As you all know, I started with my diet during January 2017. After I started my diet, I became so involved in it and I was scared of giving Sruti any dish that was not healthy. So I started using cane sugar for her instead of refined sugar. But then I read in the group that for kids diet should be started at the age of 18. Until then it is better to feed them good food and avoid junk. But I also learnt that they can follow partial paleo by reducing carbs on one or two meals while having a normal carb filled food for one meal. So the first change I made in Sruti’s diet is breakfast. We started with butter coffee. Both hubby and myself take butter coffee for our breakfast and so I made it for Sruti one day, but with necessary changes so that she would love it. I was really happy that she liked it so much that she didn’t even complain.
This version of butter coffee is simpler than the one we drink. And I also add sugar to it as I really didn’t want her to drink it with out sugar at this age. Slowly she learnt to make butter coffee herself and nowadays, it is her duty to make it for herself. And sometimes when I am tired or engrossed in some other work she also makes it for me too. It is such an easy recipe. Only thing you need is a hand blender, which will be very easy for kids to handle. This is such a filling drink, and they can manage three hours without asking anything to eat. The butter takes care of satiety. This was the new dabara I bought last week. It was meant to take only food photos for the blog, but Sruti wanted it for herself. So we are sharing it now! And the step wise photos were taken by Sruti herself. I guess she would make an amazing assistant for me in the future. She even plans to start her own food blog sometime.

hi gayatri……..this is a very new recipe to me! just curious…………butter is fattening right? so how is butter coffee a diet food?? just wondering….hope u dont mind me asking!
No issues Farah. Butter is one of the good fat to have. And increasing fat doesn’t actually increase weight. In paleo, reducing the carbs and increasing fat intake reduces weight because we get energy from the fat we consume.
Ahhhhh!!!! Thanks for explaining Gayathri!! Good to know. Thanks
Sounds interesting !..I remember my mil adding butter to milk , but coffee ..well it is new to me .
I don’t drink coffee but addition of butter of interesting . I am sure it tastes great.
Butter in coffee I can’t imagine….never heard of it….coffee looks awesome… good that children can do small chores…teaches them independence as well as gives them confidence…
Butter in coffee is totally new to me. Nice to know Shruti likes it and is able to prepare it on her own. Very interesting that she wants to start her own blog. All the best to her!
No wonder for me if shruthi starts her own blog, that definitely its in her blood. Butter coffee looks fabulous and kudos to shruthi for making her own butter coffee without your help. Great share Gayathri.
I tried butter coffee for the diet I had begun a few weeks ago. It does taste awesome. It is a tummy filler. However I’ve had to stop the diet as it was resulting in gall bladder pains.
This is something I have in the morning… when I was on keto, I used to make it with cream and butter, but now back to low carb, I make it just plain butter, sometimes I do add stevia but the butter gives a slight tinge of sweetness that it doesn’t need the stevia. I must try this with milk, since I do have some now… 🙂 I agree to you on the dieting part for kids. HD gets worried of how plump my elder one is getting, but somehow I feel she’s trimming down as she is growing up. I am making sure that they have more home food and not from out, I guess once they hit their adult age, they will anyway take care of themselves… The davara looks cute…
That’s a wonderful drink for dieting. So glad to know Sruti is all grooming to become the next best blogger taking after her mom…the clicks are so lovely!
This is indeed interesting recipe for coffee. Heard about this butter coffee from few friends who follow paleo diet. Now knew how it’s made. Shruti had done a wonderful job in taking the pics. Kudos to her !!!.
Very interesting. I am just thinking aloud if coffee is good for kids. Its been ages since I heard the word ‘dabara’ 🙂
My husband who is a coffee lover is intrigued by the concept of butter coffee 🙂
the Coffee looks fabulous Gayathri and so does the dabara…and it’s nice of Sruti to share it with you. My daughter always has eyes on my blog props…have a hard time safekeeping. Good luck to Sruti for her blog
Wow, you have a budding blogger at home Gayathri. She did an excellent job with the clicks. Butter coffee sounds interesting.
Shruti has done an amazing job! The pics are beautiful will try the coffee Gayatri it is new to me
I tried butter tea at a Tibetan restaurant and couldnt tolerate it – I am not sure I would like the coffee either but one of my friends who had been to Tibet loved it so I suppose it is an acquired taste
I have never added butter to the coffee but it sounds very interesting.
