I have drank bpc since starting keto. I typically use it as a pre-workout and breakfast in one. I usually add mct oil, coconut milk or heavy cream, zero carb protein powder, fiber supplement, creatine, and glutamine. I sometimes add a raw egg. I workout at 430am so this is perfect for me and most days I don’t have my first meal till noon.

I used to be a drink my coffee “the way it was born please, black - thank you” until I made my first BPC. it’s become my morning ritual to start the coffee maker and drop the butter, coconut oil, HWC, and a small splash of SF Torani coffee flavoring into a mixing container. (Favorite so far is vanilla or hazelnut) I’ve started experimenting with the ingredients just a bit, substituting with small amounts of coconut manna, or cocoa butter and I Love LOVE my cuisinart immersion blender for this! Best part is, I’m good until after noon or so, with zero hunger pains. Bonus: the coconut oil is great for my lips while I’m enjoying it!

I don’t have the Ninja cup blender, just the regular pitcher type. The first time I used mine for BPC it melted the gasket in the lid! Now I use my immersion blender.

I look pictures of my BPC process this morning. (Home for a snow day!)
Ingredients: 2 K-cups, Kerrygold unsalted, coconut oil, cinnamon, egg, optional sugar free flavoring if I’m in the mood.
Dump everything but the egg in a large mason jar:
Brew 2 cups of coffee:
Add the egg and blend with immersion blender. I wait to add the egg so that it does not cook when the hot coffee is brewed over it.
When I open a new block of kerrygold, I slice it into eighths so that I don’t have to guess each day.

I put half a teaspoon of Stevia - Erythritol sweetener, 1 teaspoon of instant coffee or 1 shot, 1/4 cup thickened cream and 1 tablespoon of coconut oil and blend then pour into large cup and it is like a latte with a creamy after taste. I usually have a cup afer returning from the gym after work as I get home in the morning as I do night shift. As far as nutrients it is just a good way to add fat to your day if you have not got enough in for the day or just a hunger stopper. My family can see me losing weight but they think I am stupid and will cause me to have a heart attack but I am healthier than they are so I will Keto on.

Whaaaaaaat??? WoW I’ve not had any problem at all. Did you contact them
for a replacement?? They will certainly help you with that. BUT, how in the
world did that happen??? I mean if you were using the locking lid pitcher
blender for a bpc surely it couldn’t reach up that high with that much
heat??? Holy cow! Sorry to hear it!

@mwall, no I didn’t contact them, I’ve had this for a few years so I’m sure it’s out of warranty. It still functions fine, just all bubbled up. Love using my stick blender, much easier to clean!!

Very similar for me, I started Keto just before thanksgiving and was loving how I felt and the results I’ve been having. When I went home over the holidays, hanging out with buddies and carelessly eating made me gain some weight back and generally brought back some of those carb addiction symptoms. Since being back now and getting myself back on track, I’ve started feeling better again and losing weight daily.
On the subject of BPC, for me I can have it as my morning meal and not be hungry at all for the rest of the day, but sometimes i’m in the mood for actual food(Bacon…). The way I make it is, 1 Tbsp Kerrygold Butter, 1 Tbsp coconut oil, 1 Tbsp heavy cream, and if i’m in the mood to make it a little sweeter, i’ll add a very small amount of vanilla extract. Once I tossed a scoop of peanut butter in the blender with it, gave it an interesting nutty flavor. Although it really is different for everyone, my older brother who also is on keto doesn’t drink much BPC just because he really likes breakfast foods.

+1 I use my personal blender as well, and use the cups for drinking, have 2/3 so that it lasts without cleaning until next dishwasher run Just rinse the blades straight after use in hot water seems to do the job for me.

So - I have been working on this the past few days. Here is what I have come up with.
First - I picked up a Nutri Ninja = awesome but loud especially in the a.m. It works well can cleans easily with minimum fuss. I find it less wieldy and easier to clean than an immersion wand blender.
Next I use my OXO coffee maker and brew 4 cups water line which makes 2 x 12 oz tall coffees. I also grind by own beans with a Hario Skerton ceramic burr grinder. These are simple machines the yield a great result. No doubt, it is a PITA, but I faithfully toil every morning in anticipation of great coffee. I also cannot justify the cost of an electric model.
My version of BPC at the moment is a spin off of Unicorn Fuel…
- 1 Tbs MCT oil (thinking about trying Brain Octane next)
- 1 Tbs HWC
- 1/2 tsp maca powder
- shakes cinnamon
- shake of turmeric
Note: I have not tried butter. I have a mental block about the taste. Maybe tomorrow I will give it a try. I also do not add any sweeteners but wonder how cacao powder would add to the flavor.
I add the ingredients to the 24 oz Ninja container and have it ready for when the coffee is done brewing.
I then add in hot coffee and blend away - varying pulsing and constant blending for about a min. Again - it is loud in the a.m. and I worry it will wake my kids!
I pour my first 12 oz cup and put he lid on back on. When ready for my second cup, I’ll hit it again in the blender and warm it up in the microwave to get it hot. (tepid coffee makes me cranky)
This seems work work pretty good for me, as I have gotten into a rhythm over the past few days. I do not feel hungry for a few hours after. I am anxious to see how this time changes as I stay in keto.
Cheers!

I’ve tried the brain octane and noticed no difference in my mood, cognition, hunger, or weight loss versus regular mct oil so i would suggest saving your cash. it seems that many in the forum question the benefit of mct oil so those posts/topics might be of use. Honestly the only reason i continue to use mct oil is because it keeps me regular…lol.

That would be a very good reason for me to start using it. I have some in the cupboard somewhere but I’ve just been using coconut oil cause I like the taste.
