Mornings used to drag for me—brain fog, energy crashes by 10 AM, even after "healthy" coffee with skim milk and artificial sweeteners. Then I discovered blending traditional fats into my brew, inspired by the MAHA movement's focus on ditching inflammatory seed oils.
This Creamy Ghee Bulletproof Coffee changed everything. It's frothy, satisfying, and gives steady energy without the jitters. Grass-fed ghee provides butyrate for gut health and quick fuel, while a touch of coconut oil adds MCTs for mental clarity. No crashes, just pure focus—all in under 5 minutes.
Perfect for busy families embracing clean eating. It's my go-to before writing recipes or tackling the day.

Ingredients (Serves 1 | Prep Time: 2 minutes | Total Time: 5 minutes)
8–12 oz hot brewed coffee (strong organic beans or your favorite)
1–2 tbsp grass-fed ghee (start with 1 if new to this)
1 tsp–1 tbsp virgin coconut oil (for extra creaminess)
Optional: Pinch of Ceylon cinnamon or sea salt for flavor
Optional sweetener: 1 tsp raw honey or maple syrup (keep it minimal for MAHA benefits)
(Pro tip: Use high-quality fats—check my recommendations in the Complete MAHA Kitchen Guide.)
Instructions
Brew your coffee fresh (French press or drip works best for flavor).
Add hot coffee, ghee, coconut oil, and any optional items to a blender.
Blend on high for 20–30 seconds until frothy and emulsified (like a latte!).
Pour into your favorite mug and enjoy immediately.
No blender? Use a milk froth or shake vigorously in a mason jar (just be careful with hot liquid).

Pro Tips & Variations
Make it iced: Blend with ice cubes for a summer version.
Boost protein: Add 1 scoop collagen powder (unflavored).
Spiced twist: Add cardamom or nutmeg for a chai-like vibe—pairs great with my Indian recipes.
Vegan option: Swap ghee for more coconut oil.
Kid-friendly: Half the fats and add a splash of full-fat coconut milk for creaminess.
Why This Fits MAHA Perfectly
Traditional fats like ghee and coconut oil are stable, anti-inflammatory, and ancestral—exactly what the MAHA philosophy promotes. Unlike seed oil-laden creamers, these nourish your cells, support hormone balance, and curb cravings. Research from sources like the Weston A. Price Foundation shows healthy saturated fats improve satiety and brain function. This coffee keeps you full until lunch!
