I whipped up this frothy, mildly sweet, bulletproof style, dare I say, superfood coffee. It will definitely get you going in the morning with the energizing peppermint kick, caffeine and healthy fats.
A Healthy Winter Beverage
I love seasonal foods and drinks.
There is just something comforting about preparing foods that represent something significant about each month of the year.
Winter, of course, is the time for peppermint!
Hershey’s rolls out their peppermint kisses, the Salvation Army bell ringers hand out candy canes and the pine cones at the craft stores are infused with cinnamon, pine and peppermint.
Peppermint is truly the flavor for the Christmas season!
So, as much as I love seasonal treats and specialty coffee shop lattes, I can’t see spending the money on their artificial and chemical laden brews.
Instead, I whipped up this frothy, mildly sweet, bulletproof style, dare I say, superfood coffee. It will definitely get you going in the morning with the energizing peppermint kick, caffeine and healthy fats.

Bulletproof Peppermint Mocha Ingredients
1 cup extra strong brewed coffee
1 tablespoon maple syrup
2 tablespoons salted grass fed butter (I use Kerrygold)
1/2 cup heavy cream (Mine was skimmed right off the top of the jar from our local dairy)
1 tablespoon cocoa
1 drop therapeutic grade peppermint essential oil (I use doTERRA)
Bulletproof Peppermint Mocha Instructions
Place all ingredients into your blender and blend until good and frothy. (about 30 seconds)
Pour into mug, garnish with one of your kids’ candy canes, and enjoy!
But, wait! You can also get extra fancy and throw some more of that cream into your blender and make some fresh whipped cream to put on top. Just make sure to not walk away and do other things while it is going, or you might end up with some butter. Ask me how I know.
So, ahem, place cream into blender again and, voila, whipped cream! If your drink is piping hot it will just sink right down into the mug, but it is still oh so delicious.
Enjoy!

Lisa this sounds perfect!!! I’ve seen so many recipes that say “a splash of cream” and I just laugh! lol. 1/2 cup sounds more appropriate 🙂
Have a wonderful Christmas!

Hi Lisa, love your slip cover Video and bleaching your dropcloth. I have a wing back chair I’d like to try this on, I’m just concerned that once I get it bleached do u think the pattern on my chair might show. It has a dark greens and reds? I would love to know what u think?
Thank you, Sheila B.
Lisa says
The fabric is still pretty heavy weight, so it should be fine. Maybe try bleaching a swatch and laying it over your chair to see for sure, before committing to making the whole thing.

It’s so sad when people are scared of healthy fats. The raw cream from your cow is perfect for health as our ancestors did! I’m currently drinking this creamy, delicious coffee and eating one of your sourdough bagels. Both are fabulous! Thank you!
