Craving that calorie-laden Peppermint Mocha from your favorite coffee chain? Make it yourself with this low-calorie version of Peppermint Mocha that uses flavored stevia!
CLEAN EATING PEPPERMINT MOCHA
Can we just tell you how much we love the holidays? It’s such a fun time of year and just because you are a clean eater, doesn’t mean you should miss out on any (and we said ANY) of the festive drinks available this time of year. Insert your favorite coffee chain here and let’s whip up something that will take your taste buds straight through to December!
Think Starbucks Copycat Peppermint Mocha…
We used unsweetened almond milk in this recipe but organic cow’s milk will work just as well (although it will change the macros). We used the Sweetleaf Peppermint Mocha drops in this recipe but if you can’t find that particular flavor you could mix Chocolate Stevia Drops and Peppermint Stevia Drops drops.
This is such a wonderful drink! It’s so easy to make and will wow your guests (or your taste buds). You will forget all about that corner coffee shop and start enjoying treats that are as good for you as they taste!
