How To Biohack Your Coffee

If there was one silver lining to staying at home for the past year, it’s that everyone got VERY creative with their morning beverages. We at 4th & Heart couldn’t be happier about this – adding ghee to your morning beverage of choice is an incredible way to “biohack” your morning brew and make it work FOR you. 

But wait – what even is biohacking? 

When you “biohack” a beverage or meal, you’re making small, incremental changes to what you put into your body in order to make improvements in your health and well-being. The best biohacking results come from being well-informed and understanding the benefits certain foods can bring into your diet and lifestyle. This can be anything as small as adding turmeric (and black pepper to aid in absorption) to a sheet pan of roasted veggies for added anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, or by adding a tablespoon of ghee (and MCT Oil if you’re feeling fancy) to your morning cup of coffee. 

So, drinking a Ghee Coffee is biohacking?!

Yes! Because ghee contains many naturally occurring bioenhancers (such as butyric acid and Vitamins A, D, E, and K), a simple dollop in your cup of joe in lieu of your traditional coffee creamer is an instant way to inject your coffee with healthy fats and vitamins. If you’re always on the go, this is a fantastic, portable way to get all of the benefits of eating a healthy breakfast, without the time and energy needed to prepare one! 

According to our friends over at Vital Proteins, “biohacking boils down to maximizing your daily health efforts” by improving the efficiency of your body’s processes to metabolize foods or extract certain vitamins + nutrients from what you consume. For example, biohacking your coffee by adding ghee allows you to curb hunger pangs while providing your body with a naturally occurring energy boost to kick start your day. The healthy fats in our ghee help your body process the caffeine so you feel alert and energized without feeling jittery. Ghee Coffee is also a great pre-workout drink that won’t bog you down like a heavy meal, but will deliver the energy and nutrients that your body craves before you exercise. 

Any way you slice it, biohacking your coffee is fast, easy, and the payoff is unmatched. 

Don’t believe us? Try it yourself! Simply brew yourself your typical morning coffee or other beverage, add it to a blender with a dollop of any 4th & Heart Ghee flavor or Chocti and blend! Within seconds, you’ll have a frothy, creamy, and most importantly DELICIOUS beverage to kick start your morning so you can take the day by storm. We hope you love it as much as we do!
