I've been drinking "bulletproof coffee" lately as part of a diet. Basically coffee with butter, coconut oil, and flavia. Supposedly gives me good fats and no sugar to serve as a mini-meal and help me keep a fast. The one thing about it is that it's tedious to prepare in the morning. Maybe that's a hint that there could a business selling "health" coffee drinks, coffee with supplements, etc. That's one thing I really haven't seen offered commercially.

Have you a recipe for that? It sounds disgustingly fascinating!

It's a branded thing from a guy who wrote a book called the Bulletproof Executive. He uses MCG oil instead of coconut oil. I heard about it from Ace of Spades's blog. Ace is on a diet called "intermittent fasting" and he writes about the coffee here: http://ace.mu.nu/archives/364949.php
I can't testify as to its magical properties, but it does help me get through several hours without breakfast and tastes great.
For me it's one large k-cup of coffee with:
1 tbsp unsalted butter
~1 tbsp coconut oil
1 packet Flavia sweetener
pinch of cinnamon
Get an immersion blender (a little hand-held device that looks like an O-shaped coil at the end of a wire) and use it to mix it all up frothy...
