Ingredients:

I wanted a little extra pick me up this morning so I used coffee as the base for this blend. However, the coffee in this recipe can easily be replaced with black tea or herbal tea; Roibos, Nettle and Peppermint tea being my favourite substitutions.

Organic Coconut Oil and Un-salted Grass Fed Butter are the 2 ingredients that are added to your chosen base, to make the standard Bullet Proof. 

The additional ingredients for the Golden Bullet are - Cinnamon, Agar flakes, Maca powder, Ginger, Vanilla, Turmeric and Black pepper. 

The first thing we do is make the Golden Paste:

Add 40 grams of Turmeric into a saucepan.

Finely chop 5 grams of Ginger. It's much easier to peel your Ginger with a spoon, than it is by using a knife.

Then add the chopped Ginger and 200ml of Water to the saucepan, and, this is the important bit - a generous pinch of Ground Black Pepper. 

The reason we add Black Pepper to the Turmeric is because it enhances the bioavailability of Turmeric. 

Curcumin; the active ingredient of Turmeric, gets metabolised before the human body can properly absorb it. Piperine helps Curcumin become more bioavailable.

After 20 minutes of stirring intermittently on a low to medium heat, the once watery orange mixture turns into a glorious Golden Paste!

Then measure out the rest of the ingredients:

Use a dessert spoon of Coconut Oil, the same amount again of Butter and a tea spoon of Agar Flakes, Cinnamon, Maca and Vanilla powder, for this blend.

Next: brew a fresh coffee:

Once the Black Coffee has brewed, pour it into a blender cup, and top up with 100ml hot water. 

Then add a dessert spoon of Golden Paste:

Followed by the rest of the ingredients:

Then Blend for 30 seconds:

Oil doesn’t mix easily with water, but with the helping hand of a blender, these liquids are forced together.

Resulting in a delicious, frothy latte, brimming with an abundance of health boosting goodness:

Enjoy your Golden Bullet!
