Bulletproof Tea

gerberadaisy · 12-09-2017, 01:08 PM

I'm interested in maybe trying this. I've seen recipes with just butter or ghee, recipes with coconut oil & recipes with MCT oil.

A)Are there any national or east coast brands of butter that you like for this?

B) What is MCT oil & what brands would you recommend if I were to go with that?

C) Anyone just do butter? just do coconut oil? just MCT oil? do all three? Etc.

thanks

You don’t need both MCT and coconut oil. If you already own coconut oil I would try it with that first.

I use coconut oil. A friend of mine uses Kerrygold organic butter - it's an Irish grass-fed butter. Whole Foods and Trader Joe's carry it. The European style butters are all higher fat content than domestic butter.

I know we have Kerry gold here but not sure if we have organic Kerry gold. That is so delicious. I think Land O Lakes or another brand also does a European butter but I'll have to compare prices & ingredients to see if they are compatible.

Coconut is better than MCT. But if you're dairy free and sensitive to coconut, then use MCT.

Kerrygold and New Zealand butter are going to grass fed or primarily grass fed.

If it's labeled European butter it's probably cultured.
