Bulletproof Collagen Hot Chocolate
In the biohacking world, the famous “ Bulletproof Coffee” from Dave Asprey is a supercharged drink to help you start your day burning fat, stay hyper focused with the pleasure of a hot drink that has helped a lot of people being more focused and sharp, reduce brain fog etc, the Bulletproof Coffee stays a staple in the Biohacking world.
I personally follow a lot of Dave Asprey’s recommendations, however I (sadly) dislike coffee. I still really wanted to benefit from a supercharged drink and have tested different versions based on health benefits, price and low effort drink, so I have made my own version: the supercharged hot (or cold) chocolate. This allows me to enjoy a chocolate drink, stay focused with the MCT oil and also reap benefits from other powders I include in that easy-to-make powerful drink.
Also, bear in mind I do my own mixture to supercharge it, but you can just add one of the ingredients listed here, follow what works for you in terms of price, practicality and what works best for your own biology. You can make this drink keto friendly with no sugar added or good quality sweeteners or you can also add some sugar in it.
Ingredients
Tools
MCT Oil
MCT (Medium chain triglyceride) oil is a high value functional food that speeds the metabolism and speeds performance, so that your body and brain runs on ketones.
The Bulletproof brand offers two different versions of MCT oil, the Brain Octane Oil and the MCT Oil. I personally love it because you can also use it anywhere, it has no taste and the packaging is quite functional.
Top features
- No smell so you can use it everywhere (hot chocolate salads, deserts etc)
- High quality coconut oil extraction
- Practical packaging
Price
Around 20€ for the small bottle
Cocoa Powder
Cocoa has multiple benefits, as it is charged with antioxydants and helps with mitochondria biogenesis. It is rich in polyphenols, and improves lipid profile (triglycerides) You can take pretty much any cocoa powder, but make sure it’s without added sugar, this will increase the chance of getting a high quality powder. Cocoa enhances neuron protection and fosters great mood (Who doesn’t love chocolate right!).

InnerFuel Prebiotic
Overview
Everybody knows the importance of probiotics, which are interesting and useful, but prebiotic are even more interesting as they ensure that you develop a healthy microbiome, therefore developing overall immunity. This product allows the healthy bacterias (thanks to larch tree extract) to increase their proliferation. It’s a much better bet to increase prebiotics than probiotics. If you take good bacteria but don’t feed them the proper elements, they will not survive and proliferate in a good way. Whereas, if you consistently feed them the good elements, they will naturally increase their number naturally.
Top features
- Organic fibers from guar and larch tree
- Cuts cravings
- Dissolves easily in fluids
- No taste
- No sugar, keto friendly
- 3 natural fibers of acacia, guar and larch
- Soft on intestines
