If you’re like us, you love curling up with a warm, frothy beverage in the wintertime.

But you also don’t want to throw out all of your healthy eating efforts for the sake of a sugary hot chocolate or loaded cup o’ joe. Don’t worry – we’ve got your back. In the spirit of holiday sipping, we bring you our latest love… a (healthy) DIY peppermint mocha! It’s got all the comfort and deliciousness of your coffeehouse fave but it’s made without all the crap (crap = HFCS, loads of added sugar, artificial flavors, and more).

In fact, if you walk into a Starbucks and order a Grande Peppermint Mocha this is what you’ll get inside:

But life’s too short to have to give up your fave holiday bevvy. I mean coffee + chocolate + mint = heaven in a mug. So what’s a girl to do?

Make your own! It’s actually really easy – you can get all the frothy goodness of a mocha without even leaving your house (can you tell we’re homebodies over here?). Instead of your standard milk-based latte, we use organic coffee, add in some healthy fats (they’ll help keep you full longer), use smarter sweeteners, and spice it up with some bonus ingredients that together create the most heavenly (healthy) peppermint mocha. So, without further ado, here’s the healthy, low-sugar peppermint mocha recipe you’ve been waiting for!
