 4c). Makes for a nice change. Smells great also.

I think I would miss chocolate more than coffee but really I couldn't imagine living without either of them.  I'm so sorry Umpa  :'(  I hope you feel better soon

Umpa, I did not know that with anemia you can't drink coffee or have chocolate, (shows how much I know ha ha).  But the good thing is that the FTS lifestyle has a variety of other tasty treats you can eat.  I'm with too sweet, I love both chocolate and coffee.  I hope you feel better Umpa.  Sending you much love.  :-*

Hi, Umpa! :)

Fortunately, menopause does not last forever.
Once your system settles down, you might be able to have coffee again. ;)
