{Sugar-Dairy free} Iced peppermint mocha coming in hot, hot, hot (or iced, iced, iced but it just doesnt have the same ring to it does it?!)!!!!
Anyway, sugar free iced peppermint mochas that can be hot or iced! Deliciously winning on so many levels!!!
Hands down one of my all time fave holiday drinks. Ever! & something I’ve been having every day since the start of December Sorry Im only just now telling you about it . Forgive me?!
One sip & all will be forgiven I just know it (even just the smell) makes my Christmas lovin’ heart (& belly) all kinds of happy.
The decadent richness of cacao combined with that gentle hum (or loud rev if you prefer) of espresso & that subtle hint of minty freshness
Seriously, so good! Starbucks who?!
*No added sugar
*Packed with protein
*Loaded with gut-healing goodness
All I want, every day between now & Christmas pls!
And yes, I’d you aren’t a fan of coffee (pls tell me how we’re friends again?! jk – ILY) just leave it out & have yourself a creamy, dreamy choc mint chiller. It will still be insanely delicious just not quite as magical IMO
Honestly, I can’t think of a better way to start, end or fill the day than binge-watching Christmas movies with a cup of this deliciousness!
You in? Of course, you are, you’re cool like that!
