Bulletproof Coffee

By Niall Roeder…

There’s no denying it, we are a nation of coffee lovers. We’ve well and truly incorporated a daily grind into our daily grind. Cappuccinos, lattes, short blacks, flat whites, orange-mocha-frappuccinos, we love it all. It’s the everyday, beneficial drug of choice for a big majority of people over 20 years old. We can thank the migrant families that journeyed from Italy, Greece, France, Turkey, Austria and Hungary in the ‘50s, who didn’t introduce the black bean, but did introduce Australia to a proper espresso.

However, you may have heard, there’s a new, weird kid in town called Bulletproof Coffee. A blend of coffee, grass-fed unsalted butter and coconut oil… Told you it was weird. It’s the brainchild of technology entrepreneur, health nut and body optimisation guru, Dave Asprey. Asprey discovered the benefit healthy fats can have on the body and mind and decided coffee was the best way to get these in.

The coffee concoction is thought to offer a range of benefits such as calming cravings, boosting cognitive function and triggering weight loss. While we can’t speak for the health benefits, we can assure you that it’s delicious and one very smooth drop. Imagine Barry White’s sexy, velvety voice in liquid form. Mmm can’t get enough of your love, babe.

There aren’t many places that are serving up this smooth blend, but it is available at FIXX Café at QT Gold Coast. Go in and try it for yourself, but be warned, you might get lost to the dark side.
