Coffee with coconut oil and grass-fed butter

The hot new trend in food for 2017 is coffee with coconut oil and grass-fed butter!

Now, when I first heard this is admit it sounded disgusting.

But, I cut out coffee a long time ago because every expert seems to agree that dairy has to go.

I just can't drink coffee black. It just isn't satisfying. I don't need sugar. But, a little cream makes the flavor of coffee pop in my mouth!

So, I read the post on here about dairy. It makes the point that dairy just isn't good for us.

Then, one of my favorite former students wrote to me and urged me to try coffee with coconut oil and grass-fed butter.

I read the following somewhere online:

"Just to be safe, I restrict myself to reduced-protein dairy products — heavy cream has about half the protein of whole milk, butter about half the protein of heavy cream — and fermented dairy products like whole milk yogurt and cheeses. I think this is a good compromise for people with reasonably good bowel health."

I was watching 1776 with my son and I thought about how much I wanted a coffee.

I stopped the movie and made two shots of dark coffee. My daughter loves coconut oil for her hair and her coffee in the morning. I put a short tablespoon of the oil in the coffee and a know of grass-fed butter. I put the whole mixture into the Nutribullet and whipped it.

BAM!!!!!!!

It's stunningly delicious!

It's not the cure for colitis. But, it isn't cream or milk.

The Weston A. Price Foundation would approve.

I've got my coffee back!

And, I get to be trendy, too!

I use coconut milk, which has some oil in it, for my morning coffee. It was a happy day when my gut finally allowed me to have caffeinated coffee without punishing me the rest of the day. But only one coffee and no other caffeine rest of the day.

Also after gut healing it does not hate all dairy as much as before. Took a while but some dairy in small amounts is fine. I am not lactose intolerant (per tests) but a flaring gut could not handle it. Now I can eat butter, hard cheese, some carageenan-free ice cream and cream. YMMV.

Oh yeah climbsnowgirl, I added collagen a few months ago and took it every day for 6 weeks (gut healing protocol recommended it) and it has now been 6 weeks without it and my skin is STILL like a babies butt. that stuff was amazing for me. Helped with joint pain, too.

I'll have to look for the coconut milk you guys refer to. I just looked at my SILK brand and it has many ingredients and some sound sketchy. I have completely cut milk and use that now, too. I never really liked cow milk anyway.

Flowersgal, I just discovered that brand---I was astonished at how delicious the coconut yogurt was! I need to look to make sure this is OK with my new IBD-AID diet, but they approve regular yogurt, so I imagine it's OK.

I got some chicken feet, duck feet and a cow foot from the Asian grocery.

I am such a cheater I have just purchased pre-made collagen in a jar. But, being that I am on a Whole Foods kick and getting rid of every scrap of "processed crap" I suppose I should be adding 'feet' to my grocery list now, too? oh boy.......

Thanks, that's good to know. I do tolerate cheese well and had counted anything like this out !
