Dave Asprey introduced his BulletProof Coffee several years ago, and it has become extremely popular. Here is a link to his website. Below is my spiced version that I love and drink almost every morning. There are interesting health benefits from coffee, coconut oil, ghee from the butter of grass-fed cows, cinnamon, and organic cacao. It is easy to make your own ghee, and here is a link to my recipe.
If your body is not used to these quantities of healthy fats, you must start slowly. Use only 1-2 teaspoons of the coconut oil as well as the ghee at first. Gradually increase the amounts until you reach the suggested measures in my recipe. Obviously, all the ingredients should be adjusted for your taste.
You will need a good blender to get the mixture to froth. Examples would be a Vitamix, Ninja, or Magic Bullet. Instead, you could use a stick blender like the Cuisinart Hand Blender, but the brew may not froth well.

1-3 Tsp organic cacao powder
1-3 Tsp ground Ceylon cinnamon
