Actually spectrum, and many other companies make refined and unrefined products to market the uses of both. In choosing coco oil it usually comes down to variation rather than brand because of this. Although some companies only do the “poor quality” version.

For anyone in the UK, I've found this coconut oil to be the best and most cost-effective (even from the likes of MyProtein, you're looking at close to £10 for 460g): http://enaissance.co.uk/acatalog/Coconut-Virgin-Food-Oil–solid–2584.htmlIf you're a bit more of a cheapskate, then this one is probably OK too http://enaissance.co.uk/acatalog/Coconut-Roasted-Food-Oil--solid--3480.html but (having tried it when they sent me the wrong one once), it's an acquired taste and I don't much like it.

Alright, I've got a question for you peeps!As you well know, I'm not a coffee lover. I've found the best way for me to drink bullet proof coffee by making sure I grind the beans fresh myself, and then cold brew it for the next morning. Tastes "ok" but I'm still not the biggest fan.I ran across some vegetable bullion in my cabinet that I never threw out because "Oh I'll use it for something!" Well, I broke it up in some hot water this morning, added my butter and MCT oil, shook it up, and oh my goodness. Tastes like a creamy chicken soup! I love it. I am aware it may break the fast, and its definitely not coffee, but it really hits the spot. Some have carbs, but the bullion I have lists 0 carbs per cube. Very simple ingredient list:Sea salt, organic expeller-pressed palm oil (MCTs?), yeast extract, onion, organic carrot, lovage, tumeric, organic celery, maltodextrin (hmm.....), parsley, organic mace spice.2grams fat, 0 carbs, and <1g protein. Would this break the fast? I'm, of course, leaning towards "Well duh, it does." but its so little of everything, wouldn't it more fall under the category of spices? Curious on what your thoughts were on using this instead of coffee since it tastes so darn good! I'm asking about it all, so don't hold back on any little thing you want to comment on, all thoughts are wanted and appreciated.

while it may be minute it has carbs if these are in it. That being said most coffee has a minute amount of protein&carbs as well. I think the point of the coffee is a thermogenic/metabolic boost it gives, in addition to hunger suppressing, so your sort of missing out on all that, you may as well just eat the CO and Butter, thats what id be doing if I didn't love my morning cup(s) of joe hah.

BP coffee is a metabolic powerhouse because of the fats, and to my knowledge it takes roughly 5g of carbs to cause the first noticeable change in insulin, so the boullion probably won't make an enormous difference in the metabolic effect.However, I wouldn't continue to call it a BP coffee per se, because the beauty of the recipe is its purity; pure fats that promote both lipid oxidation AND empowered brain function.  Adding anything with extra ingredients into the mix introduces an extra variable to deal with if your fat loss stalls.

I think Bulletproof chicken has a nice ring! LOL.Maybe you should wash down a caffeine pill with your BP chicken and call it good?

Asprey argues that it's not:http://www.bulletproofexec.com/bulletproof-coffee-recipe/

Personally I prefer coconut milk anyway 🙂
