Use an Organic, Mycotoxin Free, Shade Grown Coffee
Low-quality conventional coffee is not great. Pesticides and mycotoxin in coffee can be harmful to your health. It is important that you drink high-quality, organic, mycotoxin-free, and shade-grown coffee for optimal benefits and safety.
I personally love and highly recommend Lifeboost Coffee. This coffee is organic, free from GMO, shade-grown, sun-dried, pesticide and chemical-free, full of antioxidants, stomach-friendly, less acidic than most coffee, and fairly traded with a 2-year shelf life. Most importantly, it is absolutely delicious.
Right now, they have a special holiday sale where you can this delicious, low-acid, immune boosting coffee for up to 50% off for a limited time.
Special Notes
The coconut milk is meant to be the creamer, so simply use it as such. If you choose to use the bone broth protein than mix it in after the water and coconut milk are fully mixed.
If the water is scalding, than it will damage the proteins in the bone broth protein. It should be warm enough to drink in a desired way when you mix in the protein powder.
Dr Jockers Comments:
Most coffee lovers could not possibly imagine giving up coffee. Although most natural health programs recommend avoiding coffee it actually contains some great health benefits. Coffee is very rich in chlorogenic acid which helps to stabilize blood sugar levels. Stable blood sugar levels will improve energy and brain function and reduce inflammatory stress.
The “darkness” of the coffee refers to the color of the bean after it has been roasted. The newest research has found that dark roast coffee has more antioxidants than light roast. In this study, it restored blood levels of glutathione and vitamin E more effectively. The dark roast also led to a significant body weight reduction in overweight volunteers.
Coconut milk is loaded with powerful medium-chain triglycerides that have a profound effect on metabolism, the immune system and brain function. You can use either full-fat canned coconut milk or the lighter carton variety. The canned is more concentrated fats that make this coffee a meal replacement that should sustain one for at least 3-4 hours after consuming. The lighter variety may not provide the necessary sustenance for a meal but you could add a tbsp. or two of coconut oil or grass-fed butter to add more healthy fats if you like.
You can use different forms of liquid stevia for flavoring. At a health food store or whole foods you can get chocolate flavored, cinnamon flavored, vanilla flavored and grape flavored. A slight pinch of pink salt provides key minerals and electrolytes and helps knock out the bitter stevia aftertaste that some do not like.
Add in the Multi-Collagen Peptides for 9 grams of collagen rich protein that helps improve your joints, skin, hair, nails, gut and immune system.
I would like to know, what is the best bone broth to consume for maximum benefits to body, or are they all the same, just different combinations/flavors
Hey Marilyn,
They are all the same type of protein, but have unique differences in flavor and herbal extracts. The turmeric and greens are the most health beneficial…but don’t taste as well. People LOVE the flavor of the coffee, vanilla, chocolate and banana. Banana is my personal favorite for flavor!
Hello Dr
is it safe to take bone broth in pregnant women?
Absolutely Pilar!
Which bone broth protein would you recommend nowadays in the market? There are tons but not sure which one is the most natural. They all come with the different type of “guns” within the other ingredients section and some additives here and there.
This is the one I use Christian: https://store.drjockers.com/products/bone-broth-protein-pure
Ooops “gums” I meant -lol-
I add about a tablespoon of coconut oil to this recipe and blend with an immesion blender (coffee, coconut milk, coconut oil, liquid stevia, dash or two of vanilla, dash of pink salt, blend with immersion blender because of the oil) it is so creamy and delicious!
Shoot, I forgot I also add the bone broth protein collagen.
That sounds awesome Rachael!
If I add collagen powder to my bullet proof coffee right away and the coffee is hot, will it destroy the benefit of the collagen?
It shouldn’t Dorothy!
Chanced upon your website’s recommendation on bone broth. In traditional Chinese medicine, the common bone broth are derived from a recipe tortoise breast plate gelatin, pig skin gelatin and lotus root. I thought that this info may be useful for you.
I would love to add the natural coconut milk to my coffee. How do I make the coffee and adding the natural coconut milk that I blend up
Hi Sylvia, I would add the coffee, stevia and salt to your fresh coconut milk and then blend again.
Dear Dr Jockers, I love your posts so this is just constructive criticism. The word “scolding” should be “scalding,” I presume :-). And check out the proper use of “than” and “then” in your posts.

Hey Marcy, Thank you for sharing! I have updated the recipe appropriately and I always invite your constructive criticisms! Blessings!
I am trying to understand this recipe. How much hot brewed coffee do you add to the half cup of hot water and half cup of coconut milk? I read it a number of times and am still confused. What is the point of the hot water?
Thanks for any clarification you can supply
