I’ve been baking and concocting recipes like a crazy person lately in preparation for the holidays and have some great ones to share with you-the first is today’s Skinny Peppermint Mocha Latte-a tasty winter treat that won’t leave you feeling guilty!
Just like my Skinny Pumpkin Spice Latte I shared this fall, this recipe is light on calories and saves you a ton of money over buying expensive coffeeshop versions-and it’s even easier to make than the pumpkin latte!
So what are you waiting for? Whip up this holiday mocha in just minutes!
Ingredients
- ⅔ cup skim milk
- 1 cup strong brewed coffee, I used a Folgers Caramel Drizzle K-cup
- 2 tablespoon cocoa powder
- 2 packages Stevia
- ⅛ teaspoon peppermint extract
- fat free whipped cream, white chocolate chips, and candy cane for garnish if desired
Step by step
{Hang on, we’re getting complex here!}
- Add cocoa, Stevia, peppermint extract, and milk to coffee.
- Stir well.
- Garnish with whipped cream, chocolate chips and crushed candy cane if desired.
Boom. Mocha done! How easy, right?
Recipe variations
- Use a milk frother on the skim milk before adding to the coffee
- Warm milk and cocoa on the stove until bubbly for a thicker consistency
- Use cacao nubs instead of chocolate chips
- Try dark chocolate cocoa to intensify the flavor
- Add a coffee or mocha flavored protein powder to make it a meal
