1st – Get Dave Asprey on your show – you’ll like him and so will your listeners. Horizon expansion.

2nd – Nit Pick – Bulletproof Coffee is the recipe – UpGraded Coffee is the brand.

3rd – You need to use the MCT oil Dave sells on his site. Good stuff – completely flavorless for those who don’t like the flavor of coconut oil in their coffee. Really makes good foam. I tried NOW foods brand – had to through it out – tasted rancid. I also use it, along with olive oil, to make salad dressing. It also makes good mayo.

4th – Get a Chemex drip coffee maker – makes the best coffee I’ve ever had, regardless of the coffee used, and I’ve used every type of coffee maker you can think of. I know it sounds crazy – but, it’s not. Really.

5th – Eating something with your Bulletproof coffee – I have stayed away from so called paleo baked goods do to my aversion of pre-cracked nuts; i.e. almond flour (they start to spoil and go moldy as soon as they are cracked open), but I saw this recipe for a coconut flour bagel on the Wheat Belly blog – http://www.wheatbellyblog.com/2012/07/maria-emmerich-and-the-art-of-eating-healthy/ – and gave it a try. Not bad – not a bagel by any means – but ok. More the texture of corn bread. It was the first “bread like” item I’be eaten in five years, so it was kinda nice. I make a cinnamon version and put mascarpone on it.

I also found a recipe for coconut bars – http://www.thepaleomom.com/2012/02/recipe-simple-chocolate-coconut-squares.html – on The Paleo Mom blog. I use very dark chocolate – two squares of Lindt’s 90% chopped up – and add two tablespoons of organic raw unprocessed coconut palm sugar – three grams of sugar per teaspoon, one less than table sugar and not as sweet. Coconut and 90% chocolate can be a little bitter, so the sugar takes the edge off. Of course if you use regular chocolate chips, you’ll get a lot more sweetness – too much for me. I cut it into nine squares and figure there’s less than four grams of sugar per square. What I like about it is you have to chew – and I do mean chew – a lot in order to get it into a consistency you can swallow, and that really works the salivary glands and promotes good digestion – especially for the typical fast eater. They really go well with the high fat Bulletproof coffee – even though the coconut is also pretty high fat – they help with the queasiness that can come from too much fat at one time. They have become a staple in my diet – two a day – and my tummy has never felt better.

Really enjoy your show – Cheers
