coffee

Peppermint Mochas are my weakness this time of year. I love the combination of warm chocolatey sweetness with refreshing peppermint. However, I don’t love the blood sugar crash that inevitably happens after drinking one. With a peppermint mocha from Starbucks you’ll end up with 63 grams of carbs and 54 grams of sugar in just a grande! However, with the recipe below you’ll get 17 grams of carbs and only 4 grams of added sugar. 

I love it! I have a tasty peppermint mocha (all year long!) without feeling sluggish in 2 hours and I think it goes without says, my version is waaaay better for your budget too. I also like that I can make this with decaf coffee at home and enjoy it as a cozy beverage while watching Christmas movies at night! 

If you’re not a coffee drinker, I’ve also made this with all milk (12 oz total) and no coffee and still tastes great!
