This simple, mouthwatering ceviche recipe is from my friend, Dave Asprey, founder of Bulletproof®. This is the perfect dish to make when you want something rich in healthy fat without spending too much time in the kitchen. Put this ceviche together in the morning and by lunchtime, the acid will have “cooked” the fish. It also features Brain Octane, a powerful MCT oil that I’ve written about in this blog post. Consider MCT oil as a super fuel for your cells because it boosts fat burning and increases mental clarity. Click here for the PDF version.
