Mint Mojito Iced Bulletproof Coffee

Herbalists have used peppermint for hundreds of years knowing it instantly soothes an upset stomach and takes the edge off of a headache. 

Now we have the science to prove it. The minty aroma comes from 1,8 cineole, a well-researched compound found in menthol-containing plants like mint and eucalyptus. Studies show peppermint relieves tension headache^[1], treats IBS^[2], decreases feelings of sleepiness during the day^[3], improves attention, increases alertness^[4], and reduces anxiety^[5].

For a morning boost of alertness and energy, add a little mint to your Bulletproof Coffee and see if you feel the difference. Better yet, make yourself a refreshing Mint Mojito Iced Bulletproof Coffee for a cool mid-morning sweet treat with the added benefits of collagen.

• 10-15 fresh mint leaves
