butter in my coffee + get your KALE YEAH tee
Hi! How’s the morning going? Hope you’re having a great one so far. After BODYPUMP and spin yesterday, my legs have that achy and sore feeling. I think a little yoga is on the agenda today to stretch everything out.
The other night was a bit of the rough one- we were up quite a few times- so the morning called for coffee.
We were out of almond milk, so I decided to give the “butter in the coffee” thing a whirl. It’s always freaked me out, but the friends that love it swear that you never want to drink coffee the same way again.
Just in case it was gross, I didn’t want to put too much in there -I used about a tablespoon, which was plenty- and the verdict?
It was pretty good! It gave it a smooth… uhh, buttery… texture and rich flavor. While it was pretty good, I have to say that my favorite unique coffee add-in is definitely maple syrup! SO SO good in coffee.
So today, I’m excited to finally share the news about the shirt project I’ve been thinking about for years. Literally years! Since the early blog days, many reader friends have asked me to create a shirt. I always thought it would be fun to make a Fitnessista shirt, but wanted to wait until the timing was right and I could find a truly awesome supplier. There are quite a few low cost suppliers overseas, but I wanted a shirt made here in the US using organic materials and sustainable practices.
I finally found the perfect spot: Fed by Threads.
I’ve been a fan of theirs for a long time, as they’re based in Tucson (my hometown!) and the owners, Jade and Alok, are beyond amazing. Jade’s Beautiful Body Project (<– features nude photos, just a heads up) has taken the world by storm and they also own the Movement Shala, where we filmed Soli Beat
.
All of their clothes are made in the US from upcycled, organic and sustainable materials. Even better: they have an beautiful cause associated with their apparel. For every item sold, 12 emergency meals are provided to families on a local and national level. You can read more about their mission here.
I designed this fun KALE YEAH tee:
Some details about the shirt:
Made In America
50% Organic Cotton / 50% RPET (<– recycled plastic bottles)
12 meals fed per T sold
Vegan Materials
Sweatshop-Free
Non-Heavy Metal Dyes
Non-BPA or PVC Inks
They are preshrunk, but run small. Order one size up!
If you’d like to get one, I’m only taking preorders, which will close next Monday. I’ll place the order on Tuesday and the KALE YEAH team will have comfy shirts to relax in this holiday season. We’re only doing one run of this fun design, so order yours ASAP! After ordering, you’ll receive a confirmation email. Respond to the confirmation email with your size and shipping info. I’ll be packing and shipping all of the orders with love 🙂
Thank you for helping me support Fed by Threads this holiday season!
xoxo
Gina

Hi GIna! I am probably totally missing it, but what is the price of the t-shirts? I think they are very cute. Yay for butter coffee! I really enjoy it.
they are 29.99 + 5 shipping 🙂
How do you order it? I don’t see a link to order it. Am I missing something?
no, sorry about that! the cart button wasn’t working so i added it again 🙂
I would like one!
just added the link! 🙂
Me too! Love the shirt but want to know the price and link to order.
just added the link! xoxo
I’ve tried bullet proof coffee (with coconut oil, butter and then make it frothy in my mini-blender), and while the first few sips were good, I couldn’t finish it.
am I missing the linkie? I LoveLove the T!
i just added the cart button! for some reason it wasn’t working 🙂 xo
ordered! <3
wahoo!! :)!
I must be living under a rock, lol, because I’ve never heard of putting butter in coffee. But, I guess there’s always something new, right?
Not sure how I feel about it. I love butter but it just seems weird in coffee. Don’t know if I could give that a try. I’m not very adventurous. 🙂
Butter in coffee definitely sounds interesting!!! I actually am trying out the Califia Farms almond milk iced coffee this morning that I discovered on your blog and since I’m away in Las Vegas right now, I actually found it (they definitely don’t have it up in Canada haha). I LOVE your new tee and was super excited when I saw it in the newsletter a few days ago!! I want all the kale shirts out there haha!!
The shirt is so cute and wow butter! creative! I can imagine that tasting really good!
I’ve been too afraid to try the butter, but I definitely LOVE the maple syrup idea! I’ve always been a sweeter coffee kind of girl, but despise the fake sweet that comes with adding cane sugar. I can’t wait!
I put coconut oil in my coffee-add a spoonful and the coffee to the vitamix and blend it up. So so good!! I’ll have to try the maple syrup-I would have never thought of that!
Shirts are so cute, and what a great idea!
Love this idea but mostly I just love that they’re from Tucson!
I haven’t tried the butter in my coffee thing but I really don’t think I’d like it. Despite being lactose intolerant, I’ve never liked the TASTE of butter so I don’t think I’d like it in my coffee…blech!
I’ve tried ghee and coconut oil and liked it, but it just seemed like one too many steps to get me out the door in the morning. Now I just do a spoonful of coconut oil and blend quick with an immersion blender.
I ordered mine! Sweet!
Would coconut oil work in coffee? That’s what I keep at work, but whenever I haven’t had milk around I just drink it black. Hmmmm
:)! yay, thank you!
i think it would. i’ve heard of people adding coconut oil and or butter. i like coffee black, too, but sometimes it’s fun to add a little something 🙂
Do you have a pic of yourself wearing the tee by any chance Gina? Or could you tell me what size you are? Just looking for a frame of reference so I make sure to order the right size:)
i just have a plain tee, but not the printed one yet. i usually wear a small in other shirts, but would wear a medium in this one
Could you maybe post a pic of the plain tee anyway? is the shape of it just like a normal cotton t-shirt? no ‘feminine’ shape to it?
but they’re sooo cute 🙂
it’s slightly fitted like a feminine t-shirt. here’s a pic of jade wearing them so you can see how they fit: http://fedbythreads.com/collections/women-s-printed-t-s/products/organic-locally-grown-womens-t
when i track down mine, i will post a pic, too!! 🙂
Maple syrup I coffee is my fave too! So good!
i started putting organic grassfed butter in my coffee a few weeks ago and I love it.
A cool weather life-changer for me was a coffee recipe inspired by Diane Sanfillipo:
1tsp organic grassfed butter
1tsp coconut oil
1/4 tsp pumpkin pie spice
Splash of whole fat coconut milk
Fresh brewed coffee (extra hot)
Whirl in a single-serve blender (or I use a handheld milk frother… Best $15 ever spent)
Pumpkin Spice Latte!!!!!
It’s so easy and yummy, I make it every morning before work and now I can’t even remember the last time I paid for a latte. She has a gingerbread latte concoction too.
In other news, I ordered my tee. My husband (Kale Hater) is going to have a good laugh when I rock it 😉
Love that this goes to a good cause, really cool Gina!
i just ordered my shirt 🙂 so excited! it’s such a cute design, plus the fact that it supports a great cause is just an added bonus 😉
so awesome!! thank you for ordering! 🙂
Hi,
I see the order button but there doesn’t seem to be any way to choose a size. Is it a “one size” shirt?
Oops–I didn’t read the rest of the post about sending you the size after ordering. What’s the size range?
S-2XL
I used to put half a jar of sugar and milk in my coffee every morning, but finally went cold turkey and switched to black coffee. Now I’m weird and don’t like anything in it. I think I went from one extreme to the other!
These are cute t’s! Are they available in V-neck by any chance?
I don’t think I’d like butter in my coffee but I can definitely see how maple syrup would be delicious!
The shirt is great! I haven’t tried butter in my coffee yet, mostly because I don’t really drink coffee. And I teach a double-header of classes on Wednesday nights so have been craving Thursday yoga. Have a good one!
Hahaha WAY too funny! I love the t!
Those shirts are SO cute! I’m all about the kale.. and the great cause!
I’ve heard of crossfit folks doing that whole butter in the coffee bit…I’m not sure I’m brave enough for it!
Just ordered my shirt! 🙂 Super cute design and I’m thrilled to be helping people in need!
Thanks, Gina!
thank you again, tracy!! <3 xoxo
I tried the butter in my coffee and put it in a blender and it was perfect!
I don’t know about butter in coffee – it just doesn’t seem quite right. I would still try it though. My favorite is almond milk in coffee. I don’t like my coffee sweet, just nice and creamy
I think this is what started the whole “butter in coffee” thing: https://www.bulletproofexec.com/bulletproof-coffee-recipe/. BTW–coconut milk (the thick part without the watery part) is also good in coffee.
I will sometimes go away for the weekend and come home to sad milk 🙁 My go to is a spoonful of ice cream! I may not always have milk, but I definitely always have ice cream in the freezer!
Glad you gave the butter coffee a go – I’m hooked on the stuff! As for the maple syrup add in? This I have to try! I’m sure a combo of the two would be utterly lethal… 😉
I love putting Trader Joe’s Coconut Cream (the thick and delish kind) in my coffee. I don’t get to do it all of the time (i only make it there about every other month), but it is my favorite!
I have heard of coconut oil in the coffee, but not butter. I might have to give it whirl.
Love the t-shirt! Will you ship to Canada?
sure!
I’ve been so curious to try butter in my coffee but am still a little weirded out by it! Now I just might try it! Haha. My stepdad tried it last year and swore it was good! I haven’t tried maple syrup in my coffee, but that sounds amazing, especially with pancakes! 🙂
it’s sooooo good 🙂
The shirt is so cute! Do you have any idea how the sizing runs?
they run small, so i’d go one size up!
what size did you order? posting on my page tomorrow! 🙂
medium! thank you!! 🙂
ORDERED!, but it never asked me to choose a size?
I love the T! Such a great idea!
They probably don’t ship overseas right?
if you’d like, send me an email and we can figure out shipping 🙂
disregard, just got the email haha
ok perfect!
I only ever got a confirmation email from paypal. When I replied back to it, it was undeliverable. What am I doing wrong?
you should have received another one from ejunkie. the subject is “your kale yeah comfy tee purchase”
let me know if you don’t see it! either way, i’ll be making a spreadsheet with all of the addresses and shipping sizes. if i have missing info from anyone, i’ll send an email to double check before i place the order!
Cute!
Not much of a coffee drinker nor butter…but it sounds like an interesting combo.
I love the t-shirt and just ordered mine…can’t wait! Such a great cause!
I am loving “Bulletproof” coffee. I don’t do it very often, mostly on a random weekend day, but when I do I am quite full for hours. I use about 1 tbl grassfed unsalted (key!) butter, such as Kerrygold, and about 1 tsp coconut oil. Blend that up in a Magic Bullet or other small blender and yummy yum yum! A cool trick–put hot water in the blender while you’re grabbing the butter and oil so that when you use it (after dumping out the water), the coffee stays hot.
LOVE the shirt! Can we order them in a Men’s cut, or is it only available in women’s fit / sizes?
My boyfriend would looove this shirt (and then we could match haha)
please send me an email and i can check with my contact to see if we can get a couple of men’s cuts printed. xoxo
I was going to ask the same thing, my brother would be all about this! Will they ship internationally?
I’ve heard of butter in the coffee. A friend of mine is a model (like real-deal runway model!) and she puts butter in her coffee, which makes me think it’s super chic. 🙂
I also want to say that I really admire and respect the fact that you sought out a responsible source for your t-shirts. I wish all clothes (and all THINGS for that matter!) were made so lovingly!
I’m not sure if you answered this already or if it blatantly clear and I’m just not seeing it for some reason but do you ship the t-shirts internationally?
My morning is also incomplete without tea. Butter coffee is also an amazing deal.
