Coffee is an essential staple of THE WIFE’s diet, but have you heard of Bulletproof high performance coffee? Bulletproof coffee is used by recording artists before they go on stage and world champion athletes, because it has a massive impact on energy and cognitive function. Cheap coffee full of toxins, stealing your mental edge and actually making you weaker. However, clean coffee is actually healthy and gives you important antioxidants you need.

Lets be honest… THE WIFE™ can’t afford unhealthy coffee for all the energy required for those never-ending wifely duties. In addition to switching to Bulletproof, Founder Dave Asprey, has also created the ultimate recipe to keep THE WIFE™ feeling energised and focussed. Brew it and blend it with grass-fed butter along with coconut oil. Yes, you heard right, butter! Butter has all the benefits of healthy milk fat with none of the damaging denatured casein proteins found in cream. It makes for the creamiest, most satisfying cup of coffee you’ve ever had.

 This “Brain Octane Oil” will boost your morale for 6:00 am alarms clocks, board meetings, school pick ups and demanding children and husbands. Download the recipe card HERE or Click “continue reading” for the Bulletproof Coffee Recipe. -Taryn Cox for THE WIFE™
