Bulletproof coffee (Pre workout)
Discussion
Let me preface this by saying on a scale of 0 to Cynical, I'm Foamy the Squirrel (Google it if you missed that), as is the guy I train with (competitive power lifter). Especially when it comes to nicely packaged formulae, etc.
I've always had a shot of black coffee 10 minutes before a workout and it's served me well, but I was convinced today to try one of these instead (coffee, unsalted, grass fed butter and virgin coconut oil.
It worked an absolute treat. I honestly felt great. I know some people are taking it as a meal replacement, etc but I'm just interested in hearing people's experiences with it as part of training rather than for any weight loss reasons.

I start my day with Bullet Proof Coffee, it's served me well for the last 2 years as a preworkout. I've run 6-30 miles with it as my starter intake and had no issues, also did 6-10 mile cardio and 45 min kettlebells with no further need for fuel. It works for me, but may not for others
Sounds interesting,
what's the recipe?
ETA - from what Ive googled its
Coffee (unsure if its filter/espresso/pressed or if it actually matters)
Kerrygold unsalted (2tbs)
Coconut Oil (the recipes seem to have a processed product, id rather just use pure coconut oil)
Blended together

Could I use my cold brew coffee for this? As I understand it one of the benefits of cold brewing is the lower toxicity? Or maybe that's just acidity????
Getting the butter to melt might be an issue. Or is it heated after the brewing process?Basically grind coffee beans until coarsely ground.
Place in a jar with water and leave for 24-48 hours.
Drain the resultant coffee mixture into a bottle and store in the fridge (throw the ground coffee away)
Serve over ice.
It removes the acidity of the coffee and means you can enjoy a cold coffee on a hot day.
cold brew coffee is a concentrate - so you mix with boiling water (if you want it hot) - it works perfect. And I use a cold brew tody so no jam jar faff 
And the coffee this way is great.....taste good and means I have no feeling off needing to eat until after my lunch time gym session - so I then eat between 1pm-8pm only
