Healthified Peppermint Mocha
Serves 15 mins prep1 mins cook
Did you catch the recipe for these #healthified Peppermint Mochas earlier in our 12 Days of #Fitmas? ☕️ I demo’d them for a corporate wellness group’s holiday party yesterday because they’re so simple you can make them at work (or home)! No excuses for those over-priced, over-sweetened coffee shop bevs anymore 😉 Did you know a traditional peppermint mocha has over 50 GRAMS of sugar?? That’s more than two days worth of your recommended allotment. 😬 This recipe has a fraction of that so will give you the caffeine buzz and comforting taste you’re looking for without the afternoon sugar crash and energy slump. Try it for yourself and let me know what you think!

Instructions
Pour coffee into mug and stir in peppermint extract if using unflavored. Add sweetener if desired (natural options like maple syrup, honey, agave, or stevia for low-sugar recommended). Place milk in large microwavable jar and heat for 30-45 seconds. Stir in cocoa powder, then use a small hand blender to froth. Slowly pour over coffee, adding whipped topping as a final step if needed. Enjoy! 🤗View original recipe
