Morning Nutrition: Kale Smoothie and Bulletproof Coffee

This morning I had bulletproof coffee and a kale smoothie for breakfast.  I have to say that I feel fantastic from all the energy.


1) Bulletproof Coffee, Run Slinger edition

3 tablespoons ground coffee *
6 teaspoons unsalted grass fed butter **
.5 tablespoons coconut oil (optional)
Note: I prefer to use a French Press for this.  Once you've brewed the coffee combine it with the other ingredients in a blender and blend.  You can preheat both the blender and coffee press containers with boiling water.  Bulletproof Coffee was created by Dave Asprey, Bulletproof Executive.

2) Kale Smoothie
1 cup Kale (no stems)
.5 cup apple juice
1 tablespoon lemon juice
4 ice cubes
1 partial celery stalk
.5 to 1 banana
.5 to 1 tablespoon chia seeds
1 vitamin B6-B-12 supplement


* I use either Tim Hortons Dark Roast or fresh coffee beans from either Broadway Roastery or McQuarrie's Tea & Coffee Merchants in Saskatoon.

** Here in Canada it's tougher than you'd think to get grass fed butter, but although it's not too clearly advertised it does exist.  The trick is to look for the packaging that shows green cows eating grass. Basically the best you're going to get it mostly/partially grass fed butter.
