Stoned Citizens who swear by the ketogenic diet will be all too familiar with a cup of coffee served with a spoon of butter on the inside. Known as a bulletproof coffee, the drink is wildly popular in the low-carb, high-fat diet community, all thanks to its greasy content.
While some believe bulletproof coffee is a modern concoction, the high-calorie beverage has been consumed throughout history. The Sherpas of the Himalayas and the Gurage of Ethiopia have been drinking rich and creamy butter coffee and butter tea for hundreds of years.
Humans living in high altitude regions have been adding butter to their cup of Joe for an energy boost, as living and working in these areas increase calorie needs. Additionally, many Chinese citizens commonly drink tea made with yak butter. In Tibet, butter tea, or po cha, is a traditional beverage consumed on a daily basis by the Tibetan people.
Many health food personalities and celebrities swear by bulletproof coffee as a morning boost, without any afternoon crash because of the way the fat allows the body to process the caffeine. But what happens when you add cannabutter to your favourite liquid refreshment?
Cannabis isn’t a novel addition to coffee, tea or butter. From coffee pods that gets you stoned to cannabis-infused teas to the everyday stoner staple, the offerings in the cannasphere are endless.
By including cannabutter to your morning cup of tea or coffee, helps the human body to process cannabinoids better due to the presence of healthy fats from both the herby butter and coconut oil.
Looking for a good reason and a dash of motivation to drag your stoner ass out of bed? Treat your body and mind to the energy boost it deserves with this simple cannabis-infused bulletproof coffee recipe.
