Bulletproof turmeric latte is a low carb, nutritious drink that helps you start your day right. It is loaded with fats and antioxidants that boost the immune system and is nutritious enough to drink as a meal replacement!
You might have heard of bulletproof keto drinks, more commonly bulletproof coffee, which is basically a nutritious coffee drink loaded with healthy fats that you drink instead of eating breakfast.
During intermittent fasting, some may choose to drink bulletproof coffee or tea for breakfast as part of their fast. The goal is to keep your body longer in ketosis by preventing insulin spikes when carb-laden foods are ingested.
Why You’ll Love It
I particularly like this drink because I can drink it hot or cold without sacrificing on taste. It makes a great bedtime drink as well due to the relaxing qualities of turmeric.
I drink it quite often in the evening and one bonus benefit I have noticed is that it quenches any desire for nighttime snacking!

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, you can. I like to make it and leave it in my blender cup in the fridge. The next day, I just blend and pour in my mug and I’m out.
To prep more than one day’s serving at a time, you can measure out the dry ingredients together in a small bag and make multiple servings. When you’re ready to make it, just add the milk, heavy cream, vanilla extract, and coconut oil, and blend together.
